    When you turn your notebook on, press F2 repeatedly (or refer to your manual to access the BIOS), this should take you to your BIOS so that you can check through the settings. Usually under the Advanced section of your BIOS you can locate Advanced Chipset Control, AHCI, or Robson Turbo Memory (again, refer to your manual). Make sure that this setting is enabled or switched from IDE to AHCI and if it is you are ready to rock.

    Like TravisA said, AHCI must be enabled in the BIOS. However, when you reinstalled vista, did you make sure AHCI was enabled in the BIOS? That must be done in order for vista to recognize and utilize turbo memory. If you didn't enable it in the first place, and enable it later, Vista will crash and you must reinstall vista again for turbo memory to work.
