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 to change the BIOS settings to read the Norton CD?

    You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

    1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

    2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

    3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.

  • HP Probook 440 2 How to change the BIOS to work around the memory not supported the start-up message

    Hi everyone, first I would like to say that I find the list of operating system for the less "interesting".

    Now, I bought a G2 to replace my 4441S.

    The problem is that the momory I had gave me a message as "memory not supported."

    very well, I bought new memory, same problem with 2 brands, so I it's maybe because I bought 'normal' memory and not DDR3l?

    The thing is that I need this memory quickly and I can't find DDR3L, now I use corsair Vengeance and I need more on the lan function but this message that allow me to use the computer if I press on enter, have no countdown with option by default and no BIOS settings so I want to change that and either add a timeout that starts the laptop or just disable this message , because it works, I use it now.

    I need that until I can find the DDR3L.

    Thank you.

    You don't seem to understand how it works with primary and secondary memory voltage settings schedule and bus. the laptop BIOS ROM file includes settings in its encoding of the memory modules that meet the compatibility requirements. If you install memory that has not been tested for compatibility, so it will not work or even it seems to work, it will be unstable.

    A BIOS of the laptop is quite unlike a BIOS that is present in a motherboard level amateur games. There are no timings adjustable and tensions to the timings of the memory or bus in a laptop BIOS BIOS standard voltages. It actually is to protect the owners from themselves.  You "do not 1.5 and 1.35. You can't change the setting of the voltage on the bus to do anything other than what is defined in the BIOS. If you install the module memory does not accept the voltage set by the BIOS code, then you are simply out of luck.

    Check out the BIOS Modding forums if you want to see what options may be made available.

  • How to change the color of pre-rendered screen.

    My question is how to change the color of the page that is displayed before a site is fully charged. So let's say I go to a site where the background color is red. Before the end of Firefox loading it will appear as white. Also yes I have known that I have an add-on which changes the default color of YouTube. However the first picture comes on all websites no matter if their background is white or not.

    You can try the userChrome.css code or elegant.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    browser {background-color:#f0f0f0!important}
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file
