• HP Elite Book 840 g1: change the RAID on AHCI on Elitebook 840 g 1

  I have an Elite book 840 g1. I'm changing to AHCI RAID and cannot get it done. I tried everything on the web regarding the registry settings and changes to the bios. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  Solution to change RAID AHCI on an HP EliteBook 840g 1

  My EliteBook 840 g 1 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I put my software available on a USB stick and this worked great.

  1. back up your PC or important documents.

  2 put the software available on CD/DVD or USB depending on one you plan to use.

  3. close all programs and restart your PC.

  -C' is where it gets difficult.

  4. enter in the Bios by pressing the ESC key

  5. make sure you change your boot order / put USB or CD/DVD first in order - depending on what you are going to use

  6. once in the BIOS go to the 'Advanced tab' and then 'Device Configurations '.

  7. go to RAID/AHCI and switch to AHCI

  8 save the settings and exit.

  -C' is where it gets trickier.

  9. THIS CRITICISM IS - after save and exit the BIOS of the PC will start start - don't let it throw - back in the BIOS before it starts

  10. once in the BIOS, go to the boot options and select the option that you put your software available.

  11. now booting from USB or CD/DVD, you have your software available on

  12. your PC will now go through the re-imaging process and when it's done, you'll be in AHCI.

  13. you can check by going to "Device Manager" > double-click on ' controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI "and below you see"Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller '.

  14. He verifies that you are in AHCI

  15 take advantage of the improved performance

  The extent of the change RAID on AHCI by using registry settings I couldn't get it work. I changed the starting value of several channels (msahci, istorA, istorV, etc.) and couldn't make the change happen. From my experience, I had to reimage my PC for that change to AHCI RAID. If someone has a proven solution, changing to AHCI RAID in registry settings without having to do a reimage would be what they please report them.  Thank you and I hope that all this information is useful.

• Compaq Presario C700 CTO - blue screen drivers/events/mode RAID or AHCI?

  Hello

  I need to know if my PC Compaq Presario C700 CTO Notebook is running in RAID or AHCI mode because of problems with a driver Intel Matrix Storage Manager (IMSM).  The Read Me text file in the menu start > all programs > intel Matrix Storage Manager folder said if my system works in RAID or AHCI mode determines if my computer needs this driver.

  For the past month, my computer stops and restarts with a blue screen and message when the desktop appears as a message. (The blue screen does not last long enough to read.)  The message is always the same except one I had yesterday which is described at the end of this post.

  "Windows has stopped unexpectedly. '.  The details are:

  Signature of the problem:

  Problem with the Intel IMSM driver.

  Intel IMSM driver has stopped working properly.

  Press or click on to download the update on the site of ASUS computer.

  I several times installed upgrading after the blue screen event ever.  The download is an application called V8.9.2.1002_logo_Win7Vista3264.exe.

  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver is not in the list of devices in Device Manager > show hidden devices.  I found information on the HP site indicating how do I know if my computer has the driver, because I thought that maybe it has not been installed correctly.  I found the Intel Matrix Storage Manager program folder in the start menu > new programs.  I can't know what version it is.  Reading tells Me to text file in the folder to open the Device Manager and search for specific controllers SATA RAID and SATA AHCI controllers.  If not in the list then it appears that my OS is not running in two modes.  I can't find these devices in the list, but the Read Me text file advises me to contact the manufacturer in case of doubt.  My warranty has expired, so I'm here asking for help.

  When I use the HP product detection analysis to try to automatically scan for driver updates, it reads my product incorrectly.   Running the tool has sometimes followed by a crash and blue screen.

  I do not remember the changes that I made at the time when the events of the blue screen started to happen.  There was an event yesterday blue screen and the message on the desk said a problem with the HP Recovery Manager and backup.   He advised me to install an update from the HP website.  The link did not open so I downloaded the version 4.0.100.1189sp39296.exe of HP update.  I've also updated my graphics driver.

  I would be grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.   I'm worried about damaging my computer.

  Hello:

  First of all your needs from laptop to have the hardware (CPU and chipset) Intel to run the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

  Your C700 CTO may have either hardware Intel or an AMD/Nvidia chipset so I can't tell you what your laptop has.

  You can tell however, and you can tell what mode of the controller to your PC is currently running (AHCI or RAID).

  If you have PC, go into the Device Manager and if you have a category of an ATA/ATAPI IDE controller based on an Intel processor, click to expand that and if your laptop is running in AHCI mode, the controller will have the AHCI word in the description of the controller.

  If your mobile phone is set to RAID (which I doubt), scroll down further on the Device Manager list, and there would be a category of storage controllers if the command is set to RAID.

  Click to expand, and you would see a description of disk with the word inside RAID controller.

• W540 Option SATA (RAID or AHCI), disappeared after the update of the BIOS to 2.05

• is there an advantage to RAID on AHCI

  In a HP Workstation xw4600 is there an advantage to using the RAID storage option in the BIOS and not AHCI.

