As it stands, we have *at least* **six** questions dealing with enabling AHCI support on an IDE mode Windows installation:

Windows 8 made significant changes to the IDE-to-AHCI process, so #6 should obviously stay as a standalone question.

My proposal for dealing with #1-5 would be to *merge* them (answers and all) into either #2 (which has extremely general wording) or #3 (which has a high view count). I feel that #5 isn't a good candidate because it's rather verbose and not sufficiently general, and #4 and #1 are just low view count dupes of #2/3 (but with quality answers*).

Could an appropriately-privileged community member please consider taking action on this?
