Ssd settings?

[gav_the_chav]

I have purchased the crucial m4.

Reading around the net has left me a little confused as to how ssd drive should be set-up when installing a new opsys, in my case win 7 64bit.

Do I have enable AHCI in bios before installation, or when I'm in windows through registry tweak, then reboot enter bios, then set up AHCI reboot again and now It work,s.

Also, am I right that when windows installs it will take care of formatting using quick format for me, or do I have to tell it to do this, and do I have to make a partition? again is this taken care of?

Please help!

Lots of great info, thanks. can,t wait to see the boot times and loading of games and apps etc etc...

I may not need to update the firmware if it,s the latest, is this info in the bios?