  I do not use any RAID configuration.

  The RAID mode is only useful for a RAID configuration. It provides functionality of hotplug, but the disks are treated as IDE disks.

  AHCI mode is the best option for your system, as it enables NCQ and hotplug. Readers are treated as native SATA drives.

  IDE mode is a solution of compatibility for older operating systems that cannot handle the controllers SATA (DOS, Win95/98/ME).

• RAID vs AHCI when installing window?

  If Windows 7 installed in RAID mode, would be AHCI available on BIOS or not?

• Cannot change SATA RAID in AHCI mode in the BIOS.

  Hi, I use Pavilion p6142p Desktop, WIN7, a harddsik.  The SATA BIOS has been set to RAID by the default value of the factory.

  I put two new hard drive in this office, they have different sizes and different rpm speed, I don't want their RAID.  So I tried switch the BIOS SATA AHCI mode, so I can't start the win7, win7 gave me two choices: repair or return, repair is not too.  After I change the BIOS, everything is OK.

  But I have to put all three harddisk in this office. So my question is:

  I use RAID in this PC?

  Do I have to re - install win7?

  ....

  In any case, what should I do?  Thank you.

  d1ad1a,

  RAID will work with unlike devices.  You can always install your new discs and give it a go.

  It seems that the ugly way is going to be your only for the ACHI mode to work. Alternatively, just live with what you have.

• Elite 8300 SFF: want to Samsung SSD AHCI instead of IDE can change?

  Hello

  I replaced my HDD with a SSD, and when I run the Samsung software it say I should use AHCI instead of IDE.
  I found a place (Storage Options) in the bios where I can choose between IDE, RAID and AHCI.
  Is this the right place?

  Can I change IDE to AHCI without damaging my installation of the system in other words will my work PC after that I changed without reinstalling?

• Startup Repair offline, startup guard

  This has happened so many times, got my computer, bought separate parts (custom-made, over £1200) installed windows, everything has worked well until about a month. He projected blue and then my hard drive could not be found, kept saying (the disk name: No. NAME TYPE: NTFS) it is a 1 to WD hard drive. Finally it is fixed by raising constantly.

I stumbed and I have no idea what goes on, anyway, its beginning to annoy me, a computer with all new and new specifications should not do this after a month. And especially should not be late with an i7 processor. Also, I noticed earlier, I keep getting loading screen instead of windows 7, windows vista, even after a fresh install, it still has windows vista startup.

• That means the AHCI Mode, Mode RAID & SATA IDE Mode in the BIOS settings means

  That means the AHCI Mode, Mode RAID & SATA IDE Mode in the BIOS settings means

  My computer is having problems when I bought all first it was from another provider which came as a set overclocked PC up the unit everything needed had to be put in my case & add existing hard drives & DVD etc. readers added on the implementation. I used the same location for more than 10 years before that I always built them myself I can build a good setup computer I correspond to different parts inside each other, and then he tested & sent.
  Unfortunately, the store has closed & the owner is sick cannot get their hands on him more & I had to get some add on things like new SSDS & some other bits in my system & the young boy said he would could do this job, but everything went wrong & I lost all new so I decided to recycle me like I used to do it before windows 7-64 came out I was going through a rough patch with me being paraplegic in any case it is difficult to build a new PC, so I chose this store & their confidence that went wrong now & I've been research & learn to catch up with the new technology, I do what I do anyway.
  Thing is my system is never one that you can purchase a manufacturer & I left it with the young boy & it came out all memory & was not necessary but of course upset of that ruined the setting completely overclocked so I did it myself & I got the work faster than ever, & quieter PC I just got the score that he had now , so I'm happy with it, but the names I came across while overclocking I came across that I'm not average or really lot as were dealing with Fast CrossfireX DDR RAM 1600 MHz.
  Please don't tell me that I should not be messing around with what I made since 1989 & made great strides in how everything works, I am not aware about this sort of thing I know SATA what it is & done, but those responsible for setting came from the part of overclocking in the BIOS I put then correctly , but I wanted to know what they represent in more depth. Thanks to anyone who can put me wise on these 3 points only. Malcolm.

  I'm pretty sure that you are on the wrong "forum" for this type of topic. This forum is designed as a support Pro-type Surface ultrabook/tablets and tablet-like Surface.

  That said,

  AHCI - Advanced Host Controller Interface - this is a hardware mechanism that allows the software to communicate with the devices Serial ATA (SATA). It offers features such as connecting hot and native command queuing (NCQ).

  IDE - Integrated Drive Electronics - IDE is basically the 'old' version of AHCI without connection to hot and NCQ. (It is usually used during the era the Parallel ATA (PATA) hard drives)

  Now. Mode AHCI and IDE mode - what is - this? IDE mode is to give you the greatest compatibility with older operating systems. AHCI is as I mentioned above, a modern version of the IDE - use the AHCI mode if you are running recent operating systems (Windows Vista + and Linux kernel 2.6.19+).) IDE mode will allow you to connect older operating systems with SATA drives.

