• 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:

  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.

• HP t3720: motherboard and ahci mode

  Hello. I need to install a new SSD, but I can't find the ahci mode in the BIOS (I've already put 0 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci\\\)

  The motherboard A8M2N-(NodusM3) support ahci mode?

  Thank you.

  Yes, I see that (I do not understand because this chipset does not support the AHCI), but the controller cannot be changed on AHCI, nor a BIOS update that will change.

  If your PC has a disk RAID controller in the BIOS, which can give you slightly better performance on IDE mode so you can run with active RAID.

  AHCI will simply not happen on your model.

• How to enable AHCI mode on computer laptop dv6-7280eb

  Hello

  I just replaced my old hard drive to a new evo 840 Samsung SSD.

  It's a laptop DV6-7280eb HP with windows 8.1 on it.

  Software Wizard Samsungs tells me that AHCI is disabled.

  If I look at Device Manager storage controllers it says Mobile Intel Express Chipset Sata RAID controller.

  PC Wizard 2014 tells me this:

  Disk controller: Intel 82801HM (ICH8M) 3 port SATA i/o Controller cc = RAID
  Mode: RAID
  AHCI: Yes
  Legacy IDE: Yes
  NCQ: Yes
  Port multiplier: No.
  eSATA: No.
  I/o ports: 1 available on 6
  AHCI Version: 1.30
  Bandwidth: 6 Gb/s

  So is my question, possible to put in AHCI and RAID mode not?

  THX in advance

  No, but you don't need to worry about this. RAID is fully compatible with a single SSD drive and provide the same benefits for the SSD as AHCI. It's really AHCI RAID where the AHCI = "yes".

• AHCI mode default endabled?

  The system is a Pavilion dv7 4285dx.

  I just wanted to get possible confirmation that the AHCI mode is active by default for this model of laptop?

  Unfortunately, there is no option for this in the BIOS (matter of fact, there's really not a lot of options for what IN the BIOS).  After Googling autour, I found more people want to DISABLE AHCI mode rather than ENABLE.  In my case I wanted to make sure AHCI MODE, as I swapped the windows for one SSD and files on the standard HARD drive.

  Thank you

  This is the original factory specifications for your HP Pavilion dv7-4285dx Entertainment Notebook computer. Later model HP portable computers ship with Windows Vista or Windows 7 came with the set of default RAID or SATA AHCI controller. This is probably the case with your computer.

  In general, the only time where you can put the SATA controller in IDE mode is if you install Windows XP as AHCI is not supported under XP by default.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• New SSD shows as disabled AHCI

  Hello

  After an error on one of the disk on my Dell XPS 420 I would replace both drives and RAID O installation.  But a friend gave me a new Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB SSD, so I bought a new 1 to HDD for storage media and use the SSD for windows and programs.  I installed clean the SSD in Port O and started with Vista from Dell to original disk, and then install Windows 7 with upgrade my drive.  (I not yet added to the HARD drive).

  Is now working a bit faster but the software Samsung magician says AHCI is disabled and this affects the performance of the SSD. The only options in the (A07) BIOS for SATA controllers are RAIDAutodetect / ATA or RAID and I have tried both (whenever I changed I had to reinstall Win 7) but speed results are the same and it's still saying AHCI is disabled.  I read many forums to research, that RAID is/active AHCI - is this OK?

  I don't know if I can activate the AHCI somehow the SSD won't work as it should.  The BIOS has no mention of AHCI.  How to activate it? My PC capable to AHCI and if not can I go for it?

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you very much, John.

  Hi John,.

  XPS 420 has no AHCI option in SATA operation and disks cannot operate in ATA mode / RAID.

  If you want to add this feature to your system, replacement motherboard would be necessary. The system is compatible with Intel X 38 Express chipset BTX motherboard.

  You may need to see consistent with AHCI Motherboard upgrade options.

  I hope this helps.

• PowerEdge M620 AHCI

  Hi, I would like to use AHCI for a specific m620 blade, but I have select ahci BIOS and disable the integrated controller (h310) readers are not detected by the server.

  Is there another part that goes into the Groove of raid to have ahci?
  I couldn't find another thing but H310 H710 H710P so I wonder how is SATA AHCI possible?

  Hello

  You can not display using the chipset SATA controller allowing him everything simply. If you were previously using a H310 then the bottom of basket is connected to the H310. Backplane must be connected to the connector on the motherboard for the chipset controller see the SAS/SATA drives.

