Yeah, I was reading about the tricks to get into AHCI sans reinstallation, unfortunately after my stupid fiddling with the BIOS. Truth be told, it was working pretty snappy in IDE mode until the hang up. Anyways, a reinstallation later and it's AHCI from here on!

The little incident this morning got me spooked. Any suggestions on how to thoroughly test the drive to make sure I'm not working with a ticking time bomb?
I guess I could run SeaTools in its entirety, I'm just dreading another complete reinstall.

EDIT: I realize now this probably should have gone in the troubleshooting section...
