IDE with SDD

[skycaptn]

Hi guys, I have a multi boot machine with vista 64 ultimate as the primary or first OS installed. I recently installed a Samsung SSD with the Vista OS. I changed the bios from IDE to AHCI mode for the SSD and in doing so I can't switch OS's unless I go into the bios each time and change the Drive config back to IDE because the other os's are still on the velociraptors x4. I plan on changing out the other drives when I can afford it. In the mean is there anything other than leaving the SSD in IDE mode that I can do?

You made the mistake of changing the SATA mode for the SSD after installing Windows on it.
Change SATA mode to AHCI for the SSD, then reinstall Windows on it.

What you doin' dual-booting two Vista OS anyway? Doesn't make sense to me.

I didn't install windows on the SSD I used Samsung's Magician to ghost vista on the new SSD. My multi-boot system has 3 os's, none of which are the same. Don't think I said I was booting dual Vista's?
