Mode of AHCI BIOS HP Pavilion A6230N

I have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC, model No. A6230N and I am trying to configure the SATA controller to use AHCI instead of (I think) FDI, because I want to install OS X Snow Leopard as a second operating system on the computer, but nowhere in the BIOS is an option for me to change the SATA mode. In respect of SATA controller, I have only options for people with DISABILITIES, 1 SATA and SATA 1 + 2. Is there a way to change the SATA on this PC?

Unfortunately, the Narra2 BIOS motherboard does not have the ability to switch the SATA controller in AHCI mode.

    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.

  • How to enable the AHCI in HP pavilion dv6700t?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it was possible to enable the AHCI on my pavilion dv6700t.  Chipset intel is a much older model, P965 of 2008 but still works fine.

    In Manager devices, under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, he says that the ich8m-e/m sata AHCI is enabled.  It is reasonable to assume that AHCI is therefore already activated? I have no way to do it via the BIOS, which limited configuration options. It's the PhoenixBIOS l58.

    I am considering installing a SSD as my boot (and only) and I read that the AHCI is important for functions such as the NCQ, etc..

    Thanks for your wisdom!

    Jason

    Hi, Jason:

    Yes, that's correct.

    AHCI is enabled by default.

    This is why everyone struggled to install XP on laptops. AHCI drivers must be loaded before installing XP at the prompt F6 or slipstreamed into a copy of the XP Setup disk.

    Now... you can do whatever you want, but I don't know of anyone on this forum who has installed an SSD in any model dv6000/dv9000 Series notebook.

    If you know it's possible, thanks for posting back after installing a SSD and let us know how you did.

  • Cannot find switchable graphics mode in the bios.

    Hello. I have 6b04er for HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. I want to switch to fixed mode in the bios to use only discrete videocard (6750 m). I've updated the latest version of the bios for my device, but I can't yet find "switchable graphics mode" option in the bios. Help, please!
    Thank you.

    Spoody Hello, welcome to the Forums of HP. Your laptop should have an option in the BIOS to set fixed mode. Use this document to refer to the screenshot of the BIOS and let me know if your the same section
    (Skip the link title): OpenGL Applications cannot use discrete GPU

    Here's the switchable graphics overview. See the section "Determine whether your computer has switchable graphics" and let me know if this indicates you have switchable graphics: all of the switchable graphics or dual GPU

  • Pavilion a6230n: How can I get the product code (UPC) for an HP computer?

    Hello, I'm selling an old HP desktop that I hang out on Amazon.

    But in order for me to post on Amazon, I need to create a new list, since nobody else is for sale. To create a new list, I need a product code unique for the desktop computer. I'm looking for the Universal Product Code (UPC). A UPC code is the bar code that would be tested at the point of sale when someone buys something.

    I have a few other computers, I'm trying to sell, and on the site Web of Toshiba, the first manual I opened a laptop shows me the UPC. HP manuals don't.

    I tried to call customer service. And both times I'm hung up or disconnected. It's very frustrating because I have a very basic question, and does not have I gotten a response yet.

    If someone can find the UPC for HP Pavilion a6230n and tell me how to get the Cup for HP products in the future, I would be very happy. Thank you!

    Hello @RYoder15,

    There is not much else I can suggest.  I tried at length to see if I could find anything in what concerns this information without success.  Maybe if you are able to find the product packed in the store?  I was able to find the product on Amazon here: HP Pavilion a6230n desktop PC

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards!

    I had problems with the computer a few weeks ago and had to do a disk/partition Acronis backup restore. Drive C: / (and all my other readers) are working as they should but drive E:/where is the partition installed normal recovery does not restore properly. I recently had another problem and tried to do a restore using the partition HP recovery and got the error messages it is not found? I didn't use the Acronis since the results had already been mentioned.

    HP web site does not list my computer and I think I need to order a set of recovery from my web research disc, but I'm going in circles on the HP web site trying to find out where to order or send an email to technical support. Looks like HP wants just to sell their hardware and then completely dump you after disregarding needs later? I am very frustrated with HP because it seems that if you have not purchased the equipment in the last 90 days you're in their "rearview mirror" when it comes to help?

    I still have to call their phone support since I had 'experience' with their offshore support in the past and would really like to avoid new frustrating experience with the entire HP support system.  Why can't I just ask a question and get a resolution - is it too ask?  Apparently Yes...

    Can anyone help me to get what I need to replace the recovery on my desktop computer partition and get it all working properly again? Thank you in advance for any help that will help solve this problem. Robert

    Well, since the computer came with Vista, then the recovery partition will be of no other value to reinstall Vista, which I assume is not what is wanted.  If the Windows 7 install disk is always available, then reinstall Windows 7 on this disc and new departure.  Was the original Vista 32 bit and the new Windows 7 64-bit, so is not "upgrade was/is possible, but a new install anyway."  As the other 64-bit programs have been added after the upgrade to Windows 7, installers will need to be rerun to get install them after you have reinstalled Windows 64-bit.  Otherwise, the Acronis image can be used.  Unless HP has published this same model computer with Windows 7 64-bit, there is no HP support and hense no recovery partition. Sorry

    Hello

    Here is the HP Recovery Options, also include pressing F11 at startup to start this process.

    "Recover Windows Vista operating system using HP Recovery"

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    If you still have problems with the HP recovery process, you will need to contact the HP support (it's their recovery process).

    You may need to ask them to send you recovery disks.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • I am havaing starting problems and I get a message that "AHCI Bios is not installled." How can I solve this problem?

    My computer turns off often. When the computer reboots, sometimes that it won't, it turns off again undertakes a few freezes on original start page. I'm a mess that indicates the 'AHCI Bios is not installed. A description of this Bios is "AHCI Option Ram Bios Revision 01.03.50."  Repair System reset several times but the problem persists.

    It is probably a problem with a defective hardware, since the PC reboots and freezes.

    Go to start > type in "memory" without the quotes. Choose the option of memory diagnostic when it appears. Choose the option to restart and RAM test now.

  • 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.

  • Pavilion g6-1d21dx: long time driver or BIOS on Pavilion g6-1d21dx number may not resume from sleep mode or Hibernate mode

    When my g6-1d21dx Pavilion was still fairly new, Windows 7 has started to hang whenever I tried to resume from standby or hibernation, and I couldn't get back to work until I held the power button down to force the computer to restart.

    Now, I did a clean install of Windows 32-bit 10, and everything works fine, except for - big surprise - repeated from the previous day and hibernation. Windows 10 adds quick start to the mixture, which also does not work properly, probably because it's a similar feature.

    HP already explained the cause of this problem, or provided a fix? The BIOS I have is F.49, but the projection of BIOS newer on the product page is a F.48. Maybe I need to reduce my BIOS? I saw a post where someone has talked to return to F.46 to fix very similar if not same problem on another model of Pavilion g6. In any case, anyone who is familiar with this issue?

    More details:

    If the quick start is activated, whenever I put him computer have a BSOD and reboot. Usually, the error is unexpected_store_exception but I also had kernel_data_inpage_error a couple of times. The computer appears in the standby mode and Hibernate successfully, but when I try to resume it turns his wheels for a little while and then just restarts, usually without error message. For the moment, I have quick start disabled and sleep and Hibernate in my power options.

    Thanks for any relevant information.

    The solution for me was to install F.46 revision of the BIOS. I got F.49, and the latest version available on the support site is a F.48. I don't know if there is a downside to this...
