• 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.

• HARD drive in PIO mode - very slow

  Anyone else have a HD Sentinel message - or another HARD drive test, that HARD is only in PIO mode, not in Ultra DMA? It's really slow.
  It can be verified, my computer - property - materials - IDE ATA/ATAPI - IDE elementary or secondary school - property - Special - if the watch - PIO transfer mode you have the same problem.
  If Ultra DMA 1-5, you have no problem.

  If anyone has a solution, please report it. Thank you.

  When the primary IDE controller is set to PIO mode, the audio may be distorted or the system can boot and run slowly. To resolve this issue, reinstall the primary IDE channel device driver. Primary IDE controller transfer mode will reset to default DMA.

  Now, I am open to any suggestion that could be a bottleneck above, but my main question is about my setup of my hard drive:

  I have the following drives:

  2 x Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD

  2 x 1 TB WD Caviar Black HARD drive (7200 RPM)

  2 x 3 TB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive (7200 RPM)

  I'm looking for the best speed, performance and use of these readers cs6 Master Collection, with a special attention given to AE, Premiere Pro and Photoshop.

  (FYI: I'll backup all important files on a burning of final projects and external HHD comics)

  My plan inspired by suggestions on AF and elsewhere:

  1.) C: 1 x Samsung SSD: OS & programs

  2.) D: 1 x Samsung SSD: media Cache & Previews

  3.) x Seagate E: 1 3 to HARD drive for exports (should I buy another and raid it?)

  4.) F: 2 x WD 1TBs in Raid 0 for projects

  5.) G: 1 x Seagate 3 TB HHD for media (I would add buy another and raid it?)

  6))) < BONUS disc > I plan on running the tests to see how can I use the max RAM, and all that is not used, I am hoping to hear positive comments on make a virtual disk or a couple of them.   (I saw incredible reference points for them).  If it is recommended that could I use a virtual drive for {2 - Cache of media & Preview} or should I just use it for file exchange, cache and other temporary files? (or he renounce the total?)

  I know it's a trick question, and I'm open to other suggestions which could include buying ~ $300 in additional disks if it will increase enormously the speed and performance.

  Thank you all for reading, and I'm really looking forward to learning of your knowledge and your experience in this field!

  Mike,

  1. Check. Port SATA 6G. Add a static pagefile of 1 or 2 GB here.
  2. Check. Port SATA 6G.
  3. Check. 3G SATA port. No sense in this RAID and double the risk of data loss. Even a 25 GB export should only ± 3 minutes or less to write.
     • The time for export is spent on coding, not on writing. Why take the risk and spend money for a possible second 80-90 win on each export 25 GB? How many times do you do that?
  4. Check. SATA 6G Marvell ports. Make regular backups of your projects.
  5. Check. 3G SATA port. I would be very hesitant to raid0 from the original due to the risk of data loss.
     • X 79 platform is designed for dedicated raid controllers and RAID parity. If you need more speed, go in this direction.
  6. Forget about it. It is not practical. Windows does not start without a swap file, so it will always create a pagefile on C: dynamic if it can't find it. With 64 GB of memory the swap file will be used little or not at all. A static file of 1 GB is sufficient. Whenever you turn off your computer, the RAM disk gets erased and from the start should be newly created. This means that the cache of media must be newly created, indexing, compliant and creation of peakfiles must be made whenever you open a project. This time lost far outweighs the potential gain of a faster RAM drive.

  Hey there! You must contact the Hp Support (1-800-HP-INVENT) and order a set of recovery disks. They run usually about $30.

• Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

  I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

  Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

  Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

  (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

  (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

  (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

  (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

  (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

  (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
  _________

  The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

  So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

  This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

• Changing from 32-bit Win 7 to 64 - bit Win 7. Do I need a 64-bit SCSI driver for my hard drive SCSI of WD32 00BEKT-00F3T for "clean installation?"

  I am currently using Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit on my laptop.
  I intend to switch to Win 7 64-bit and bought the full product and I am ready to install it. I hesitate only because a previous installation of Windows, I remember being trapped because I didn't have the appropriate manufacturer SCSI driver to install during the installation process of Windows (Vista?).
  Win7 Home Premium 64-bit requires separate SCSI the manufacturer driver during installation (clean install!) or is automatically detected and installed with Win 7 64 bit?
  For your info, my HARD drive is: hard drive Western Digital WD32 00BEKT-00F3T SCSI.
  I see in the properties of the HARD drive under Win 7 32 bit driver running is a Microsft (Driver version 6.1.7600.16385) and so I'm hopeful that the switch, I intend require no road by the manufacturer, and that everything will be taken care by the installation of Win 7 64 bit.
  Can you help me, please?

