Satellite L40 - changing RAID SATA to IDE SATA

Hello

I tried to change the option on my SATA RAID bios (that I think I have by default) to SATA IDE, but when I go into my bios, I find no option to change this aspect.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 and only Linux UBUNTU 8.10 installed on my computer. I saw messages in the other Foruns where I told me to update my bios but I don't know how to do it under Ubuntu.

Can someone help me with this solution OR give me better to change that?
Thank you

As far as I know, this option does not exist and update of the BIOS will not help at all. The BIOS update does not any additional installation.
BIOS update is only possible under Windows.

Can you please tell me why you want to change this option?

  • How to load the SATA drivers during the installation of XP - Satellite L40-18 X?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite L40-18 X with Vista Home OS. Now, I want to install Windows XP, I know that I have to reinstall the SATA drivers, but I can't find USB-drive floppy-disk drive.

    I was wondering can I install these drivers of some other player, like a flash drive or external CD ROM

    Thanks in advance

    Hello!

    There are two options to load the SATA drivers.

    As you know to load from a floppy drive, but if you n t have one, this isn't a problem.

    Create your own Windows disk with nLite. nLite is a tool of suppression of configuration and Windows components before installation of your choice, but you can also integrate drivers, service packs, the settings and to this day.
    It s a very nice tool and its freeware.
    Here you can download and read how to create a disk:

  • 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.

  • Change the SATA mode in Windows 8

    I'm moving to sata IDE to RAID mode in Windows 8 in order to avoid the re-formatting my hard drive. The solution in Win7 (update registry KEY in regedit does not work). Any advice?

    With all due respect, Srivinvasa Sharath, your answer is very useful.  The question is not ' how can I change the SATA mode in my BIOS?  But, on the contrary, assuming I already know how to change the SATA in my BIOS mode, how Win8 to accept this change and actually start correctly.  There is a guide on how to proceed for Win7, but it doesn't work for Win8.  So we would know what to do differently with Win8 to make it work.

  • Should Satellite Pro M70 driver SATA?

    Satellite Pro M70 must SATA driver for HARD drive?
    If yes where can I find it?

    Hello

    Hmm. Satellite Pro M70 is a bit older, but it supports the SATA HDD controller and usually the SATA drivers should be included.

    As far as I know that Windows XP should include SP2! This is important.
    In addition, you must include the driver AHCI (Intel SATA AHCI Controller V5.1.0.1022) for Win XP.

    Usually, this driver should be required to get the XP working on the M70.
    Just Google for this Intel SATA AHCI Controller driver
    Page Intel should also provide this driver too

    [Edited by: admin on October 1st, 2007 20:12]

    > now, I'm a little stuck. I don't see any other driver available for this chipset on the Intel, other than the chipset driver itself site.

    The audio driver or WLan driver can be downloaded and installed from the device manufacturer's Web site. Check out what his chip and wireless network card is installed in the laptop and download the driver compatible. You can use a freeware like Everest for example hardware diagnostic tool to get information about the material.

  • Satellite L40 - 12 k WinXP - cannot change the brightness of the display

    Got Toshiba Satellite l40 - 12 k laptop.
    Running Windows XP Pro. The problem is that I can not change the brightness of the display even with hotkey utility for Win Vista installed. But if I'm in the bios of these keys work fine. Even when I started these keyboard shortcuts from gParted Live CD worked fine.

    But when I boot Win XP they stop working. So if I want to change the brightness I have to restart or hibernation, the time to change display BRIGHTNESS level because he remembers the last burst upward. So what is the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

    When there will be avaible vor Win XP drivers? OK I understand it's MS that has the problem to a normal BONE, but well guys it is so big problem to run under XP?

    The funny thing is that everything else works fine and all the drivers I needed, I found in the homepage of Intel. So can hope on a support user, because now I know that it is not hardware problem because even a Live CD of gParted worked these keyboard shortcuts?

    PS Sorry for my bad English.

    > So what's the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

    Unfortunately, you are right. The XP is not compatible with the BIOS on the L40.
    Several different sets of Toshiba supports two different BIOS for XP and Vista.

    The Fn keys does not work because the BIOS does not support the XP completely.

    I think that you will not be able to use the FN key pressed until the BIOS and drivers needed for XP will be released.

  • How can I change the sata functions in my bios?

    Hi all, I want to use Killdisk to wipe my drive hard if I can do a clean install of win7. I have a HP Pavilion DV6700 with the version of the BIOS HP F.51. When I try to use the startup disk that I made using a USB usb it works everything simply. I changed the boot order properly and it still does not. As I read forums and support Web sites all day I basically said that I need to change my sata functions from active or disabled or vice versa, I can't remember which. However, when I enter my BIOS there is no area that allows me even of all control over the functions of sata which I understand is security setting (or something like that) used by HP to make sure that people do not FRY their processor by overclocking or whatnot. So the question I have to ask, it's... is there anyway to install (or flash, I think his name) a new BIOS on my computer? Sorry if this has already been resolved or if this is a stupid question I just searched all day for a solution to this problem and I'm kinda a noob. Thank you

    Hello

    I think that CherylG is correct and that your notebook does not support booting from a USB - the simplest solution key would burn Killdisk on a blank CD and from there.

    If necessary, free installation (ie 1 pass to write zeros) is on the link below.
