• 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 event name: BlueScreen

  A solution:

  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.

• I have an iMac, but no other Apple products, and keeping in mind the long list of issues of update for Sierra, is there an advantage to update me?

  I have an iMac, but no other Apple product, and given the long list of problems on the pages of the community regarding the update for Sierra, is there an advantage to update me?

  You won't see anything, but the problems reported here most of the time. This is a support forum. People without problems, much more numerous than those having problems, but they are not seeking this community to report this fact.

  I have updated both my 2014 11 "MBA and my iMac 2011. No real problem. Performance on the iMac has been well below normal after the upgrade, but pretty much a reboot fixed that.

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

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

  W540 20BG001CGE, had 1.05 BIOS and RAID 1 with two 840 Samsung 1 TB EVO works well under Windows 7 - x 64. Do you have one (by lenovo recommended tool update) update BIOS with the Manager to update the bios to 2.05. Update went very well. After the reboot (and load defaults, disabling Intel Rapid Start, boot to BIOS option change the legacy of all first... I recognized the SATA (RAID or AHCI) in BIOS option disappeared. At boot time Intel Matrix Storage Configuration doesnot appear (where you can create RAID etc.).

  Startup then displays message "missing operating system".

  Downgrade BIOS 1.05 impossible, due to ISO file on www.lenovo.com support is not compatible, system message "Lenovo Group Limited - disc system not valid." Replace drive you and then press any key")

  (The link to the ISO file version 1.05 at the bottom of this page of links not a bootable ISO image)

  http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS039078)

  Also the downgrade to BIOS version 1.08 found here http://www.notebook-driver.com/detail/thinkpad-driver-id-22182/ doesnot work CD also messages "Lenovo Group Limited - invalid system disk - replace... »).

  Rewrite of the BIOS version 2.05 (GNET57WW) doesnot work (says "BIOS update is not necessary").

  Anyone has a suggestion of what to try next? Someone has a tip how to recover my RAID controller?

  Thanks and have fun

  
  

• Apart from the scope, is there an advantage between elements of application elements of page zero vs?

  It's the kind of best practices of the question type.

  I understand, the application parts are available throughout the app Page zero points will be available on the pages where page zero is used. But there are basically the same.

  So, outside of the scope, is there an advantage to using application elements vs zero page elements for items that will be used on most of the pages? My use is I have these reference values of almost all the pages and there are some pages that will change the value of this variable. They are not constant.

  Thank you!

  Do you need constants then?  IK them would define as page 0 items that are hidden and cannot be changed otherwise then I would use elements of application to a minimum.  For the most part, I also do not recommend 0 page elements, because they are not passed in and out of shape but are only accessible...

  In a perfect system, you pass in a page, what suits him and, according to the elements of the application and page elements 0 is dangerous in my mind...

  Thank you

• IDE / RAID or AHCI

  I have a m8080a (RQ450AAR #ARG).

  I've now updated the 250 GB Seagate drive to a 1 to Seagate Barracuda 7200.12. I now have a GeForce9500GT and 4 GB of RAM. I always use a slit Personal Media Drive 300 GB and WD Essential 1 TB external backup.

  I now also have a license OEM Windows 7 and installed. Installation was a problem as the DVD drive was not recognized / picked up (?) I changed the drive in AHCI settings in the BIOS.

  Now, I have a system up and running, I am reloading with everything else.

  However,.

   

  What should work drive thid? IDE RAID or AHCI?

  I have no idea this topic (it is feasible to change between them via the BIOS and the default is RAID) even if the PC seems to work on any of them.

  HD bays discussions always seem to go up above the head of the average user so help on a game / BIOS settings which would work better would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Unless you want to set up a Raid array, AHCI is the correct setting for your hard drive.

• About the RAM, I have 32 GB...... is there any advantage to allocate a large amount of this, or is there a limit that really MAKES a DIFFERENCE...?

  About the RAM, I have 32 GB...... is there any advantage to allocate a large amount of this, or is there a limit that really MAKES a DIFFERENCE...?

  @

  It depends on what you are doing and the rest of your system.  Eventually, if you like the video, it will impact.  But for still images, it is unlikely you will come anywhere close to that.  You can check it by placing the bar at the bottom left of the screen to show effectiveness.  As long as you use only RAM it will say 100%.  If you go below, you use your drive to work.  But even in this case, use to scratch a little, if you have an SSD, is not a big deal.

  Even my laptop 8 GB rarely gets bogged down (but I close the old files).  My 16 GB Office doesn't happen nearby.  But I'm not video.

• Advantages disadvantages & RAID and how to assign Qosmio G30 speed

  Hello.

  I heard that the RAID configuration can increase or not the speed... If someone more expert can explain to me how it works?

  1.) first of all what is RAID (explain in words that an ignorant in the calculation as I can uderstand)

  (2.) what is the difference between raid 0 or raid 1 and how it affects the computer?

  (3.) what are the advantages/disadvantages to choose between this two settings?

  Hello

  I m not a guru RAID ;) but I used Qosmio G20 with and without a permit to RAID technology and I have not noticed the disadvantages of speed.

  I see that you are a beginner and so I will try to explain the RAID feature very easily ;)
  What is RAID? RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows to save data.

  The RAID reflected the content of the first HARD drive to the second HARD drive. This means that all the files (depending on the RAID settings) that are stored on the HDD1 is also stored on HDD2. If the HDD1 will damage, you will be able to recover everything from the HDD2 unit.

  The two s of HARD drive can be used with mirror RAID-1 or RAID-0 stripping
  When you use RAID-1, data is stored twice (once on each of the hard disks) so if there are problems with one of the hard drives, the other HARD disk can be used to retrieve the data.
  But you can use only two hard drives as a single HARD drive. (2 disks hard = 1 HDD)

  When you use RAID 0 (stripping) met by the operating system size is two times more!
  Using RAID-0 configuration, all data on both disks will be lost, even if only one of the two disks fails!

  I think that the RAID is very useful because it safes the contents of HARD drive!
  Of course, if you use the mirroring option, you can only use the a HDD available!
  But you are on the site course ;)

• 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.

• I have items 10 and lightroom 3. Is there an advantage to using one another to organize?

  Lightroom 3 and photoshop elements 10 have well-developed organizers plans and associated interfaces. I'm new to both programs and do not know whether to go with one or both and if we - which?  I'm tempted to use lightroom 3 tools and ignore the schema from the elements. Which, on the contrary, would I lose. This topic is discussed anywhere?

  In my opinion, it is never a good reason to use organizer of two programs simultaneously, as this leads to any additional work, confusion and disorganization.

  So, if you have to pick one, I highly recommend using Lightroom as organizer and editor and the PES as Assistant Editor. Lightroom library module is a process much more enjoyable that the editor of PES, has an interface more pleasant and (very important) has fewer bugs.

  What would you lose by select Lightroom3 on PSE10? You'd lose the major bugs in the PSE Organizer. However, you also lose the ability to face tagging in PSE (but even if you want to access the feature, in my opinion it's just not worth because of the advantages of LR in the workflow) and you'd be losing ability to the PSE to make "creations", as the photo albums. And that's it, as far as I know.
