Why is my SSD listed as ATA and not SSD? does my motherboard

It's intrinsically an IDE drive with a SATA adapter built into it.

youre running it IDE, and you should be running it as ACHI

Read the manual.

Before you go galabanting through your BIOS, changing the settings. You'll need to install the AHCI driver on Windows7. Otherwise once you change, Windows wont boot anymore.

Wait, windows doesn't bundle drivers in the kernel?

I went onto the driver website. Is this the Ahci driver i need to install?

>>57688864

Boot into BIOS and change from IDE to ACHI.

>>57688858
It does, but its disabled by default to avoid errors with older hardware. A countermeasure against normies trying to return or refund their copies of windows because it wouldn't boot right.

There used to be a hotfix for it but I can't find it anymore. Use this guide instead.

That looks like it has nothing to do with your drives.
