SSD Install with no AHCI

[bvak123]

I am trying to install windows 7 on a new SSD. I was trying to change the BIOS to AHCI and the only options I have are Native IDE and RAID. Am I screwed? It is an AMD 790x mobo.

Also, ultimately I plan on running the SSD off a PCIE port since I only have SATA1 on the mobo. I am currently trying to install from the SATA1 on the mobo and was going to switch to the pcie after the install. If this is a bad idea let me know.

Might try with it set to RAID

I plan to use my old hdd for storage as well. If I try to do the install with RAID will I be able to use the 2 drives with them being seperate.