  Yes, you will need a 64-bit driver, there need not be a native driver for Wndows 7 64-bit, you can also use a Windows Vista 64-bit driver if one is available.

• XPS L501X failed HARD drive - need copy of Win 7 for new installation

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the laptop for my nephew who is out of warranty.  I replaced the HARD drive.  The original one would not load the OS and was identified by an on-board diagnostics as the defective HARD drive.  I tried to get a copy of Win 7, but because it's out of warranty assistance automated on the Dell Web site I cannot download a Windows 7 image.  All useful suggestions please.

  Hey Rishi

  Before you receive your answer, I came across an answer to someone who has encountered a similar problem.  The advice they received were trying to restore the default settings in the BIOS.  I did and it allowed me to access the HARD disk again.  At the time where I got the recovery for my own laptop (a Dell Inspiron) disc, in DVD of XPS reader.  This enabled me to reload Windows 7 on the laptop XPS, probably only because the HARD drive is no longer was considered defective by the BIOS and the relevant files / drivers to access.

  As a precaution, I used the installation backup Dell to save different data files before migrating to the HARD drive in the set of an SSD, I was installing.  Unfortunately, the backup did not work as I hope and proved to be useless to retrieve the data as different files in the backup lacked.  I assume that this is because the HARD drive is faulty (even though I have not checked since I was the system working again, after spending more time than expected as the whole.)  I used the information provided to prepare a Win7 disc should be necessary in the future, thank you.

• I formatted my hard drive and can't find my windows vista installation disc, can I download it?

  x 32-bit

  If your vista is preinstalled and you still have the PK on your COA, borrow from someone different windows vista OEM version.

  If you bought separately (not OEM), then borrow another windows vista RETAIL copy.

  That would be casual piracy but, there is nothing you can do.

  in any case, it won't work if you don't have a genuine microsoft product key.

  If you are unable to activate, call microsoft product activation.

  NOTE: Make sure that you borrow the exact and the same architecture/version/edition.

  for example, the name of the product that is written on your COA is vista Home premium, then borrow OEM de Microsoft windows vista Home premium.

  When all else fails, buy Windows 7.

• Blue screen error CANNOT ACCESS HARD DRIVE SPACE

  Image of the screen available message if necessary. There is no error due to this error code.
  Please help me to solve the problem, and I'll be really thankful to you.
  Kind regards

  First of all, you need not use a setup of Windows 98 to work partition disk before installing Windows XP, Setup of Windows XP has the tools to do this job.

  Windows XP Setup cannot see the hard drive as it doesn't have drivers for the SATA controller on board.  To install Windows XP you must go into the BIOS and put the hard drive in IDE mode you will need to integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation CD, or you need to feed them to the Windows XP Installer with a floppy using the F6 method drive.

  Your new PC does support Windows XP, it has Windows XP drivers available for it?  If this isn't the case, you will have a lot of crying by train to get there.

• just formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded

  I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

  Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

  Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

  If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

• Hard drives will not remain in mode 'sleep'

  For two weeks, something strange happens. My hard drives in sleep mode and out instantly. They will not remain in mode 'sleep'. Any hour of delay, I place, they will behave like this. So even if I place a time to sleep 1 minute, you will hear them go to sleep and instantly out every minute, without interruption. It's used to work perfectly before for months. I have not installed anything again (with the exception of Windows updates). I checked with performance monitor, if something is accessing the disks, but there is no drive activity whatsoever. I also tried to stop the process as much as possible, but that did not help either. The only thing I've changed three weeks ago was my graphics (Radeon 6850 to GTX580) but I'm not sure that the problem started then. Only two weeks ago, I noticed the issue. If anyone else has experienced something like this?

• Portege A100: Change the new HARD disk in slave mode?

  Hello, I have a portege a100 laptop, I want to buy a Dvd for my laptop burner and one in mind, even if I need to put my hard drive in slave mode first, that the dvd drive is set as master.
  My hard drive model is MK1032GAX, could someone tell me that it is possible to do so, before buying the dvd burner to 100%.

  Hello

  To my knowledge it s is not possible. The technology of the laptop is different, and you can't compare it with the desktop PC.
  As far as I know, the settings are fixed and you cannot change it. I think that the HARD disk controller is set master and you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player.
  Player settings are different and the Toshiba service partner can give you more details about compatible CD/DVD players.
