• Satellite P300D-130 - activate the AHCI on Windows XP mode

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop and replace Vista by XP to get performance for games.
  I've been reading about SATA (AHCI mode) and WinXP and for the installation, I put the Bios on the compatibility.
  But now I want to install the AHCI drivers but its almost impossible. So please help me!

  My computer:
  Toshiba Satellite P300D-130 (PSPDCE)
  Chipset: AMD 780G
  hard drive: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX
  Southbridge: ATI SB700
  I found a tutorial to install the drivers:
  [http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-enable-ahci-windows-xp/]
  [http://www.tt-hardware.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11513] (in french) that they use the driver intel, very simple, with intel, why not with amd?

  But the big problem is to find the driver: in this forum, I see some post reported the drivers are in the display driver in a folder SBDrv name, but it does not work!

  So I did some research on google, ati and amd Web site and I found some drivers and has tested them without any result: still the same message when I try to update the drivers: "the specified location contains no information about your hardware."

  Here's a screenshot of my hardware:

  Thanks (and sorry for my bad English)

  On AMD laptops such as yours, you should display driver.
  The display driver contains the SATA driver to a Windows XP installation on a functional level. The driver, you can also find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  If you downloaded the driver you have two options: you can copy the driver on an external floppy drive and load it after booting from the CD with F6 or you build your own installation with nLite disk: [www.nliteos.com]
  I did good experiences with nLite. It s a nice and easy to use tool.

• Activate the AHCI in Windows 8 / BIOS - HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

  Greetings,

  My computer:

  HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

  Windows 8 Pro

  AHCI is currently disabled on my computer and I want to get the best performance out of it. It can be enabled easily through the windows registry, but to get this to work I need to be sure that the AHCI is currently enabled in the BIOS as well. When I enter the BIOS it's not just all advanced options available, only the time and date and other bases. How can I know weather or not that AHCI is enabled in the BIOS? How can I access the advanced options in the BIOS to turn on the AHCI (if it is not already turned on, that is)?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Hello:

  The BIOS of HP notebooks of consumption made in recent years is already set to AHCI, and it cannot be changed to any other setting.

  In some models that offer two hard drives, the default value of the BIOS can be on the RAID.

  Computers to only HP business notebooks have a BIOS setting to change the controller in AHCI or IDE mode.

  Go to Device Manager and expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and you should see a speed control that is listed as a SATA AHCI controller.

  In the case of AMD laptops, it can just be tagged as a SATA controller.

• AHCI for Windows professional XP on Elitebook 2560p drivers

  Due to a specific part of the software, I'm trying to install Windows XP on an EliteBook 2560p with drivers for the SATA AHCI controller.  Where can I get these drivers, and what is the best way to install?  I guess that since the laptop doesn't have a floppy drive I need to incorporate them into my XP CD?  What is the specific chipset driver? -from what I've seen on the page from Intel, there are a bunch of different options; ICH10d, ICH10R, ICH7M, etc, etc.

  Thanks in advance.

  TSK, tsk.  You must have obtained the name of the first ACHI SATA controller.

  This is the reason why we should always have a USB FDD in their Toolkit.

  Ok. I'll take a guess and say that you have the Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller.

  Now that you have already installed XP, first install the chipset driver and restart.

  Download the second listed file and then extract these drivers to a folder that you put somewhere on your drive C:\ so that you can navigate him later.

• Inspiron 620 SSD upgrade is no longer support AHCI with Windows 10

  Hi all

  I had installed a Crucial SSD of CT256MX100 when you use Windows 7 without properly checking the parameters of AHCI and TRIM. This seemed to be working very well and providing very high throughput, however, upgrade to Windows 10 (from one day to the next... :/) there was a significant slowdown (20 second power to 4 minutes). After having looked around for a way to remedy this, I was unable to find the option AHCI in the BIOS for my Inspiron 620. It says in the manual of the system it is an option, an idea on how to activate it? Reinstall the OS?

  To all those who can offer constructive help, thanks in advance!

  I think you'll find these (which were the first latitude to support SATA) used a SATA to PATA Bridge chip - the controller is actually PATA, using a bridge to the SATA drive.  There is therefore, no AHCI option on them.

