You start with step 1 while you are still in Windows in IDE mode.
1. Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
2. Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
3. Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
4. Navigate to Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide
5. Set the "Start" value to 0 (zero)
6. Shut down
7. Start up again, but before Windows boots go into the BIOS configuration screens and change the disk mode to "AHCI". Save the new BIOS configuration and restart so that Windows boots.
When Windows starts, it will detect the change, load new disk drivers, and do one more reboot to start up with them.
There is also a kind of failsafe method but I forgot exactly how I did it before. It's the changes you need to make when changing the whole motherboard and can't be bothered to reinstall Windows from scratch. Yes it can be done. I did it myself when I upgraded from an AMD cpu to the i7 920 that I'm still running today.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