  In addition, the chipset supports SATA. SAS drives will not work if SAS backplane is connected to the system board. We have a background of SATA basket for the configuration that you try. If your system was ordered with a PERC, there from the SAS backplane. SAS is backward compatible with SATA, so I don't see a reason why backplane SAS would not work. It is not a supported configuration of.

• Intend to upgrade my z620 with a boot SSD disk (and maybe a new series of processors) - advice?

  Much as I love my z620, having a SATA boot drive is painful, once you have become accustomed to instant gratification of SSD.

  I plan to buy an Intel SSD and a stand-alone version of of64-bit Windows 7 to go with it. My plan is to do a clean install of the operating system and applications on the SSD (assuming that I can make it work). Is this what I need to know it's HP Workstation specific in order to complete this upgrade? I guess I need to enable the AHCI in the BIOS (J61 v03.69).

  Another question - I currently have two UC E5-2620 (these are the Xeons V1). I want to upgrade these high V2s of range at some point in the future. I think that systems with older BIOS are not able to upgrade, but I think that my installed BIOS is a newer version (end of autumn, 2013).  I agree that any upgrade would be at my own risk and I would like to get the thoughts of others about the feasibility of this.

  First of all, at this later date of starting block that you provide in your second post it seems that, like you can make v2 upgrades.  There is the old 1 1 most recent trunk block versions of the motherboard Z620 date and you can search in the forum here to say from the BIOS easily if you have the original or revision 1 motherboard.  I think that you already know the answer on that.

  This is important: I hope that you have the original SATA drive it HP supplied with the workstation.  Which is a HP Recovery partition which you can see on disk management in the Device Manager.  This partition, you can create optical disks or even a bootable USB key that will allow you to rebuild from scratch a clone of the W7Pro64 which should / could come from the factory.  Who is a clone facility and has this title the OEM W7Pro64 COST so that it activates.  It's a generic COST.   You don't need to spend 140.00 to get W7Pro64... you have probably already under the terms of your purchase Z620.

  The value of this COST is that you can clean reinstall that way and a clone of your new installation can be imaged and even placed on an another Z620 and it will activate it too (be sure to respect the conditions of use for such things).  Because it's the OEM COA clone in question here you can make clones/backups with ease.

  You can do your own build directly on a new SSD at this "Recovery" approach, and the installer will know what to do.  You should already have your emulation of BIOS SATA RAID value + equivalent AHCI... for sure you want that, to get the benefits that come with the new SSD SATA/readers.  A generation of SSD Z620 we have recently received from HP has a C400 Micron 256 GB SSD from the factory.  I got older versions of HP of this SSD of eBay, made a low level of DBAN reformatting, so a format NTFS (long type) and updated the firmware to the same level as that on this new SSD HP (070 H).  There is a firmware update HP to do this with, which works very well.  You need to do the update with the HP update if it's an HP OEM SSD.

  Finally, there are different converters for the SSD is a form factor 3.5 "2.5".  HP has some devices "slide-in" way too expensive for this ("tool-less"), but I posted here on the HP screw equivalent which has exactly the same interface of BlindMate to sheets of data/SATA power of Z620 than mesh disk drawers with... Search eBay for "hp 2.5 to 3.5" and these work perfectly in the Z620 therefor.»  It is now my favorite device.

  processors v2... I hope that someone else will pay for those.  Not cheap.

• Boot device order

  I was running my brand new HP Pavilion p6270z desktop, pre installed Win7 Home Premium Build 7600 a month now and I really enjoy it.  FYI I also seem to have shipped a SATA RAID (AMD - Compatible AHCI) controller.  I know absolutely nothing about controllers RAID BTW.   My HARD drive is a SCSI Seagate 500 GB ST 3500 418AS.

  Shortly after obtaining my Windows accounts set up and all my security software installed, I sat down and made my HP (3) recovery disks to restore the factory settings.  Also did a C: backup using Windows backup.  Do a repair disc and a system of Coimplete Image using Image of Win7 system functionality.  If at this point, I feel good to be able to get right on the fun part... surfing the net. And it has been good sailboat, I admit it.  Love Win7!

  But... today I went to the configuration of the Bios just to take note of the factory settings and discovered something I found odd.  The Scan shows 1 ST Boot Device boot screen is HP DVD-RAM GH40L.  It shows 2nd Boot device = disk HARD ST3500 418AS.    I noticed a noise from the DVD player to each start upward, but since this is my first comjputer HP, I didn't it was necessarily a problem.  When I saw the Bios boot screen, I see the pc tries to boot from the DVD drive and then past to C: to initialize.  Isn't is supposed to be the other way around?  Technology of factory making my installs SW has failed to hand over to C: before shipping?

