I found this. Does any body know if it will work. Most everything else I have found says to reistall OS.

You can install the Miscrosoft standard AHCI driver from within Vista throught Device Manager. In Device Manager select you IDE/Sata cotroller and properties and selected updriver. The select browse my computer for driver software. Select let me pict from list. In the screen untick the box "show compatible hardward". Scroll dowwn under the Manufactuer column and select the Standard AHCHI driver and select next. This should the Microsoft AHCI driver. Reboot. Then go into the bios and change your IDE configuration to AHCI. Once your reboot you can then install the AHCI driver for your particular motherboard.

I would suspect the one you want is the one for your motherboard - or the default Intel one for your chipset (assuming an Intel chipset mobo - if it's AMD then obviously AMD drivers not Intel).

That is what I could not figure out. What is on my MB, I look everywhere. Zotac (H55 ITX) did not even know. No worries now, load Vail.
