I installed my new machine a few days ago, and have set up most of my software. However I relaised I had not installed ahci drivers (my Sata raptor 150gb and sata2 Seagate 7200.10 were in ide enhanced mode).
I found a link where there were some instructions for installing the ahci drivers after installation of windows, and i now have the drives set to ahci in the bios and i can se ich7 Ultra ATA & SATA AHCI controllers in device manager. However the sata controller and the drives themselves in device manager dont give me the option anywhere to turn on NCQ.
I have the sinking feeling that i screwed up big time and that I won't get the full performance benefit of my drives without a reinstall.
Can anyone tell me what the impact of this situation is? Is it worth a reinstall and re-doing hours of setup....?