  Question: Should I put it to boot C: to avoid problems in the future?   FWIW the pc starts quickly and without error messages either.   Or do I have to follow the old adage: if it ain't broke, leave it alone!

  Question:  If your response indicates that I should put it to start on C:, it basically denies my being able to use all of the repair, recovery and system image disc, I did and I have to make new discs due to the boot order back to C:?

• dc7800 convertible minitower & SSD?

  I'm the proud recipient of a mini-tower that our society surplussed dc7800 convertible.

  It is running Vista Business 32-bit.  Intel Core 2 Duo E6750.

  I'm no expert on the SSD, but everything I read says that the PC must be in mode for one SSD AHCI function properly.

  I downloaded the Service (identified as c01155726.pdf) reference for the dc7800 Guide.  On page 7, he says there are two modes of emulation of SATA: IDE & RAID.  I searched but couldn't find any reference on AHCI.

  Can anyone tell me for sure if my plot to replace the mechanical HARD drive with an SSD is doomed to failure?

  Hey, there, Travis!

  I apologize.  I threw too much info out there all at once, and my lengthy post was not very organized.

  I did get the disks to install 64 bit, but only to the OEM 160 GB of HARD drive.  I then tried the disks in 64-bit on the WD 1 TB on the chance that disconnect the PS/2 devices is finally allowing success, use only not the puny OEM drive.  But that has failed.

  There are a few things we can say with certainty:

  -Passage of the BIOS RAID (mono-disque AHCI) did not cause the Red death (RSOD) screen because I finally got a successful installation even though I had spent IDE RAID.

  -Use of the disks in 64-bit isn't the problem either.

  After that, I can't really say for sure, but it seems to me that:

  -Disconnect the input devices non - OEM PS/2 was not the key to the success because I did it with the OEM 160 GB HDD, and with the 1 TB HDD, but only had success with the 160.

  -The HP recovery disks only works with the drive OEM, or one so similar that they cannot make a difference.  If that's true, it's really lame.

  Anyway, after finally getting Vista installed, I went in the Vista management tools and asked him to shrink the C: drive.  She was ready to reduce the partition to about half the original size.

  Then I started from the Mint 13 64-bit disk and manually configure partitions.  I was a little nervous because recovery HP placed disks a primary partition "HP tools" at the end of the training, so that the currency would be removed between the Vista partition and the partition "HP Tools.

  But it went well.  I get the screen of the GRUB bootloader to start and can go two bones.

  Success at long last or partial success in any case.  I have 64-bit Windows & Linux.  And AHCI, so that the Kingwin KF-253-BK-exchangeable hot rack works.  It would have been great to move the Group towards a bigger drive, but it works.

  Thanks for your help.  I hope that someone will be able to use it.

• Dell XPS 15 (9530) Flawed mSATA Setup

  I've had my new XPS 15 4 days now, and overall, it's a very impressive machine. I got the middle range (with 1 TB of HARD drive). However, I wish to inform the community on certain issues I'm having, and to publicly display this particular machine is available with a wrong setting.

  My model comes with 16 GB of memory system. It has a 32 GB mSATA player intended to be used to start fast Intel and Intel Rapid Storage. The mSATA is partitioned with 8 GB for Intel Rapid Start, and 22 GB for Intel Rapid Storage. However, Intel clearly documents that you need a score equal to the size of the system memory for Intel Quick start working. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.intel.com%2Fsupport%2Fmotherboards%2Fdesktop%2Fsb%2Frapid_start_technology_user_guide_for_uefi1.pdf&ei=m1OHUpzGAdPpkAfE8YGIDg&usg=AFQjCNH7Rh6iQN6hSR0Ry3oBF6kGmxgjaA&sig2=e--yKMT7hoApFUI_7kMyEA This makes sense because what he does is write an image of the system for the SSD memory.

  Therefore, Intel Rapid Start does not work on the XPS 15 9530 midrange... I noticed this because it starts slower than my old laptop Inspiron 15 with its Crucial SSD.

  Unfortunately, we can not solve this problem to repartition the mSATA. If you dedicate 16 GB on the mSATA to start fast Intel, only 14GB remain to Intel Rapid Storage, which requires a minimum of 18.6 GB at work.

  Dell needs to ship this model with a larger mSATA for both technologies work.

