How to determine if the AHCI or IDE is in use.

Hi, I just recently upgraded my laptop (HP g4-1202ax) an SSD. He is running fast now than before. However, I read on the net that in order for SSD drives in order to fully use I need to put in my Bios from AHCI instead of IDE. I checked if my SSD works on AHCI using AS SSD Benchmark. It shows that I'm with AMD SATA, which im not sure if this is AHCI or IDE.

Could someone tell me if my system is on the AHCI mode because I searched all over the internet on this AMD-SATA and not found a clue.

Thank you and more power to you all!

Computers laptops HP are by default set to AHCI. In fact it has no option to even set it to IDE. Older laptops had the choice - but none of those more recent.

  • HP DX2000 MT, how to change the AHCI to IDE in the BIOS?

    I tried 4 work HARD drive on this machine reloading XP but when I get to the installation, is to show the problem of partitioning in the images below and I can't delete the partitions so I like to check the new BIIOS and I need to change the AHCI to IDE but how do I do this please? I'm not finding anything on the net to change it in the BIOS and looking in the BIOS for this I don't see anything?

    Hello:

    Your model is too old to have the AHCI support.

    There is no setting in the BIOS to change.

    You can try some free software like partition wizard and use it to make a single partition.

  • How can I activate the AHCI on a Studio 540?

    Hello I recently upgraded my pc to an OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB ssd hard drive and moved my old HDD as a secondary for the storage of music, pictures and video files. I read that using the SSD in AHCI mode will further improve the performance of the disk. My question is how can I activate the AHCI in bios dell. the only im options given are SATA and RAID. Is it possible to run AHCI? Any help is appreciated. I have better than average knowledge with pc, s but far from an expert. Thank you

    If your bios allows, you can find passage to the raid (even if you have only a single boot drive) can put you in ahci mode. Before making the change in the bios, you will have to do some registry tweaks like just change the bios setting you will get a bsod when you start.

    To enable switching between RAID/AHCI/IDE mode, you will need to change the values 'Start' in these key 0

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

    Once you make these changes, restart and set AHCI/raid in BIOS, save the changes and then restart.

  • How can I get the amount of free disk space using the space using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How can I get the amount of disk space by using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace I already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a little more in detail, I doubt if you are using the Win32 GetDiskFreeSpace API function (including my previous post is the solution) of the function GetDiskSpace from the Toolbox of the programmer.

    With respect to the other, it works even with capacity greater than 2 GB disks, but you must use the appropriate formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to display the total of free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with the value of 3 GB using UInt64TypeCompareUInt box to tools programming interface.

    How do you install the creative cloud on several computers using the same license?

    Installation on multiple computers can be done independently of the subscription.  You only need the lic3ense when it comes to activation, you have two active facilities (signed in).  Just install the desktop application and use it to install the applications, and then connect to activate.

  • How do to identify the documents called "models of library" using the RESTful API?

    How do to identify the documents called "models of library" using the RESTful API? Furthermore, what constitutes a document to be a "model of library"? I see nothing in the libraryDocuments RESTful documentation that describes this type of document, such as presented on the tab 'Manage' my developer account. Please see the screenshot below. There is a model of Document named "[DEMO ONLY] Test model" listed under "Library Templates" and I try to figure out which classifies that document to be included this way and how does produce a similar announcement by using the RESTful API.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can connect to access library models using the REST API, use 'GET /libraryDocuments' allowing to recover documents in library for a user. Models are created in the account of EchoSign, which later are accessible via the REST method mentioned above.

  • HP Envy 1540T H8: How can I activate the AHCI?

    I installed a new Pro 850 Samsung 1 TB SSD drive which replaced a Samsung 256 GB SSD.  However, I am unable to get the computer to start with I select AHCI mode in the BIOS of the reader.   I can only boot into RAID mode and magician then tells me to activate the AHCI for optimal performance.

    The following system information is provided:

    OS: Windows 8.1 64bits

    Chipset: Intel (R) C600/X 79 series chipset controller LPC - 1 41

    Storage controllers: Intel (r) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller 12.8.2.1000

    RAM: 32 GB

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Mr President.

    Thank you very much!.  I tried to solve this problem for days.  I had already installed a new copy of Windows 8.1, so I've been worreid I need to start over, but I do not have.  All I had to do was follow you to start in safe mode.   I then rebooted in UEFI, changed the RAID on AHCI and disabled Secure Boot.  The system then finished the re-boot and is in AHCI mode.  I have not lost all data on my three internal drives (1 SSD and 2 hard drives).  For some reason, he did reformat a NAS attached, but I don't have something out there that was not saved.

    I really apprecitae your help!

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how can I determine if the user has purchased an article or not?

    Until now, I add to the cart and then allow user to pay for this item through Paypal. But now, my goal is to show all these items that the user has already added, but not bought yet.so, whenever user logs in a/c, he can see the item in my cart.

    Please... help me

    This sounds like a question of PayPal, then you will want to check these forums. If you were using in-app purchases of BB, so yes, it has an API to check the previous in-app purchases.

  • How to determine if the rank of the acquired list focus?

    Hi all

    I have ListField with custom reminder.

    When the user change focus by the movement of the navigation, drawListRow() is called several times - for each focus-changed event.

    How can I determine in the method drawListRow() if current rank on the FOCUS_GAINED event?

    I can do that by following the path:

    public void focusChanged( Field field, int eventType )    {        mIsFocusGained = false;
    
            if( eventType == FOCUS_GAINED )        {            mIsFocusGained = true;        }    }
    
     public void drawListRow( ListField listField, Graphics graphics, int index, int y, int width )    {        int rowHeight = listField.getRowHeight();        int selectedIndex = getSelectedIndex();
    
            if( index == selectedIndex && mIsFocusGained )        {            drawHighlightRegion( graphics, HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS, true, 0, y, width, rowHeight );        }---------
    

    But I can do that directly in drawListRow()?

    Thank you

    I expected allows you to change your listener to update as follows:

    if ( eventType == FOCUS_GAINED )
    {
    mIsFocusGained = true;
    }
    else
    if ( eventType == FOCUS_LOST )
    {
    mIsFocusGained = false;
    }
    

    I think you should ignore FOCUS_CHANGED because the listField stil keep focus in these events.

    I'm not clear on what you mean by that:

    "is that a function is to determine/get current theme ceremony?

    I thought you did that with your FocusChange listener?
