Change the SATA mode in Windows 8

I'm moving to sata IDE to RAID mode in Windows 8 in order to avoid the re-formatting my hard drive. The solution in Win7 (update registry KEY in regedit does not work). Any advice?

With all due respect, Srivinvasa Sharath, your answer is very useful.  The question is not ' how can I change the SATA mode in my BIOS?  But, on the contrary, assuming I already know how to change the SATA in my BIOS mode, how Win8 to accept this change and actually start correctly.  There is a guide on how to proceed for Win7, but it doesn't work for Win8.  So we would know what to do differently with Win8 to make it work.

Here is a link to the article corresponding Win7 so you will see what is asked:

    The high performance is hidden you will need to click the arrow to open the option where the mode performance.

  • Cannot change the Compatibility Mode

    I'm trying to run an application on a new Windows 7 PC.  It works fine with no special settings on a Windows 7 PC identical (same model number, same OS, same OS updates).  But on the second machine Windows does not allow me to change the compatibility mode to Windows 7.  He insists on locking myself in other compatibility modes and greys and then the selection to return to Windows 7.  Worse, whenever I run the program I have to answer the nattering question "do you want the next request to make changes to this computer?  -Yes!  No matter what!  just, let me alone and run the application!

    (1) how do stop this Moguls and force Windows 7 leaves me alone and run the application?

    (2) how set the compatibility mode to Windows 7 (or eliminate the comaptibility altogther mode) for this application?

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times with no luck.

    Yes, lowering the UAC slider leaves your pc more reports unprotected, which was why I mentioned only use it as an experienced user (.. .knowing your way around your pc...)

    This problem only occurs with the .exe in question btw?

    You can still work around a problem in the registry. I found this (below) on several sites. Before you begin, I STRONGLY suggest that you make a backup of the registry . How? Type regedit in the search bar in the startmenu, then press on enter, confirm the UAC, click file-> export, choose a file name and choose where you want to save the exported .reg file, select (dot) all under Export range option, type a name for the .reg file and click on the Save button.
    ! The registry is not a place for fun if you know exactly what you are doing. You will have to pay dearly if something goes wrong!
    You can access the registry by typing regedit in the search bar in Startmenu, but you probably already know.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    All settings in the Compatibility tab can be set through the registry

    -Open REGEDIT
    -goto "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers".
    -create a new string value
    -name or rename the full path asked for example "C:\Program Explorer\iexplore.exe may.
    -Right click on the new channel and select Edit
    -type RUNASADMIN in line with value data; This will rank the program to run as administrator.
    This allows you to bypass the graphical mode of editing the parameters. Instead, you change the registry settings. And of course, you can ignore the advances
    The shortcut properties. Better start the program by default
    Administrator mode! : o ;)

    I used it for Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) which is part of the
    System.

    A shortcut on the desktop can be configured to run as administrative mode.
    But, if I run the IE7 browser, leave a link URL or Favorite, that this doesn't
    work and Windows Vista it will run in User Mode... UNLESS I CHANGED
    THESE OPTIONS WITH REGEDIT. To start regedit click on Start Menu, then
    "Run...". "type REGEDIT. EXE or REGEDIT.

    Other Options and examples .
    Always in the key called a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers you can add more variables:

    RUNASADMIN: I just said, run as administrator of the program
    : rolleyes:;
    256COLOR: run the program in 256 colors;
    640 x 480: Add this value to run a game or another application in a lower
    RES;
    DISABLETHEMES: to disable visual themes Windows 4 adds that the app;
    DISABLEDWM: Disabled Desktop Composition;

    HIGHDPIAWARE: Disable the display timing of ppp settings high;

    ELEVATECREATEPROCESS: I don't know, unknown function. : confused:

    VALUES of COMPATIBILITY (not use'em together, only by app!):
    Win95: Add the Windows 95 compatibility mode;
    Win98: Add Windows Me or 98 compatibility mode;

  • Problem with the files not showing (after changing the USB mode)

    I have a sansa fuze 4 GB. version V02.01.09A. OS: Vista Service Pack 1. My rocket was working fine until about a week ago, when it stopped charging. but after installing the new norton 360 sansa is more appeared in my computer or Windows media player at all. I tried updating the driver but it says that the pilot was already up to date. I tried other USB ports again (front and rear), did not work. I decided to change the USB mode and it has finally started to load again in MSC mode.

    now, for the problem I currently have and, when I click on sansa via my computer and go to the music folder, it says "this folder is empty". I unplugged and watched in my music list, and all the music is there. I tried to put a new song on the player, disconnected, and when looking through the songs of the player the new song is here. I reconnected it, the new song is in the music folder, but the other songs are not listed. In addition, I have a microSD card that is listed as "o" in the car, all the songs I had on this appear, but not those on memory internal to the sansa.

    How can I get again list all music files in the folder?

