Ok, maybe this is a silly question, but WTH, I'm gonna ask it anywise.....

Does Windows 7 recognise AHCI settings natively, and would using it under XP require that I use the dreaded F6 Drivers?

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info.

I'm working on the second full ssd install (both on my folding rigs) with XP, so I'll look at the "after the fact" install for AHCI, but I'm putting 7 ultimate on my main rig so will do AHCI on it even though it's just a standard HDD.
