Pavilion 15 p204tx: activate the AHCI Mode

• Satellite P100: How to activate the AHCI mode?

  As all you know, some laptops P100 series are equipped with a controller Intel 82801GBM SATA natively supports the AHCI and with a Fujitsu HDD which takes in charge the NCQ.

  However, the disc is forced in compatibility mode, and therefore the NCQ is disabled, resulting in a loss of performance (which is certainly necessary that laptop hard drives are generally slower than those of office).

  Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS which activates the AHCI mode and no tool like HWUtility that can twist that (although it wouldn't work). As far as I know, newer laptops support AHCI mode and there is also an option in the BIOS to enable it.

  Is it possible to activate the AHCI mode in our laptops beloved and make the most of our hard drives?

  Hello

  Do you think that the AHCI is disabled?
  You can run the Intel Chipset ID utility to determine if the ICH7DH SATA controller is already running in AHCI or not.

  However, I studied a little more on other forums that are a little more specific and find this:
  Activate the AHCI on Intel chipsets, without having to reinstall Windows 2000/XP

• activate the AHCI mode on Envy Dv7 - 7398ca with SSD

  Year old i7 envy Dv7 - 7398ca notebook with SSD Samsung 840 Pro x 256.  Windows 8.1

  I've updated to the SSD shortly after I purchsed the laptop.

  No problem except the Samsung SSD Wizard software keeps tagging me as AHCI mode is disabled and must be enabled and I do not see it in the BIOS.

  Or I see anything that relates in the device as IDE Manager or other.

  It seems that the SSD is optimizing not itself based on the fact that it considers that AHCI is disabled.

  I apologize for the issue being this topic seems to be beaten to death over time, but I do not see what relates to this model or similar.

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  The system is set to ahci or RAID mode. You can tell that by opening the Device Manager and look at the storage controllers. Anyway it is optimized for SSDS and TRIM is activated. You can simply remove the program from Samsung and rest assured that your SSD is optimized.

• How to activate the AHCI Mode on an HP Mini Notebook 210-2000?

  I just need to know so that I can install Windows 7 Premium and replace Windows 7 Starter on this subject. I don't see the option anywhere in the BIOS, which is the version InsydeH20 F.13.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello:

  AHCI is enabled by default and the setting can be changed to anything else.

• Why the AHCI mode is disabled in some models of Satellite P200/205?

  Hello.

  My laptop model is Toshiba Satellite P205-S6277 (PSPBGU-00W016B). Chipset Intel 945 PM Express, Intel 82801 GBM (ICH7-M).

  According to the information of the intel.com my laptop processor / chipset are fully compatible with the AHCI mode. But my SATA controller works in IDE compatibility mode and there is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.

  So I have two questions correlated.

  1. why this AHCI mode is completely disabled by the BIOS? Is it possible to activate this mode in future versions of BIOS?

  2 If this mode is completely disabled by the BIOS in the models of laptop of all PSPBG and PSPB0 then why Intel Matrix Storage Manager (driver that improves the functionality of the AHCI mode) is available at downloads driver recommended for these series of laptop on sites European Canadians, Toshiba and even specially for my Toshiba laptop model on the site?

  I already posted the same question to the site we Toshiba but unanswered for a month.
  Maybe there is someone who is able to answer this question?

  >.. There is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.
  How you tried to activate it exactly?
  I have Satellite P200 and the two modes are available. I have model laptop but can not imagine that the AMERICAN models, or models even Canadian work on a different path and BIOS must be the same.

  Toshiba service best place where you should ask for help. Call them and ask for explanations. If you are right and the AHCI mode is unavailable, they know why.
  Over the past 3 years I have worked with 4 different laptop models and all have absolutely identical SATA settings.

• HP Envy 1540T H8: How can I activate the AHCI?

  I installed a new Pro 850 Samsung 1 TB SSD drive which replaced a Samsung 256 GB SSD.  However, I am unable to get the computer to start with I select AHCI mode in the BIOS of the reader.   I can only boot into RAID mode and magician then tells me to activate the AHCI for optimal performance.

  The following system information is provided:

  OS: Windows 8.1 64bits

  Chipset: Intel (R) C600/X 79 series chipset controller LPC - 1 41

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Mr President.

  Thank you very much!.  I tried to solve this problem for days.  I had already installed a new copy of Windows 8.1, so I've been worreid I need to start over, but I do not have.  All I had to do was follow you to start in safe mode.   I then rebooted in UEFI, changed the RAID on AHCI and disabled Secure Boot.  The system then finished the re-boot and is in AHCI mode.  I have not lost all data on my three internal drives (1 SSD and 2 hard drives).  For some reason, he did reformat a NAS attached, but I don't have something out there that was not saved.

  I really apprecitae your help!

  All the best,

• G9 - 791 tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS, killed for laptop

  Since I've upgraded to a SSD, I tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS mode, just like I did with my Alienware laptop.  After changing the setting and restart, I was unable to boot the system (it's ok), but also unable to get into the BIOS to change it back to the RAID.

  Which led me to return the laptop to the place where I bought it and get a new, still under warranty.  Is there a reason any BIOS gets damaged when you change this setting?  I'd like to use the AHCI mode instead, but I can't afford another laptop brick.

