Tina,
I looked that up, and, from what I can read, if your system recognizes the
drive with the present BIOS settings, leave it alone. AHCI apparently opens
up a whole new can of worms, and the jury is still out on whether or not it
improves anything. I have also read that it requires a complete reinstall
of Windows if you use it. I'm no expert in this area. You would need
someone in a higher pay grade to help with that.
