With that said, I don't think your problem is switching from RAID to AHCI. What happens in that case is either a BSOD or just a plain restart while trying to start Windows. It really sounds like a hard drive failure or if you're lucky, a crappy SATA cable.
Spanky, some users of Win 7 and 8 have reported that a change from AHCI to IDE or IDE to AHCI has caused a very similar (if not the exact) issue. In this help request thread here (http://www.eightforums.com/drivers-hardware/22126-changing-ide-ahci-caused-no-boot.html), the OP says, "The OS is installed while the mode was set for IDE, and afterward it was changed to AHCI. Now, the system does not boot. 'Attempting repair' is displayed and the process does not advance."
I remembered hearing people say this had occurred. So I was wondering if that could possibly do it. This does sound like HDD failure, but you never know with these damn things.