  I got it! I actually downloaded and installed the most recent Intel (14.8.XXX), and then changed RST 4 setting in my registry to reflect the changes of the AHCI. Restarted without enabling AHCI in the BIOS, to make the site everything was still good. Perfect. Return restarted to the BIOS and activated ONLY AHCI. Does not all other parameters. Rebooted (twice), and everything works!

• How can I activate the AHCI on a Studio 540?

  Hello I recently upgraded my pc to an OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB ssd hard drive and moved my old HDD as a secondary for the storage of music, pictures and video files. I read that using the SSD in AHCI mode will further improve the performance of the disk. My question is how can I activate the AHCI in bios dell. the only im options given are SATA and RAID. Is it possible to run AHCI? Any help is appreciated. I have better than average knowledge with pc, s but far from an expert. Thank you

  If your bios allows, you can find passage to the raid (even if you have only a single boot drive) can put you in ahci mode. Before making the change in the bios, you will have to do some registry tweaks like just change the bios setting you will get a bsod when you start.

  To enable switching between RAID/AHCI/IDE mode, you will need to change the values 'Start' in these key 0

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

  Once you make these changes, restart and set AHCI/raid in BIOS, save the changes and then restart.

• G62 b31ee I need to activate the ahci on my laptop please help

  Essentially I would like someone to change (or teach me how to change) my BIOS so that I can activate the hidden options and so tell - activate the AHCI.

  Hello:

  There is no way to do what you want.

  AHCI is enabled by default, and there is absolutely no way to change this.

  If you want to install Windows XP, then you should read the guide at the link below, read the Intel section and then read the downloadable document to integrate all drivers.

• HP 8100 - can't activate the draft Mode.

  Hi, I bought a HP 8100 Pro printer a few weeks ago and I can't try to activate the "Draft" mode with it.

  When I try to activate the draft mode I and get an error of type message conflict.

  I am running Windows 7 and the HP is connected via a USB cable.

  Does anyone know what I need to do in order to print in the project?

  Thank you.

  Rick.

  

  Well, I have not installed the software yet, but after looking at your screenshots that I came up with an idea and the bear with me, after all, it's just an idea, it cannot be the solution.

  We will select plain paper, uncheck the Custom box, choose Project then select Custom and check that the paper is still paper, if it is not try it back. Then try to select the quick project in advanced settings.

  I notice that the parameter that you currently have is best, I wonder if it is maybe what is in conflict with the output quality.

  Let me know weather this fixes the problem or not, if not I'll install the software and get this figured out for you.

• 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.

• Activate the VCA Mode of VMware vCenter Server Appliance

  Hello

  I'm pretty new on vSphere.  I have two hosts running esxi 5.1 what one of these hosts running the "VMware vCenter Server Appliance' with vSphere version 5.5.  I currently have a single cluster containing all the VMS as well hosts and the SAN.

  I try to activate the EVC mode, but when I try it tells me that the host is not allowed because there are powered on virtual machines.  I can turn off all the virtual machines except the vCenter device and I still get the problem on the host that has the device on it.  If I turn off the unit, I can't use vSphere to activate CVS.

  How can I activate CVS when vSphere does not work?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  This one is a bit complicated

  You have:

  1. turn off all VMs on Host1 (while vCenter device is on Host2)

  2 bring Host1 on Cluster, select CVS clustered.

  3. put all the virtual machines on Host2 (also vCenter device)

  4. connect on Host2 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  5. remove the vCenter inventory unit

  6. connect on Host1 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  7. the data store when the appliance and add it to the inventory of research. Power on

  8. connect the device with Web client or vSphere vCenter

  9. move the second host in the cluster

  And you're done

• Satellite P300D-130 - activate the AHCI on Windows XP mode

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop and replace Vista by XP to get performance for games.
  I've been reading about SATA (AHCI mode) and WinXP and for the installation, I put the Bios on the compatibility.
  But now I want to install the AHCI drivers but its almost impossible. So please help me!

  My computer:
  Toshiba Satellite P300D-130 (PSPDCE)
  Chipset: AMD 780G
  hard drive: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX
  Southbridge: ATI SB700
  I found a tutorial to install the drivers:
  [http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-enable-ahci-windows-xp/]
  [http://www.tt-hardware.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11513] (in french) that they use the driver intel, very simple, with intel, why not with amd?

  But the big problem is to find the driver: in this forum, I see some post reported the drivers are in the display driver in a folder SBDrv name, but it does not work!

  So I did some research on google, ati and amd Web site and I found some drivers and has tested them without any result: still the same message when I try to update the drivers: "the specified location contains no information about your hardware."

  Here's a screenshot of my hardware:
  [http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hardwarewk7.jpg]

  Thanks (and sorry for my bad English)

  On AMD laptops such as yours, you should display driver.
  The display driver contains the SATA driver to a Windows XP installation on a functional level. The driver, you can also find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  If you downloaded the driver you have two options: you can copy the driver on an external floppy drive and load it after booting from the CD with F6 or you build your own installation with nLite disk: [www.nliteos.com]
  I did good experiences with nLite. It s a nice and easy to use tool.

• Impossible to activate the dark mode in Firefox 39.0 with subject: config.

  Hi CiRiX,
  I understand that you are using a dark theme and have changed the settings in topic: config, that could change how the button toggle works in the themes section for about: addons...

  It is possible to reinstall the extension, or try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox

  I managed to fix it by clicking Activate and then deactivate it on another theme.

  Thanks for your help!