  The Dx30 models were the first with native SATA (and AHCI) support.

• How can I change my hard drives from IDE to AHCI in windows 7?

  Made me change in the BIOS but Windows 7 just gives the blue screen at startup.   Tried to boot from my Windows disk and run the Startup Repair.  Without success.   Windows could not do the repair.  Must return the BIOS IDE mode for readers.

  I have under5stand I have to AHCI to add any player to solid state.

  The material is as follows:

  Card mother Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, AMD Phenom II 965 6 GB DDR3 memory processor. Western Digital hard drive 1 TB, 1 TB hard drive SATA2 Baracuda SATA3.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976.

  The Msahci in Windows 7 driver is disabled if the initial installation was performed with the value native IDE BIOS. The Msahci driver must be enabled before changing the boot drive SATA/RAID mode.

• How can I make IDE to AHCI in windows 8

  I need to convert IDE to AHCI and how do I do this?

  IM using SATA 2.0

  Oh boy!

  I suggest you first enable it in the BIOS and do a fresh install of Windows 8 to avoid the problems I got.
  It's not easy, that I did recently after I updated my BIOS, and I also have a tri-boot configuration if you enable it in the bios, you will need to do a complete reset because I kept getting errors without end with my installation of Windows 8.
  
  I made the registry changes in Vista and Windows 7 by following these steps:
  1. start "Regedit."

  2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services

  3. open msahci

  4. in the field of right to left click on "Start" and go to edit

  5. in the value data field, enter "0" and click "ok".

  6. exit "Regedit."

  7 restart Rig and get into the BIOS (button 'Delete' hold in Booting and enable ahci in the BIOS) or whatever key is specified in the manual of your motherboard or whether it's a store bought your user's guide.
  If you have Windows 8 is installed, you need to do a slightly different modification in the registry for me that did not work so I did a reset and Windows 8 was bootable.
  It is slightly different in Windows 8:
  Quit all applications

  Go to start and type regedit.

  If you see the UAC (User Account Control) dialog box, just click on continue.

  Locate the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\startoverride

  In the right pane, click Start in the name column, and then click on edit.

  In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

  On the file menu, click on exit to close the registry editor.

  Reboot and enable the AHCI in the BIOS of your system
  I followed these steps and got endless reboots in my Windows 8 partition that only I had to enter the recovery mode and do a full reset.

• Install the driver AHCI for Windows XP

  Recently, I took the preload Windows 7 on my p6210f and installed Windows XP family 32-bit on another hard drive.  I had to change the AHCI IDE controller BIOS to install it, and it's always this way, because the start-up in Windows XP with the AHCI BIOS will give me the stop error message.

  I see on another thread that the AHCI controller can be downloaded here:

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp39501-40000/sp39786.exe

  The thread that is here:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/how-to-downgrade-to-XP/TD-p/1445

  I am wanting to know if I can just run the sp39786.exe thing, restarts at the start screen, change to AHCI and then start normally.

  Thank you.

  The engine number of images is purely the choice of the user. I do an image after a clean installed with all updates & my installed programs. I do sometimes still 5-6 months later if I did several changes in apps, etc, but not a necessity. Most important for me is to have the first image of my machine freshly set up. I can always return to this configuration in less than an hour.

  A person who installs / uninstalls many software may prefer to make several images as. You can save as many images you have the disk space or DVD for. I use USB external hard drive to back up my images which is faster to burn to DVD.

• Support SATA AHCI in Windows XP Professional SP3 x 86

  I build a PC for my friend. It will have Windows XP Pro SP3 x 86 on a disc and Windows 7 x 64 on another. These two records will be SATA, because that's what I use, as well as a player of DVD IDE. The motherboard is a FX ASRockN68C-GS. XP will probably lifted and updated, with a sort of just in case virus protection. I was wondering where I could get the drivers to be loaded during the installation if it recognizes readers.

  Simply place the files in the XP_RAID folder on a floppy disk and installing Windows begins just you will be asked about adding mass storage controllers. Press F6 fast before it moves. Then a screen will come asking you to choose the drivers.

  I would like to know if it works. I know that it works with ordinary floppies but know nothing to try it with USB disks.

  Here are a few screenies...

