Install the AHCI driver after XP installed for T400

I searched and found different thread on how to install the SATA/AHCI drivers after installation. The thinking seems to be to run the file Install.cmd from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager download. However when I run this file, shut down the computer, change compatibility to AHCI in the BIOS, then try to start Windows, I just get a blue screen at startup no matter what I try. Any thoughts / ideas? And thanks in advance.

Problem solved, Lenovo has posted the wrong link for Intel Matrix storage drivers in the matrix of T400 driver.

Fix the drivers below:

Runs like a champ now.

  • The AHCI driver installation failure

    I have a BIOS Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 (1.0). F9G. When I try to load the AHCI driver for Gigabyte, I downloaded, I get a Setup error failed every time. If I set the BIOS to AHCI or not, the driver has still not install. If I leave the BIOS set to AHCI Windows freezes on-screen swirling of the points and I restart and change back the IDE BIOS. If I go to Device Manager, as suggested in another post, there is no entry for the SATA drivers or controllers even though all three of my drives are connected to the SATA ports on the motherboard. So far, there is nothing that I found that will solve this problem so I can properly configure my Samsung 859 Pro SSD. Suggestions?

    1, after a BIOS update, a shutdown of the pc is preferred. In addition, generally, BIOS settings

    Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

    All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

    I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

    Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

    In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

    My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

    I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

    Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

  • System Restore error: "the changes to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»

    I had some problems with my computer recently I knew could be solved with the system restore.  Then I went into system restore and went to a restore point that was a few weeks back.  After I clicked on it and pressing the ok button, the following message appeared: "the changes made to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»  I let it continue and do the restore.  My computer has rebooted and came up with an error in system restore that says restore failed.  It's the same thing with other restore points.  I don't know why I get this error because I not made any changes to this hard drive except for copy of a document word on him.  I thought that the System Restore monitors removable disks.  Anyone know what is happening here and how I can get the restoration of the system to operate without the mistakes to come?

    I have Norton.  Disable the Tamper Protection works.  I also noticed that since the G: drive was a portable hard drive, System Restore wanted to exercise oversight.  He wants to monitor all hard drives.  Turn on external and portable hard disks prevents tracking system restore changes to the readers.  I don't think anyone would have the system restore review external drives anyway.  It is not necessary.

  • Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) has no install the AHCI Driver

    When I built my current computer system in May 2011, I have not encountered this problem with installing 64-bit Windows 7 Pro on the new 500 GB Western Digital HARD drive.  In fact, I installed Win7 three times (to wipe the drive with DBAN after the first and second installs) before I was satisfied with the third installation.

    Before the first installation, I configured the BIOS of card mother Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 (Maj) SATA AHCI (with SATA 3.0) and copy the driver AHCI of CD Gigabyte on a SanDisk Cruzer USB (4 GB).  The GA-890FXA-UD5 (revision 2.1, version of the F6 BIOS) has an AMD chipset.

    During each installation, the Win7 Installer reported that she could not find a HARD drive and offered the option to load a driver.  I used this option, and the installation program displays a dialog box with whom I sailed the Cruzer to select AHCI driver.  Each time, Setup loaded the driver with success smoothly.  Of course, I still have the installation of Microsoft Windows 7 Pro DVD, purchased with a full license of the retail.

    Example: two years later, after that I started to meet various problems for which I could find no cause, no resolution, I suspected malware or corruption of the registry.  To make a long story short, eventually I decided to erase the internal HARD drive once again, after you save the data files on an external USB HDD.

    Win7 Setup now follows the same routine, of course.  Except that now, it will fail to load the driver AHCI of the SanDisk Cruzer (!).  I've also removed the Win7 installation DVD, loaded the CD Gigabyte, sailed to the driver and selected.  The Win7 Installer is always not load.  In addition, before you run the Win7 Installer for other attempts, I connected the USB HDD external and sailed to a copy archived AHCI driver on it, but Win7 Setup could not load.  I have made many and repeated attempts, with all the storage media at hand, that contains a copy of the driver AHCI files, but not joy.