  Now I have really no better personally, my intention was to recycle my 512 GB Crucial M4 as boot drive by performing a Windows Installer Cleanup on it. This would allow me to devote the entire mSATA to Intel Quick start. Unfortunately, this system is not delivered with Windows Installer records. And I can't order one like Dell system does not recognize my Service tag. I tried to use the resettlement factory disks I did to reinstall on my SSD, but they won't let me not reinstall it to a smaller drive. I could destroy the partition of 6.96 final recovery, reduce the primary partition, and then clone the disk with Clonezilla, but my intention was to maintain the original drive as backup and the SSD would not align correctly.

  Another issue I had was the McAfee Firewall which is preinstalled prevented me from affecting a second private network. I uninstalled it after failing to find a solution. Windows Defender appears to be adequate antivirus and its much easier to the value of the 2nd private network with Windows Firewall.

  Overall I am very happy with my new computer, but I don't think I'll be really happy until I can go to the SSD. I can solve this problem by ordering a 1 EVO to Samsung of TB, but makes me the high XPS 15 9530 until the price, and I didn't go. And I would always have the alignment problem, if I clone the drive. So I hope that my service tag will be recognized soon allowing me to order the disks to reinstall Windows.

  Well, it took a while, but I solved this problem. And I did it without having to reinstall Windows!

  (1) I disabled caching in the Intel RST utility. I then removed the HARD drive, he and an SSD on a desktop connected and Clonezilla to clone the SSD drive.

  Put the SSD in the XPS 15; boots fine and fast.

  2) switch to AHCI mode (necessary to optimize SSDS and remove Intel RST):

  Open a command prompt and run the following command to enable safe mode start:
  bcdedit/set {current} minimum safeboot
  Restart the computer and start the system BIOS.
  Change the setting from Intel Rapid Storage (RAID) in Mode AHCI ATA drive
  Click Yes to the warning on the change of mode detected on the ATA embedded controller.
  Normally, the system starts in safe mode.
  Open a command prompt and run the following command to remove the safe mode startup option:
  bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
  Restart the computer and boot up normally. You will notice mSATA is not recognized at all.

  (3) recognising the mSATA

  Windows I, open Control Panel, hardware, Device Manager
  Select the IDE controller, controller SATA Intel, update driver software
  Let me pick from a list of device on my computer drivers
  Select the 2nd driver - the Microsoft Intel (r) 8 Series SATA AHCI Controller - 8 03
  Reset. Upon restart, the mSATA will recognize.

  (4) repartition mSATA
  Windows key, diskmgmt.msc. You can now see and delete the Intel Rapid Storage cache partition.
  Windows key, cmd, open as administrator
  DiskPart
  Select disk 1
  Create partition efi size = 16384
  the game ID = D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593
  to exit
  Windows key, diskmgmt.msc. You can now partition the remaining space on mSATA if you wish.

  Now you can completely uninstall Intel Rapid Storage (unnecessary with SSD).
  You can put a bigger mSATA in system and use it for storage. He can probably set up for dual

• the T5500 to an SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I just bought a T5500, he came with the C2 SATA all drives, no RAID, 2 total configuration of the disk and I think that the integrated Intel chipset SATA 3.0 GB/s controller. I would like to improve it with an SSD with SATA 6 Gbps. Reading other forums, I think I need a different controller but that is all I have to do this work. I also saw that I needed to take a few steps in the BIOS and windows 7 to adequately use the SSD as boot drive.  Does anyone have experience with this type of upgrade?  Thanks in advance!

  The Intel SATA controller on the system is blocked to 3.0 GB/s - you can only make it any faster. However, you can get something like this:

  http://www.automatedwebhosting.NET/product_info.php?products_id=117105

  You can use an SSD with this speed. And since it will unload the controller to use a PCI-e card you could leave your RAID in place.

  It doesn't matter if you do or not, you need to set your SATA controller in AHCI mode in the BIOS. I've never had to do it on a T5500 so I can't tell where exactly it would be in the BIOS but it is usually under 'Storage' or 'Storage controllers.'

  Back up your data first course of a RAID on an AHCI (or do both at once) will require you to reinstall Windows. So make sure that you have all copied a safe place off the coast of the Precision Workstation before you do. See updates section to see if your BIOS has an update. Later one for this system was released on 16/05/2011, version A09

  Hope this helps, let us know if you need additional assistance. I want to clarify for the record that I did this upgrade to a T5500 but you have installed SSD on several other Dell systems & some custom systems.

