    Alright so I purchased the Samsung 830 SSD and I'm planning to do a complete re-install of Windows on it using the re installation disk. I'm on BIOS AO3, and so far I think I'll be the first to try with this BIOS.

    So I

    Install the hard drive.
    Go into BIOS and enable ACHI or something.
    Place the disk in
    Install Windows.
    (But how do I get rid of Intel RST drivers?)
    Can I just find it in the search bar then delete it?

    Just don't install the Intel Rapid drivers. They are on the Dell driver page. If you have them installed, just uninstall from control panel.
