Thanks for the links!

But I don't think I need AHCI unless it's necessary for Win7 for some reason, nobody is reporting huge upticks in performance and other than that the only reason to have it enabled is for hotswapping disks which I don't really care about.

The only reason I would enable it is if I must do so to run Win7, and that doesn't seem to be the case.

Edit: oh wait, there's something there about it allowing you to use the "extra" SATA ports, maybe that's the problem. I just assumed that all the SATA ports were okay to use without special changes being made.
