• 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.

• Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

  Hello world

  I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

  How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

  How to activate the mode of compensation?

  Thank you.

  Hi Stock4j,

  I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

  To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

  You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.

• Qosmio G50 change IDE to AHCI controller

  Hello
  I recently bought an SSD
  and the wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  How can I change from AHCI? through the BIOS, I don't see any indication in the BIOS
  I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller

  > wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  May I ask if you are sure that something like this exists? I've never heard any update firmware for the IDE controller.

  Of course, you can update the BIOS and can install the SATA drivers that control the HARD disk controller, but you won't find any update of the firmware.

  > I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  I know such option is available, not for all laptops and it is available only with the Phoenix BIOS.
  The G50 supports Toshiba BIOS and the HARD drive controller is always to SATA (AHCI).
  This means that you can not change it to IDE, and so the performance can be reduced or increased.

  In order to install a new OS, you must eat of storage which includes SATA drivers.

• How to enable the AHCI for SSD on M6-1010TX laptop computer HP

  HELO

  Have tried to install an EVO of 840 Samsung 240 GB SSD on my laptop of M6-1010TX with WIN7x64 i5/4 GB and running.

  The SSD seems to work OK, but I when I run Samsung magician this is a warning that it must be set to AHCI.

  Also, most of the menu items are grayed out and unavailable in Wizard, so I can't see or adjust all parameters. I don't even know if the TRIM work.

  There is no possibility of setting to AHCI in the BIOS. (In fact there is no provision for seting pretty much anything in the BIOS)

  I've seen a remedy to a similar problem on this forum under 'How to enable AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook' which offers to upgrade to the latest version of Intel RST, which is supposed to give favor SSD attitude to go with the 7 series Intel chipset.

  I already have the updated HP version of installed RST (2012-05-04 11.1.0.1006), but the Intel site has versions up to 13.1.0.1058 in date 27-05-2014.

  Anyone know if these later versions of Intel are safe to install?

  PS - I 840 Samsung SSD EVO running on 2 HP ProBooks's a little older, and they run like lightning.

  A simple setting in the BIOS to enable the AHCI is available on these. Why not in the new M6?

  Thank you

  OK Hüffer---> we have a update

  I had the opportunity to re - install the SSD drive this morning.

  It seems that you were mostly correct, but there is also a bit of a conflict between the Samsung software and HP hardware.

  When I re-installed this time I connected the SSD in USB BEFORE installing the software (Samsung instructions say to connect AFTER insalling software). This has resulted in much better recognition of the SSD and all the options are now available in Sasung magician.

  EXCEPT - 1. He always warns AHCI mode being "Deactivated (IDE or RAID).

  2. it does not recognize the SATA 3 Interface

  HOWEVER - it seems to work quite fantasmagorically FAAAAAAST

  Samsung Benchmark gives random read/write speeds about 30% above their maximum rate quotes

  These reference speeds are about double what I get from the above, 2 HP ProBooks who have SATA 2 interfaces, so it seems that the SATA3 interface actually works correctly.

  I am now very happy with this performance (but I wish that AHCI warnings were not there)

  So the secret seems to be to connect the SSD drive first and do believe not all alerts when the evidence says it actually works OK.

  Thank you once again to Hüffer,

• How to enable the AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook

  Hello

  I upgraded my hard drive to an SSD and it's done. Laptop works very well.  The Samsung SSD software installed and it says that I need to enable AHCI to get the SSD running at full capacity.

  I searched the BIOS and don't see anywhere to change that.  I then went to the Device Manager in Windows 8.1and I don't see any ATA/SATA controller.  All I see is a RAID controller. RAID controller in a laptop?

  Can someone tell me how to activate the AHCI?

  Thank you.

  

  Hello:

  Because your laptop is a portable consumer there is no way to change the BIOS to AHCI setting.

  The BIOS is set by default for RAID on your model series because some models come with one of these drives covering with a SSD and for a technical reason, that those who must be configured in RAID 0 mode so that Setup work right.

  It is my understanding that if you install the latest driver Intel RST, which is supposed to support TRIM SSD starting with the Intel 7 series chipset, and yours has series 8, so he must have full support for one SSD usage even in RAID mode.

• How to enable the AHCI in HP pavilion dv6700t?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it was possible to enable the AHCI on my pavilion dv6700t.  Chipset intel is a much older model, P965 of 2008 but still works fine.

  In Manager devices, under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, he says that the ich8m-e/m sata AHCI is enabled.  It is reasonable to assume that AHCI is therefore already activated? I have no way to do it via the BIOS, which limited configuration options. It's the PhoenixBIOS l58.

  I am considering installing a SSD as my boot (and only) and I read that the AHCI is important for functions such as the NCQ, etc..

  Thanks for your wisdom!

  Jason

  Hi, Jason:

  Yes, that's correct.

  AHCI is enabled by default.

  This is why everyone struggled to install XP on laptops. AHCI drivers must be loaded before installing XP at the prompt F6 or slipstreamed into a copy of the XP Setup disk.

  Now... you can do whatever you want, but I don't know of anyone on this forum who has installed an SSD in any model dv6000/dv9000 Series notebook.

  If you know it's possible, thanks for posting back after installing a SSD and let us know how you did.

• Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS

  Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

  I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )

  I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976

  I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.

  If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.

  Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.
