Question IDE to ACHI

[Strongwolf2]

I have a 1TB WD Black that has been running as IDE. Can it be "convert" to ACHI so to avoid conflict with my SSD? I didn't see the option when installing windows; so, can it be done? I want the WD for backups and such.

Switch from IDE to AHCI after installing Windows 7 or Windows 8