    Note: I do not sync as it has only some of the songs I want on my sansa. the way I add songs is to copy and paste to the folder of the sansa player

    Okay, I don't know why or how, but it works now in MTP mode. I saw you are solutions, but I decided I'll just change the mode before trying to have ideas. until I reconnected it I also removed the microSD card, and it worked perfectly (make a backup of my songs). the problem could have the sd card in all this time?

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work after changing the blending mode to a layer

    There is a strange bug that I experienced with photoshop. Whenever I change the blending mode to a layer (for example by selecting "Multiply" in the menu drop-down blending mode), my keyboard shortcuts stop working until I have click on the canvas again. It's annoying because often, I'll be on the Brush tool and I did draw on the canvas and press ctrl + z to re - activate keyboard shortcuts. I'm curious to know if this problem occurs to someone else and if anyone has found a solution for this.

    Version of Photoshop: 20150722r.168 x 64

    Operating system: Windows 10

    It happens on Windows, because the drop-down list with blend modes remains highlighted or active (around the blue line). You can press ENTER to confirm and delete the highest point around blend mode dropdown or use keyboard shortcuts to change the layer blending mode. To change the layer blend mode, you must have selected layer and then press Shift + Alt + letter for the blend mode. This shortcut does not work in the case where the tool you are using have mode option in the blending Options bar.

    I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

    It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

    Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

    Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.

    Please SEND THIS If POSSIBLE to BILL GATES AND ALL OTHER MICROSOFT GURU OR MANAGER WHO CARES REALLY BRING of BILLION OF DOLLARS EXTRA to MICROSOFT OF the STRANGER.  OR AT LEAST SEND TO ANYONE WHO CARES MORE TO THE SUCCESS OF MICROSOFT AND THE FUTURE.
    My question to which I have still not got an answer was; If "Windows 7 Ultimate" has a button by which we could change the display language for windows with a single click in the computer. To change this through many steps are not an option for billions of nonEnglish speakers who doesn't understand enough about how to do these steps, so they decide that it is not worth to buy Windows in a foreing language to them, so they use just illegal free or cheep Windows copy from one computer to the other. They prefer windows in English, but only at certain times to have display in English and to be able to go to their native language at will. We want a button click on change of English in any foreign language major, on and before each time that decide us or want to change.
    Many steps in trying to change the display language is not an option. I am an English speaker fluent, but I like both French and Spanish. I have XP, but for me it is better to buy the Windows7Ultimate if he proposes a change to the language screen button click in windows. IT IS NOT AT ALL FOR ME TO BUY WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE IF I Y GO EVERY TIME THROUGH THE PROCESS ENTIRE HEADACHE TO UNINSTALL ALL MY PROGRAMS AND WIDOWS AND INSTALL AGAIN JUST TO HAVE THE DISPLAY OF THE LANGUAGE I WANT AT ANY TIME I WANT.    BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON EARTH DESIRES TO PASS ENGLISH LANGUAGE MORE THE WORLD AND THEIR OWN LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND BETTER, TO SWITCH YOU AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED OR WANT IT, EVERY DAY WHEN DOES.
    It is not practical for us, nor possible because we do not have the time to uninstall windows or a 5 times language pack, or 6 or 7 times a day just so that we could switch between English and French or Spanish or Chinese-Mandarin Hindu SEVEN times per day that we might need. WE WANT to SWITCH BETWEEN WINDOWS DISPLAY LANGUAGE ENGLISH AND ALL OTHER MAIN FOREIGN LANGUAGE 100 TIMES a DAY IF WE FEEL WITH THE CLICK OF A button I LOVE and no one should stop us to do, and I mean that WE SHOULD HAVE THAT OPTION of BEING ABLE to DO so, BUT I'M NOT aware THAT WE DO.
    SO please LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE the OPTION with the HELP of THE OTHERWISE ULTIMATE de WINDOWS 7 IT does IS NOT INTERESTING for me to buy Windows7Ultimate since Windows XP, it's still as good or better.    About 5 billion people on earth or more do not speak English a lot understand enough - well BUT they would like to (and I will) to switch between the English and their (or my) native language in the display of Windows, several times per day whenever we want.
    Have we THAT the OPTION TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE in WINDOWS WITH a SINGLE CLICK of a BUTTON AVAILABLE IN Windows7Ultimate OR NOT?


