The worst case is _slightly_ worse than that, but certainly no smoke. |

Some systems (my 6 drive RAID compute server for instance) changes |
| 20 |
drive mapping between AHCI and compatibility modes so I had to adjust |
| 21 |
/etc/fstab. If Dale is using labels of some type he will likely be |
| 22 |
better off than I was. |

There certainly won't be any harm caused by changing the BIOS setting |
| 25 |
to AHCI and trying it out. Reboot and change BIOS back is all he would |
| 26 |
have to do in my experience. |
