Maybe. Achi mode allows "hot swap" devices to be recognized instantly. Here's the procedure for changing to achi without a fresh windows installation: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?73355-Change-from-IDE-to-AHCI-after-Installation. After changing the windows registry settings, you reboot and press the "del" key to get into the bios. Look for the sata or ide settings, and change from "native ide" to "achi", save and exit. If you don't have an achi setting, windows will continue running in native ide mode. No harm done.