  As I mentioned above, SATA is Serial ATA and the replacement of hard drives Parallel ATA (PATA).

  RAID - this is a storage technology where combine you multiple disks in a unit of 'single', depending on the mode, there may be RAID-0 and RAID-6 and each with different hard drive configurations. I will explain the simple examples: RAID-0 , which is the distribution but no parity or mirroring, this means that there is no data redundancy, if there is a failure on a disc, it will cause the loss of data on the entire RAID array. Ex: You 0110 as writing the data, 01 goes on disk 1 and 10 goes on disc 2, allowing a faster data read/write access.

  RAID-1- This is the opposite of RAID-0, which is mirrored without interlacing (no parity or the other). Basically, this means that you have an exact clone of disk 1 disk 2 disk 1 failure.

  RAID0 + 1 is that both RAID 1 and 0 is, IE interlacing (write data simultaneously to two [or more]. disks more mirroring failure) the minimum amount of disks required for this type of installation is 4 IDENTICAL drives.

  There is also RAID 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That is just more implemented different configurations of distribution/parity/mirroring on disks.

  That being said, your RAID mode will allow you for some type of RAID configuration, if you choose to do so.

  Supplement: Many SATA controllers can enable AHCI separately or in combination with RAID support. Recommend Intel choose RAID mode on their motherboards, allowing also the AHCI, rather than AHCI/SATA mode for maximum flexibility (in the case that you ever want to build a RAID array), because there are a few problems that occurs, usually BSOD, when you choose a different mode once an operating system is already installed.

• DC 7600SFF - RAID/AHCI support?

  I have 2 HP Compaq dc7600 Base Unit SFF (Small Form Factor) desktop computers.

  Question: Can I / these PC can support RAID/AHCI?

  According to HWInfo32/Piriform Speccy:

  PU700AV

  18/05/05 V01.03 1 786 BIOS

  Intel 954G + ICH7 chipset

  (Edition expansion: Chipset - Intel i945P/PL/G/GZ (Intel 945 G chipset), Southbridge - Intel 82801 GB (ICH7/R))

  If necessary, I can Flash the BIOS with the latest version.

  Included in the process of upgrading these two machines from Vista to Win7 Pro (1 Vista Home Basic, Vista Business 1),

  I plan to spend the only current SATA mechanical HDDs to SSDS - possibly in RAID O and use a scheduled backup of Win7 Pro; the mianboard has 2 SATA ports, DVD will take place over the IDE.

  I will remove the original hard drives and installation/upgrade Win7 Pro to fresh hard/SSD drives; I should rush through this, I can simply re-install the original disks and get them online in the near future.

  Thanks for the pointers.

  Reference: current SATA hard drives are displayed as ATA/ATAPI-7, is it a default / "legacy" translation? vs SATAII?

  Hello:

  There is no drive controller settings you can change on the dc7600.

  There is no BIOS update that will add RAID or AHCI support on the dc7600.

  The first model to offer RAID was the dc7700 and the first to propose THAT RAID/AHCI was the dc7900.

  The chapter of installation in the manual for the dc7700 indicates there are 3 options (AHCI/RAID and IDE), but I have not found a dc7700 who had all 3 parameters.

  I have owned or worked on all models dc7xxx HP released, so I'm very familiar with them.

• 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.

  Upgrade advice will be highly appreciated.
  What is better: to clone the HDD SSD before initial start-up
  Or install Windows8 first, bring a USB recovery set, then make Windows8 recovery after the installation of the Virgin SSD in?
  Thank you for your help in advance.

  Hello

  It uses a single disc HARD must be the AHCI mode:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03846066

  You can configure it as you want, including create whole recovery dics and THEN clone the disk SSD. After that trade them. This will save time and you can be sure that the rollback/uninstallation less pain if necessary.

• Alienware 17 - R3, RAID/AHCI

  Hello

  I noticed in the bios that the original for two HARD drives I have is set to RAID.

  PM951 NVME & Seagate HARD drive

  I'm a little confused, cause I thought that this laptop doesn't have any RAID function, and if she did, why are two hard drives so inconsistent and configured in RAID? If anyone has any information on this, please share, thanks!

  The operating mode default SATA for any type of disk configuration is called "RAID", but this does not automatically mean that your hard disks are in fact in a RAID situation, because it might suggest - it only means that the storage is controlled by "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" (TSRI).

  You can check the status of your two drives by clicking on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" at the bottom of the section "Advanced", which will bring you to a screen where they are listed as "NO physical disks RAID". Here you can select one of them to see more details like the Port, model and serial number, size, status (RAID or NON-RAID) controller (AHCI or NVMe) Type and Controller Interface (SATA or PCIe).

  Since the FIRST includes AHCI drivers both NVMe, you won't have to set up or install drivers specific for disks, regardless of your hardware configuration, now or in the future, as long as you keep the default "RAID" value setting.
