Inspiron 11 3147 cannot detect SSDS in AHCI mode.

Hello.

I bought the new Inspiron 11 3147 (2 in 1 model).  When "SATA Operation" is set to computer laptop AHCI cannot detect the SSD (Intel 530) in the Setup Windows 8.1.

When I change "SATA Operation" to ATA Windows 8.1 can detect SSD in the installer without any problems.

I think that it is the BIOS error. There will be an update? I can't use my SSD now :(

Kind regards.

Resolution is not to use the disks mentioned problems that Dell does not guarantee compatibility.

  • Satellite L300D-11V: can I run SSD in AHCI mode?

    Hello

    I just installed a SSD and Win7 64 bit on a laptop L300D-11V.

    Anyone know if it is possible to run in AHCI mode as I don't see the option in the BIOS?

    I saw there is a BIOS update but if it is not updated to enable the AHCI I would rather not bother...

    Hello

    I assume that it should be possible to use the SSD with AHCI mode.

    The AHCI means that the SSD or HARD disk would go with SATA performance but for that you need to install the SATA driver first.
    If SATA is set in compatible mode, then a SATA driver is not necessary to install the Windows operating system.
    Simply said;
    -n t need SATA drivers in compatibility mode
    -you need SATA drivers in AHCI mode

    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager and you can download this European driver of Toshiba or Intel page

  • Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7?

    Before installing Windows 7, I entered the BIOS and changed my AHCI Mode IDE SDS for a reason any and I forgot to switch back. Now, I want to put in AHCI mode because it says online that AHCI mode could improve SDD/HDD performance considerably, compared to IDE mode. However, if the mode is enabled in AHCI mode, my Windows 7 will not able to start, so I continue to choose the IDE for my SDS mode.

    Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7? Or is it really useful to change the return method? I have no hard drives except an SSD in my computer.

    See how you go with the options below-

    Be sure that set you the BIOS to AHCI again on restart.

  • Dell Inspiron 14r 5420 cannot detect the wireless network card

    I scanned several times but still could not detect any wireless adapter.

    And then I tried to uninstall all the cards and install the last card that I had downloaded from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/ServiceTag/DV1KDT1

    The two of them I tired to install and they have been unzipped successfully, but when I scanned the network adapters in Device Manager, even once, there is no change, all new.

    And I also got this

    When I clicked it, it became like that

    Amicodu,

    Sorry for the delay, got a little because I was absent.

    I don't see your listed wireless adapter. It may have failed or came loose. If you are under warranty, contact Dell Support tech.

    If you are not under warranty, the manual can be found HERE and go to page 45.

  • SSD and AHCI mode

    Hello

    I have a HP HDX 18 1080eg laptop with Windows 8 running. Now, I would like to install an SSD to fix up. I heard that before installing Windows to new SSD, I should change the settings in the BIOS to AHCI on my hard drive. Now, my problem is that I can't find it in the BIOS. Where can it be found and may have changed?

    Hello:

    There is no BIOS settings to change the speed controller in the HP consumer notebooks.  Professional laptops there are select this option.

    I looked at the specs of product for your laptop and I see that it is (or can be) with two hard drives.

    So, we need to understand what is the setting of the default disk controller, which is pretty easy to do.

    I can tell you that it is set to AHCI or RAID (since your PC has two hard disks, it might be on the RAID).

    Here's a simple way to check...

    Go to Device Manager, expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and make a note of the name of speed control.   If the AHCI BIOS of your laptop drive controller value, you will see the name of the variable speed drive listed as an Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

    If you don't see this controller to this article name, the BIOS of your laptop is on RAID.

    You can confirm that glancing down the list topics in device in Device Manager and you will arrive on a section of storage controllers. Click to expand, and you will see the Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller.

    It is my understanding that RAID is roughly the same as AHCI and if you download and install the latest driver Intel RST, that will support the TOPPING of SSD features.

  • Cannot set in AHCI mode for disc SSD NB300

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba NB300 netbook, running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, very happy with it!
    I have a Corsair 3 112 GB Force SSD drive is installed, and everything seems to work fine!