• Precision T3500 recognizes the new HARD drive

  I have a new 4 TB Seagate hard drive that I'm tempted to install than the third HDD on my Dell Precision T3500 system. The BIOS detects the drive fine, but nothing in the operating system (Windows 7 64-bit) find it - no disk, Device Manager or Seagate diagnostic tools management.

  Seagate support said the only thing that might be, is that my fast storage Chipset driver needs to be updated. It's a little out of my depth. I tried searching for a driver updated via the Device Manager, but it says my driver is up to date, but that date is 2010. I downloaded these files:

  INTEL_RAPID-STORAGE-TECHNOLO_A07_R291721. EXE

  SATA_DRVR_WIN_R264763. EXE

  on the site of driver from Dell, but I'm not clear what to do with them.

  SATA Operation should be AHCI and INTEL RST must be 10.1 or higher.  OS must be the 64-bit version, you also need a series of Host Bus Adapter as the Rocket 600.  That's what western Digital uses to resolve these problems.  ACHI HBA is necessary.  The rocket 620 HBA is a solution.

There is ZERO support for it if its does not work.  The INSTALLATION of THIS DRIVER if its does not work can lead to the loss of 100 percent of all data.  Do so at your own RISK.  Installing a version higher than taken chipset support does the same thing.  All data lost RAID restart from zero.

  64 bit OS is required for readers more 2 TB

  INTEL RST over the 10.1 version is required for larger than 2 TB drives

  http://knowledge.Seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/218615en

  Like other types of software, the Intel RST drivers are updated to keep pace with new technologies. Intel drivers, found in versions of the retail of Windows 7 have a limit of 2.2 TB. Rather than cutting capacity to 2.2 TB, the limitation is expressed like the rest above 2.2 to. In other words, the driver causes the windows operating to see a 3 TB drive 746.52 GiB (or 800 GB).

  With OS two 32-bit, the start address of length and partition partition are stored as 32-bit quantities.
  Because the block size is 512 bytes, this means that neither the maximum size of a partition
  Neither the maximum start address (both in bytes) can be greater than 2 ^ 32 × 512 bytes, or 2 TiB

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

  The GUID (GPT) Partition Table has been introduced under the initiative of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). The maximum size of the partition (disc) is a function of the operating system version. The original version of Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have a limit of 2 TB per physical disk, including all partitions. For Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x 64 edition and later versions, the maximum raw score of 18 exabytes may be supported. (Windows file systems are currently limited to 256 terabytes each.)

• Windows 8 - clean install on a Samsung SSD of 840 Evo

  Hello

  I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows 8 on my new Samsung 840 Evo SSD - but when I go through the process of installing Windows 8 will detect not the hard drive - and wonder for drivers?
  I'm not sure what it does cause here I can't find the drivers for this SSD drive
  I read something about changing the settings of my RAID BIOS to AHCI - but not quite sure what that means...
  Hopeing someone can talk me through this

  Hello

  Just a short note to tell you I had this work - I was just using the samsungs migration software - something that I had already tried before but without success - difference this time is that instead of connect the SSD drive via the usb port 3 as they suggest (for the initial migration), I connected directly to the pc.
  So its all working now!
  Bravo and thank you again for your help

• HP Pavilion dv7-6103ei AHCI/RAID?

  Hi all

  Greetings from a poster first.

  I have a Pavilion DV7-6103ei laptop, and it has been modernized with a Samsung PM810/series-470 128 GB SSD with a 1 TB of HARD drive in the second span.

  I'm not necessarily interested in a RAID configuration, but I prefer the disks to run in AHCI mode.  However, I see that the BIOS does not support changing the interface of AHCI.

  I did some research and it seems that these laptops do not support AHCI.  Is this correct?  I'm not able to find information on the RAID, which allows to AHCI when there is no current RAID configuration.

  I have intel that Rapid Storage Technology installed.

  Is my only option to run these HDDs in IDE mode?  Seems a bit primitive for a laptop as powerful.

  If anyone can advise me on a work around or so to be able to operate in AHCI mode, let me know.

  Thank you.

  Greg

  You are the very welcome, Greg.

  Your BIOS of laptop computers is indeed set to AHCI and unfortunately, I do not know why the HARD drive is labeled as a scsi device.

  I guess that's just the Windows name assigned to the drive.  I've seen this before on other PCs.

  You can install the latest driver from Intel's Intel RST and to see if it makes a difference what anyone.

  3rd file listed.  Was also the AHCI drivers too.
