In fact I never had AHCI enabled, the BIOS was set for SATA all the time. If you choose AHCI in the BIOS there's a message saying to make sure you have the proper driver for your OS, which I didn't have at the time.

But I'm wondering if I *must* use AHCI in Win7 for some reason, and not changing over to that before the upgrade caused a problem once I installed the second disk after getting Win7 up and running.
