Hi,

I used to have a RAID-0 of 2 regular HD with Vista. I added a new Intel G2 SSD and installed Win 7.

If I understand properly, I will not be able to use the TRIM feature because of the BIOS being in RAID mode. Right?

I do not care any longer of my old RAID and would like to change the BIOS and use AHCI. Will Win 7 load? Will it install proper drivers? I'm a little bit scare to try it and take a chance to screw my installation.

Thanks