    Read on the SSDS, I see that a better performance for executing the SSD in AHCI mode.
    So I went to menu configuration of startup and changed compatibility in AHCI mode.
    I actually tried a few times, always with the same result, failure!

    When the system is trying to start I get a message saying that there was a problem and that
    the system is trying to gather information.

    The only solution is to go back in the program installation and handed to the compatibility mode.

    The BIOS is up to date, and I just don't see any way to solve the problem.
    I really want to get best performance with this net book as possible.
    I have a screenshot of the details of Speccy SSD drive, but I don't see a way of fixing?

    If anyone can advise me on how to get mounted AHCI mode and go that I would be really grateful!

    Thank you

    Chris

    Unfortunately on this forum we don t have reports on the use of the DSS on NBs I have NB520 and I would use the SSD for, but so far I didn't find the right.

    As far as I know by default BIOS is set to AHCI mode. What operating system you have installed? The original that you got with your laptop or your own version? Have you installed the s Intel Storage Manager of the Toshiba download page?

  • My Aspire V7 582PG cannot detect external monitors

    I recently bought an Aspire V7 582PG, put in a new SSD and then installed Windows 8. The laptop works well, except that it cannot detect external monitors (in Control Panel, I get "Has not detected a different view".) I tried with 2 monitors (different models) that are known to work, via HDMI and VGA.

    I thought it might be a driver problem. Device Manager > 'Graphics cards' show 'Display card base Microsoft' and 'NVidia GEForce GT 750 M. The two drivers are up-to-date. 'Monitors' shows 'generic PnP monitor", which is also updated.

    Then I went to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers to download the driver for my model. The only one who had the relevant air was:

    MonitorELANTECHThe HID monitor drivers1.1.5

    Installer here: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Monitor/Monitor_ELANTECH_1.1.5_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=635...

    But when I unzip and run the Setup window closes a few seconds; I think it hangs, rather than installing correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    My Acer tabs they need additional drivers to recognize the HDMI port.

    I think having unzipped in a directory and open a DOS window with admin rights and run the application inside that. At least if an error occurs, you should be able to see. Sometimes just doubleclicking opens and closes a window so fast that you do not see the error.

    Also in looking at support for a 'ultra' V7, I see several drivers for the chipset VGA and monitor. All may be required for the video display to work.

    You see multiple devices when you press Windows-P?

  • Dell Inspiron 620/Vostro 260 NO Bios for AHCI

    Dell Inspiron 620/Vostro 260 NO Bios for AHCI

    Interestingly, I couldn't even update the bios without the INTEL drivers.

    Check in the Device Manager, the machine uses the ATA drivers not AHCI drivers

    AND will not install the INTEL RST drivers.

    Why is this?

    I tried to upgrade to the version of the Bios A04, but this made no difference.

    I did some research and discovered that the chipset in this system, the H61, simply does not support AHCI or RAID. There is no way to activate for a reason. :(

    Wish I had known this. The value of this system really went down the tube if you intend to launch an SSD in there.

  • Inspiron 11 3147 "plugged in, not charging".

    My Inspiron 11 3147 stopped charging. The adapter seems to work very well even if, after a hiccup when he says "adapter type cannot be determined.

    Steps I took to try to solve this problem:

    -Inspect the connections on the charger, they seem to be good.

    -Inspect the external area of the connection of the charger to the laptop, it seems fine.

    -Go into the BIOS and look for the adapter warnings. None.

    -Go into the BIOS and try all the settings of the charger. Nothing changes.

    -Remove the battery from the Device Manager. Reset. Nothing changes.

    -Uninstall the adapter from the Device Manager. Reset. Nothing changes.

    -Physically, remove and reinstall the battery itself. Nothing changes.

    In the BIOS, it is said that the adapter is 65 W and since there are no more errors on the adapter in addition to one that has popped up in Windows and did not return.

    I think it could be the battery that has just stopped in for a charge. Does anyone have advice?

    First thing to try: a new Dell OEM AC adapter.  If this does not fix it, replace the DC Jack:

    And if that does not solve the problem, replace the motherboard.

  • DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2-in-1 upgrades

    Nice day. I wanted to share my experience with the DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2 in 1 with Intel N3540. I bought the DELL decision-making. Receipt in very good condition. Slight marks pry where the bottom cover had been removed. I liked the form factor, the convertible function, the choice of the processor and suggested the battery life.

    I added,

    SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 250GB,

    Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L Impact computer laptop memory HX316LS9IB/8 GB Black and

    Intel 7265NGW Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + Bluetooth 4.0.

    The tools,

    small Phillips screwdriver,

    nylon spudger levers, to promote the elimination of the lower pane l to facilitate the removal and installation of the 3 elements mentioned.

    Adapter USB 3.0 to 2.5 "SATA III hard drive cable w / UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - hard drive adapter cable

    or

    Case disk 2.5 "SATA 6 GB/brightness with USB cable

    Cloning software (Samsung included migration and optimization of the software). You can download from the Samsung website, or drive transfer included, you will need an external optical drive.

    Samsung software at this point 20/08/2015 can support Windows 10 who I had updated. The migration software would not recognize the Samsung SSD as I tried to clone the SSD drive. I called Samsung Customer Service and the other suggestion is that among the updates of Microsoft or DELL, can hide the USB connection. I used the recovery software to get back the Inspiron 11 3147 to original state of Windows 8.1, (no update) and the software of Samsung acknowledged the SSD. I installed the SSD and the recognized system. I am now in the process of updating Windows.

    I had installed memory, 8GB, and the system has recognized and acknowledged the 8GB.

    I had installed the WiFi card and the system has recognized and acknowledged the new card. The Intel 7265 is slightly wider than the original 1707 of DELL, which is a single channel card and he returned without modification.

    There are other options of brand for replaced parts.

    The main idea is to take your time, the background suppression is not complicated, the pry bar helps not to damage the case which is plastic. Parts of Austin, Texas people have a video on You Tube to remove the back to facilitate the removal and insertion of the HDD/SSD. The battery and the HARD drive screws must be removed to perform the Exchange.

    I will update with new information regarding the replaced elements.

    Hello

    I've updated the 3147 11 for Windows 8.1, all updates, you are prompted for on 21/08/2015. Windows 10 was not an option at the moment. I re-recorded through the icon of the window that appears on the notification at the bottom bar to the right. I added no additional software other than Bitdefender Free Anti Virus and CCleaner. I removed McAfee Livesafe, using the remove McAfee software before I cloned the Samsung SSD.

    Notes on hardware upgrades:

    SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB SSD; The Samsung magician software news. Used space shows 40GB (Windows 8.1) 191GB of free space. Total capacity in the new storage 232.89 GB drive. The SSD is set for maximum Performance. Performance tests show sequential read 283 MB/sec, sequential write 271 MB/s, 27292IOPS and 18419IOPS to write random shuffle.

    The Samsung SSD 850 EVO has the ability to preform better. The Dell system does not support a port SATA 6 GB/s (SATA3). The Samsung said that the SSD is connected to a SATA 3 GB/s (SATA2) port. I ran across this info on the net. Samsung software seems to be in accordance with that.

    At this point, I accepted the results. I don't game or running demanding software that read/write of the highest scores would be beneficial for me. The advantage of using an SSD vs HDD. The SSD has no moving parts that I have to worry that I hold or move the 3147 11. The beginning, opening closing of the application software/is faster than the 5400 RPM HARD disk provided with the 3147 11.

    The memory of 8 GB of Kingston: The Microsoft System info shows GB 8.00 (7.89 GB usable).

    The Intel Dual Band wireless AC 7265: I have not used any test method to determine the actual changes compared to the Reference Dell 1707. It connects and maintains the connection. I use TWC combo phone/TV/internet by modem. The 7260 Intel and wifi 7265 cards were and are used in other DELL products.

    3147 11 Device Manager shows all connections, no problems. I mentioned that when I had updated for Windows 10 with the HDD, I see a problem a device not connected and no driver available. I will look when 10 Windows is installed.