    For what it's worth, I also ran the software on the repair disk I did shortly after installing Win7 Pro, and he couldn't load the driver AHCI of the SanDisk Cruzer with CD Gigabyte, respectively.

    Then I reconfigured the BIOS of the motherboard to SATA IDE (with SATA 3.0) and rebooted the system.  You might think that Win7 Setup would have a suitable driver for the AMD SATA IDE, since she has one for the reader to optical disc Samsung DVD-Writer (obviously), but it did not find a HARD drive.  Then I sailed in the appropriate driver AMD x 64 on the CD of Gigabyte IDE files, but Setup cannot load it, too.

    Question: why Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Setup does not install the driver AHCI, and what can I do about it?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    AHCI (Advanced Host controller) makes the NCQ (Native Command Files) with connection to warm or hot swapping through host controllers SATA Serial - ATA possible; Vista was the first to offer this feature. The problem with AHCI is that it must be enabled in BIOS before the installation of the OS. After installing the operating system will disable the PC. The reason why Windows disable the AHCI drivers not not needed during installation.

    I suggest you activate the AHCI after installing the operating system if you already enable AHCI in the BIOS, when you installed the operating system.

    6. close the registry editor.
    7. now you will need to reboot the PC and go into the BIOS and enable the AHCI. When Windows starts, it will finish installing the AHCI drivers.
    8. you will need a final restart to complete the process once the drivers are installed.

    Thank you
    I did it but the problem did not solve.my of free disk space is 2.24 GB, it's very weak. I have a question, I saw my C drive, I saw a folder named windows.old, what is? its volume is almost 18 GB. can I remove it?

(I used the computer management/disk management and also Acronis disk Director)

    Windows.Old stores your old Windows installation. You can use it to recover files or reinstall the previous version of Windows. If all your data has been migrated to Windows 8 safely, you can remove:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/how-remove-Windows-old-folder

    This should give you more space.

    If you want to gain extra space, you need to use a third party tool like Easeus

  • Access to the C drive after refresh error

    Yesterday when I booted up my pc, I got an error and it started auto repair. Repair auto falied. My C drive is almost full so I used cmd and free space then did an update of the system. The update went well, but after that whenever I try to access the C drive it says: 'access denied '. Under the name it shows "NTFS". Given that windows 8 has been installed in C itself, now I can't open system tools. Not even the properties of the drive C. I tried 'icacls' and 'takeown' but in vain. I had a lot of important things in the C drive, so it would be a real pain to format. I tried to use Linux to mount the drive, still cannot access it.  PS I want to know there is another way, I can access the files and make a backup of them? Or just to resolve "access denied"? Thank you in advance.

  • Where is the graphics driver in Windows 2000 for Fusion 3.01? Stuck in VGA :(

    People

    I just upgraded from Fusion 2 to 3.

    Overall, it works well except for a Windows 2000 SP4 virtual computer. When I started it OS complained that the VMWare SVGA driver is not compatible. I thought okay - we're going to update VMWare tools. It worked too, but (as usual) I received the message at the end of installation to the effect that the graphics driver must be manually installed. Yet once I went for him... but for the life of me I can't find the CD virtual VMware. Usually it would have been in

    Program File\ VMware-VMware Tools-drivers, but all I can see are SCSI drivers...

    Any help would be most appreciated as I'm not stuck with a VGA screen! http://communities.VMware.com/message/1453346/ !!

    I dcn can't run Windows 2000 on my Mac.    But I run Win2000 VMs VMWare Server and Player.  The video driver installs normally with VMWare Tools in these cases.

    I noticed this on page 24 of the guest operating system guide:

    After you have installed VMware Tools, modify the Windows 2000 screen area to be larger than 640 x 480 pixels; If you do change it, Windows 2000 uses the standard VGA driver, and performance will suffer.

    I would say, try to uninstall tools, restart Windows, and then reinstall the tools.