  

  

• Activation of the AHCI after installing Windows XP on Satellite L300-19Y

  So, I picked up this laptop used which has Vista installed on it. I got rid of him, but being not able to install XP I put the laptop in compatibility mode and then installed without problem until I relealised I need to install the SATA drivers as performance was not that great. So I found a way that is similar to many others on the internet just slightly different.

  It works for the controller intel which will have the model in the title. Its the controller ICH9M-E/M that I used this method with.

  # Go to the Intel website and the location of the chipset you have. With this model is the series 4 and select Windows XP as OS. (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Chipsets& ProductLine = cell + Chipsets & ProductProduct = Intel Mobile + % C2% AE + 4 + series + Express + Chipset + family & ProdId = 2991 & LineId = 1088 & FamilyId = 40)
  # Download the drivers from RapidStore F6. It will come in a ZIP file that you need to extract. There will be a series of files in this
  # Then open device under ATA/ATAPI IDE right-click controllers Manager > properties for your controller. She should have ICH9 in the title. And then click driver > update driver
  # The wizard opens, don't go on the internet, press Next, then select install from a specific location > don't search, I will choose the driver to install. Click Next, and then click Have Disk
  # And then navigate to the folder where you extract the files and select the file iaAHCI.inf. It will bring up a list of driver files, you should select one that suits. For the listed model, it will be pilot ICH9M-E/M that will work. Select it and it will install. If it's the wrong file, you will get the BSOD immediately.
  # Restart the computer, go into the BIOS change to AHCI. Then start Windows, it should start. If you have the BSOD, then return to testing and compatibility mode method, but select the iaStor.inf file again.
  # Once the computer has started, launch the Intel Matrix Storage software to make sure that the power is saved. We can say that you replace the file with an older, just replace it for now, so that the registry database is correctly updated. Then after rebooting, use the Update Driver Wizard using the new driver. This has worked well for that day and will result in that you don't have to reinstall the entire operating system to get the drivers
  I found the computer started much faster. The process is similar for all Chipset Intel machines, you just need to make sure that you are able to choose the correct driver.

  Thanks a lot for this interesting publication, naza911. Nice to hear that enabling AHCI works after XP installation.

  This thread is useful for other users of L300 I think or let's say ;) for all computers with AHCI and Windows XP

• I forgot to change the IDE to AHCI in the BIOS when installing programs in Windows 8

  Just installed Windows 8 with a new HD SSD. I forgot to AHCI in the BIOS before installing all my programs. I remembered and set the BIOS to AHCI but Windows 8 will not start. I don't want to do a fresh install. I tried to play with the registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci

  I set the start value data to 0

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pciide

  I set the start value data to 0

  Rebooted and set the BIOS to AHCI Windows is not loading.

  Can anyone help?

  There is a Fixit for Windows 7. It can now work with Windows 8.

  You can try this alternative. I don't know if it will work.

• Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl: Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl replacement HD not recognized when loading windows

  I bought a replacement HD for my Pavilion dv7 - 4153cl and loading windows, I need to load the driver (I guess that a driver IDE or SATA).  It throws an error saying no compatible device not found driver (I can get exact error if necessary).  I went on HP website, downloaded 2 bios drivers, Bios tools, and storage driver.  What is an exe, I ran and then copied the directory created on a CD.

  I point to the CD and still unable to find the device driver.

  Any ideas?

  Record HD:
  Western Digital laptop bare drives 500 GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM hard drive WD5000LPVX

  If another HD is required, no problem.  If it is a driver problem, a pointer in the right direction would be helpful.

  Thank you

  If you are prompted for a driver to support the hard drive during the installation of Windows? It's because the Manager of storage on this laptop isn't RAID, AHCI and Windows 7 isn't this RAID driver available on the installation disc. But fear not only intel makes the driver available here:

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/24779/Intel-rapid-storage-technology-Intel-RST-RAID-driver

  You need the F6 driver for 32 or 64 bit one correct installation that you do.  If 64-bit, you must f6flpy-x 64.zip. These are compressed files (.zip). Download the .zip to a different computer and extract the .zip to a USB key and when you reach him point the Windows installation when it is asked for a driver, navigate to the location where the files were extracted from the thumb drive. This should allow you to proceed with the Windows installation.
