Hello,
I have just setup my new computer with Win7 installed on a WD Velociraptor 300GB and an intel SSD X25-M 160GB where I installed Flight Simulator. When I first launched Windows 7, it did not show my SSD in "My Computer" and I had to go to "Disk Management" to select the SSD Drive and "activated" it in NTFS. Now everything seems fine.
Now, I wanted to instal the SSD Toolbox to optimize my drive. In the bios, all SATA drives are set with IDE. Unfortunately, when I launcg the SSD Toolbox, it says that the SSD drive is not compatible with the tool..... what's going on ?
Thank you
Greg

.... but everybody says they changed their BIOS to IDE ?
I f I really need to change my BIOS settings to AHCI, will this affect anthing in my installation or is it really safe to change the BIOS settings to AHCI ? Also, do I have to keep it to AHCI all the time ? Nothing toi change in Win7 ?
Thank you

I dont know, maybe there is a problem with the toolbox too. Anyway with windows 7 you dont need the toolbox. Trim is supposed to work automatically.
Have you updated to the new firmware?
