Greg,
Where might I look to find those steps. And, it there a real advantage
to doing the switch to AHCI?
Thanks.

Yes. In general, you cannot swap freely between AHCI and IDE/ATA modes, as
this can result in a no-boot situation. You can usually just swap it back
and be back up and running, though. Interestingly, I have had machines
(notably, our fleet of Dell Latitude D630's and E6400's under Vista and W7)
where I COULD freely swap between the two--not sure what the difference is.
There are some steps you can take to make the change without reinstalling
the OS.

Yeah, not much said about it. Pretty scary that one setting like this
can render a system unbootable...
At least Windows Backup& Restore worked in this instance...it was
truly
lovely to be back up so quickly.
