Help Intel x25m installation

Hi,

So I've searched a lot around the community but I can't find the exact answer I was looking for, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've installed win 7 onto my intel ssd without updating the firmware or setting the ssd to AHCI mode. Since I like to do this properly, I would like to reinstall the OS AFTER updating the frimware (to get TRIM support) and setting ssd to AHCI. How do I go about performing a fresh new win 7 install without messing up the ssd?

You Can change from IDE to AHCI without doing a reinstall, But this is very you have to do a regEdit first than change to AHCI and reboot. Read Microsoft article ( KB-922976 ) But Be careful in regEdit you can't miss a step or you will get Blue screen, .
