So just to confirm then I can just enable it and when i boot Ubuntu I
shouldnt notice any difference or have to change anything?
I havnt manually edited /etc/fstab on this pc, but I do sometimes manually
mount an intenral NTFS sata drive - will this continue to work as per usual?

Yes I already checked that out and it does seem to not like it, but
apparently I can just enable the driver in the reg before enabling
AHCI....but I wont trouble you guys about that here :)


Thanks again!
