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:

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.

  • Activate the AHCI in Windows 8 / BIOS - HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

    Greetings,

    My computer:

    HP Envy Sleekbook 6 - 1153eo

    Windows 8 Pro

    AHCI is currently disabled on my computer and I want to get the best performance out of it. It can be enabled easily through the windows registry, but to get this to work I need to be sure that the AHCI is currently enabled in the BIOS as well. When I enter the BIOS it's not just all advanced options available, only the time and date and other bases. How can I know weather or not that AHCI is enabled in the BIOS? How can I access the advanced options in the BIOS to turn on the AHCI (if it is not already turned on, that is)?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hello:

    The BIOS of HP notebooks of consumption made in recent years is already set to AHCI, and it cannot be changed to any other setting.

    In some models that offer two hard drives, the default value of the BIOS can be on the RAID.

    Computers to only HP business notebooks have a BIOS setting to change the controller in AHCI or IDE mode.

    Go to Device Manager and expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and you should see a speed control that is listed as a SATA AHCI controller.

    In the case of AMD laptops, it can just be tagged as a SATA controller.

  • Satellite U500 - 11G - cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7

    Really sorry to this topic, but with the new Satellite U500 - 11G can not activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep told by entering the serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate it.

    Any help here please?

    Hi mate

    The Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS has already been activated.

    AFAIK if you upgraded the operating system Vista to Win 7 using the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit then a Win 7 must be already activated and does not need to be enabled separately

  • 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

    and

  • 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.

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Satellite P300D-13 has (PSPDCE) - downgrade to Windows XP SP2 from Prof. - pilot

    Hello, first of all, I come from Germany and I hope you understand my problem...

    I bought last week it really useful for computer laptop Satellite P300D-13 (PSPDCE) and have now a few huge problems...

    I have download all the drivers of P300D Series for Windows XP and also installed the display driver.
    My problem is that the sound is not as good as on Vista. He did not get the right sound for me... Is this a driver problem? But I can listen to the sound...

    Another problem is that Windows XP found SM Bus controller, but cannot find a driver for it.

    I know it was a big mistake not to burn a DVD of VISTA recovery but I have all the files for recovery on a separate disk DVD. If I have the Toshiba recovery software can I make a DVD of recovery with the old files of Vista on Windows XP? If all goes well, there is a solution...

    I don't like Vista, it's like a very expansive toy for me. So I decided to install Windows XP Prof. SP2...

    I hope someone can help me...

    Regarding the noise I suggest you to check the website of conexant for some newer drivers, maybe they could improve the 'sound quality' of your audio output.

    The SM-Bus is part of the ATI chipset and install it that you only have to google for "ATI SMBus" that returns thousands of links to driver ATI SM - Bus.
    With the recovery it s not so easy because the file structure on the recovery partition is not similar to the image of final recovery on the recovery CD.

    I suggest to make a picture of your XP, recover your machine with the recovery of HARD drive, burning media, and then copy the picture from your previous installation of XP on the C: drive. I know it sounds a bit like much work but it s worth. :)

  • Satellite L500 - cannot activate the WLAN on FN + F8

    Hello to all users of Toshiba, Ii'm new to computers laptop Toshiba, this one beeing my 1st and iIhave a well-known problem, I read on the internet.

    I recently bought a Satellite L500-13W. It has Realtek Wifi and comes with Vista OS. I deleted Vista OS since I have the license to the retail of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 top intalled. All work well, Audio, video, everything outside the wireless card. I enabled from the BIOS and everything and yet when I press FN + F8 it does not activate. The drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings the upgrade of drivers. He said that the card works fine, but it does not turn on and search for Wifi signals. The Orange of the WIFI led does illuminate not.

    If anyone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what can be the problem, the software or the hardware.

    Advice me please. Thank you.

    Hi Darius1990,

    > Drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings upgrade drivers
    This means that you have installed the Windows update WIFI driver and no official site of Toshiba, right?
    Well, in this case, I would try the prétestées WLAN driver from Toshiba. So you can make sure that it s not a WLAN driver related problem. Just check the WLAN from Toshiba Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Have you tested other FN keys combination?
    If they don t work too you must install the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because these two tools to control the function FN key and are important to use them correctly.

  • Satellite A200-130: Upgrade the RAM to 4 GB but Vista 32bits see only 3.1 GB

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A200-130 memory 2 * 2 GB and trendy bars, but if I see the size of the total as memory is 4096 MB, on Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit), in the BIOS, I can see only 3.1 GB.

    I checked on the Toshiba site and it states that the laptop can take up to 4096 MB, so can any please tell me how to fix this problem?

    Why 3. 1 GB shows, instead of 4 GB?

    Have you read or heard something about 32-bit limitation of Windows?

    Isn't it?
    Well, I advise to use google and search for it.
    It turns out that all 32-bit Windows operating systems can see only 3 GB of RAM

    In addition, you can find some details in the Microsoft Knowledge base.
