P55-GD85 SATA III problem

Question

I have just built my system with WD Caviar Black SataIII and installed windows 7 with the hard drive in the SataII port. Everything went great, until I realized I has it in the wrong Sata port and wanted to utilize the SataIII connection to take advantage of the whole reason to buy the board and the hard drive. When I try an switch over, windows attempts to load and then BSOD and restarts immediately.
I dont know if my SataIII controller is bad. Is there anyway to tell???

What is incorrect about it? Revison 1(I)->1.5Gb/s, Revison 2(II)->3Gb/s and Revision 3(III)->6Gb/s.  Makes perfect sense to me. 
I was just referring to what it says on that Wikipedia page:

Terminology
The name SATA II has become synonymous with the 3 Gbit/s standard. In order to provide the industry with consistent terminology, the SATA-IO has compiled a set of marketing guidelines for the third revision of the specification.
    * The SATA 6Gb/s specification should be called Serial ATA International Organization: Serial ATA Revision 3.0.
    * The technology itself is to be referred to as SATA 6 Gb/s.
    * A product using this standard should be called the SATA 6 Gb/s [product name].
Using the terms SATA III or SATA 3.0 to refer to a SATA 6Gb/s product, is unclear and not preferred. SATA-IO has provided a guideline to foster consistent marketing terminology across the industry.
Clear as mud!