    That's what I need to know, but no one answered my question so far.  Don't give me more than a link to a web page where I could buy or download a language pack that I would have to install and uninstall 10 times a day if I want to change from English to Spanish or the French and return in English and Spanish, and so on 10 times a day.  This process is stupid and a waste of time and it is not difficult, if not impossible for most of us (of the billion of us). WE NEED AND WE WANT TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE IN WINDOWS WITH A SINGLE CLICK OF A BUTTON AS MANY TIMES WE WANT EVERY DAY.  IF I PAY MICROSOFT A LOT OF MONEY IT SHOULD AT LEAST BE WORTHED.
    SO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. ABOUT 5 BILLION OF US SPEAK NOT ENGLISH FAIRLY WELL, EVEN IF WE WISH TO PASS ENGLISH AND OUR LANGUAGES KINDERGARTEN ON, BEHIND 10 OR 20 OR 100 TIMES A DAY, AS WE CAN HAVE THE NEED OF THE DO.  We cannot simply install and uninstall some language pack 10, 20 or 100 times a day else we will not be able to do anything except waste our valuable time.  SO GIVE US WANT WE WANT.
    PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE US.
    PEOPLE IGNORED USES PIRATE WINDOWS WINDOWS TOOK A COPY AND DISSEMINATE OR INSTALLED IN HUNDREEDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS. It's in your best interest, not to ignore the poor who are familiar with the English people or foreigners, who believes that if they can't buy the windows with this option (to BE ABLE to SWITCH THE DISPLAY LANGUAGE BETWEEN ENGLISH AND THEIR OWN NATIVE WINDOWS WITH THE click OF A BUTTON AS MANY TIMES as THEY WISH every DAY) , then it is not worth to buy it at all, but not worth it from one computer to the other side even if it is illegal.  This is the case today in most of the countries of the Earth. There are more illegal copies of Windows 98 and 2000 in use abroad as any copy of Windows abroad, for this reason = IT does IS NOT WORTH the MONEY WITHOUT THE SWITCHING "ONE click" of ENGLISH FOR FOREIGNERS AND BACK AND FORTH.
    You want to address this problem through the introduction of Windows 7 Ultimate, where you can change the language with the click of a button and worth to have the original of these windows, not you?
    -I would like to personally, otherwise I won't be wasting my time of Magor write you about the need to switch Windows language display to be made possible by a click of a button.
    IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT BILLIONS OF PEOPLE OVERSEAS WITH SUCH NEED AND DESIRE, THEN AT LEAST TO RESPOND TO A FEW HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF FANS OF MULTI LINGUIST OR - SPEAKERS MULTILINGUAL; AND DO YOUR MATH BY MULTIPLYING THIS NUMBER WITH $250 BY THE NEW COPY OF WINDOWS SOLD. (IT HAS TO DO WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL PROFITS). THIS MUST SURELY BE A VERY NICE HIKE IN PROFIT AND IN THE SHARES OF MICROSOFT.  BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE A LOSER OR A SABOTEUR FROM MICROSOFT, THEN GO AHEAD, CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE UNITED STATES AND OUR NEED. MANY OF MY FRIENDS BELIEVES THAT MICROSOFT MINDS AS CLEAR AS THEY ARE, don't ARE STILL NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH to MAKE POSSIBLE TEL NEED AVAILABLE - that is to say: to make possible the switch of the Windows display language from English to another major foreign language with a simple click on a button for us to be able to do is as many times a day as you could want.
    I tell my friends that they are wrong and that you can sell these windows.
    My second question is: ARE they HAVE RIGHT?  OR AM I RIGHT?   WHATEVER THEY ARE, JUST PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS AND DID NOT GIVE ME ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I NEVER ASKED. PLEASE, I BEG YOU.
    AND THIS MESSAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY TO BILL GATES (IF POSSIBLE) OR FOR CERTAIN EXECUTIVES OF MICROSOFT RESPONSIBLE AND WISE MAN WHO COULD AND ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES.   IF YOU WANT OUR MONEY OUTSIDE CANADA, PARTICULARLY OUR EUROS, THEN TO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT.
    A FRIEND far AWAY WHO JUST SEE WHAT I AM WRITING TO YOU, SAID: "IF THEY are not, THEN THE _ WITH ALL THEIR NEW WINDOWS BECAUSE WE're NOT GOING to BUY EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT YEARS of 1O if IL VA y BEING MORE UPDATES OF OUR XP is or NOT."
    About me... maybe I'll stick with my XP for ten years but I could probably use it for the next seven years UNLESS I could buy a copy of the window earlier that allows the windows display language can be maneuvered with a single click of a button between English and French and in Spanish as many times as I wish every day and will without wasting my time to install and uninstall packages of language or reinstall the windows and all other programs I have installed in my computer again and again.
    Well, I hope you could help me with some concrete answers to my questions and good advice about this. IF you do not have available answers to our needs in the "Windows 7 Ultimate" then we should just waith for the next Windows coming after 7 Ultimate WITH the HOPE that you will take care of the major needs in the Windows thereafter, that follows after Windows 7 Ultimate.  Thank you for your time and I'LL WAIT for a RESPONSE FROM YOU.

    Hello danobadiah,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    I merged your nine positions in your last message as they treat everyone the same questions. You had your questions answered several different people in order to help answer your question. The answer to your question, "Windows 7" has a button by which we could change with a single click, the display of the windows in the computer language is 'no '. There's not a single button to make such a change in the display language in the way you described. Persons responding gave you the common way to the Windows 7 operating system works by changing from English to another language. We are not the developers in this forum and do not know if your desire to have a one button click on any major foreign language switch from English is a possibility.

    This is not the right forum to ask your question on a design change. If you want to offer developers a way to change the Windows 7 operating system, and then publish the Web site so that you can give your comments in future versions of the operating system.
