SSD in AHCI on Pavilion m9350be mode

Hello

I installed an SSD (Samsung 840 EVO) in my Pavilion m9350be. Windows 7 recognized the HD and the drive works normally. Impossible to run in AHCI mode. When I change to AHCI raid in the BIOS, the PC unbootable.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello:

You would need to change the BIOS to AHCI setting and then reinstall the operating system.

I don't know anyway, that you can modify it by adding the driver AHCI RAID mode and then change the setting to AHCI.

You can add the IDE mode AHCI driver, restart and change the setting in the BIOS to AHCI, but not with the RAID.

  • Satellite L300D-11V: can I run SSD in AHCI mode?

    Hello

    I just installed a SSD and Win7 64 bit on a laptop L300D-11V.

    Anyone know if it is possible to run in AHCI mode as I don't see the option in the BIOS?

    I saw there is a BIOS update but if it is not updated to enable the AHCI I would rather not bother...

    Hello

    I assume that it should be possible to use the SSD with AHCI mode.

    The AHCI means that the SSD or HARD disk would go with SATA performance but for that you need to install the SATA driver first.
    If SATA is set in compatible mode, then a SATA driver is not necessary to install the Windows operating system.
    Simply said;
    -n t need SATA drivers in compatibility mode
    -you need SATA drivers in AHCI mode

    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager and you can download this European driver of Toshiba or Intel page

  • Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7?

    Before installing Windows 7, I entered the BIOS and changed my AHCI Mode IDE SDS for a reason any and I forgot to switch back. Now, I want to put in AHCI mode because it says online that AHCI mode could improve SDD/HDD performance considerably, compared to IDE mode. However, if the mode is enabled in AHCI mode, my Windows 7 will not able to start, so I continue to choose the IDE for my SDS mode.

    Is it possible to move my SSD in AHCI mode without having to reinstall Windows 7? Or is it really useful to change the return method? I have no hard drives except an SSD in my computer.

  • Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

    I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

    My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

    I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

    I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
    I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

    I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    If 'Yes'... what could be.

    @Lord_Nikon

    In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

    He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

    One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

    Issues related to the:

    No problem. The SSD to settle and work. However, ask if he will take full advantage of the potential speed of the SSD, which means really wondering if the SATA ports can do SATA-III (600 Mbps) speed of transfer. The used chipset, AMD A70M, is capable of SATA-III and all indications are that your laptop is going to make a transfer SATA-III. Even if not, the difference between a SATA-II and SATA-III is negligible. Using a computer, it's like driving a road course, not the name of Bonneville Salt Flats. Very rarely you hit the upper theoretical transfer speed. In order to do not overthink it just to go and enjoy.

  • SSD and AHCI mode

    Hello

    I have a HP HDX 18 1080eg laptop with Windows 8 running. Now, I would like to install an SSD to fix up. I heard that before installing Windows to new SSD, I should change the settings in the BIOS to AHCI on my hard drive. Now, my problem is that I can't find it in the BIOS. Where can it be found and may have changed?

    Hello:

    There is no BIOS settings to change the speed controller in the HP consumer notebooks.  Professional laptops there are select this option.

    I looked at the specs of product for your laptop and I see that it is (or can be) with two hard drives.

    So, we need to understand what is the setting of the default disk controller, which is pretty easy to do.

    I can tell you that it is set to AHCI or RAID (since your PC has two hard disks, it might be on the RAID).

    Here's a simple way to check...

    Go to Device Manager, expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and make a note of the name of speed control.   If the AHCI BIOS of your laptop drive controller value, you will see the name of the variable speed drive listed as an Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

    If you don't see this controller to this article name, the BIOS of your laptop is on RAID.

    You can confirm that glancing down the list topics in device in Device Manager and you will arrive on a section of storage controllers. Click to expand, and you will see the Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller.

    It is my understanding that RAID is roughly the same as AHCI and if you download and install the latest driver Intel RST, that will support the TOPPING of SSD features.

    I bought the new Inspiron 11 3147 (2 in 1 model).  When "SATA Operation" is set to computer laptop AHCI cannot detect the SSD (Intel 530) in the Setup Windows 8.1.

    When I change "SATA Operation" to ATA Windows 8.1 can detect SSD in the installer without any problems.

    I think that it is the BIOS error. There will be an update? I can't use my SSD now :(

    You can do this easily with the migration software that has perhaps the manufacturer of your SSD.

    Or the migration using Paragon Backup and Recovery Free:

  • Pavilion s3505f: AHCI on Pavilion s3505f

    Hello

    I just replaced the hard drive on my s3505f of Pavilion with an SSD and wanted to activate the AHCI on the computer.  I wasn't able to find a reference on the SATA mode in the BIOS of the PC (Phoenix - AwardBIOS r. 5.23).  Have not been able to find definitive information on the SATA ports to the motherboard Irvine for the PC, but I suspect they are SATA 1 (1.5 Gb/s) instead of SATA 2 (3 Gb/s with the AHCI support).  Transfer rates by an average of 110 MB/s in non-AHCI mode.

    I am aware that the AHCI drivers must be enabled in Vista before a change of SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS.

    No confirmation on the types of port SATA card mother Irvine would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You are the very welcome.

    Yes, AHCI is a subset of RAID in some respect, but not to an SSD work better on a model as old as yours.

    The only time where RAID is as good as that AHCI is if you have a PC with an Intel Series 7 or more recent chipset, which has SSD trim support RAID if you can't change the settings from AHCI storage controller, and you have installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology for this chipset driver.

    The only thing RAID will do to your PC would be to allow for native command queuing, which is ideal for a mechanical hard drive, but a litle on an SSD, since there are no moving parts in SSD.

    Here's the only native made command queues...

    Motherboards are made to HP requirements by the MFR of motherboard.

    If there is no setting in the BIOS to change the setting of the drive controller, then I doubt that it will be possible to do - even with a BIOS update.

  • HP Pavilion 15 not: SSD update for HP Pavilion 15 laptop

    Hello!

    I use PC HP Pavilion 15 Notebok (F6C42PA #ACJ). It came with Win 8.1 pre-installed on a 1 TB HARD drive. I updated the OS to win 10 and now upgrade my HDD to SSD. I was wondering if TS256GSSD370S Transcend and Samsung Evo 850 is compatible with my laptop. Also how to enable AHCI mode? I don't see such an option in the BIOS.

    Thank you.

    15 - n203tx is the model. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    The compartment access hard drive appears on p. 59. As you can see, it's a bit more involved.

    Don't fall into the trap of overthink. The laptop is in ahci mode and you can not set otherwise. With Windows 10 an SSD will be automatically recognized as such and optimized. Your question only real tech is to get the software on the new SSD. After the back if you need some help with that.

    The Samsung Evo 850 is my choice, but the Transcend would work too.

  • Pavilion a6536de: SSD update of my pavilion a6536de

    Hi, I upgraded my desktop pavilion a6536de (ASUS M2N68 - Rev.3.02 Council, name of HP: Narra3-GLBE) with an SSD. But the Board of Directors/Bios do not support AHCI Mode. Is there a BIOS or update driver, as I'm enjoying my new SSD? I can't find a BIOS update or update need driver on your driver support page. Thank you for the help

    HP has their motherboards manufactured to their specifications.  So, no updates to the BIOS of detail from other manufacturers will not work.

    Their policy is to provide BIOS updates when there are a lot of problems with some model.  However, to develop a BIOS update for all the new components that are introduced every day would be a nightmare.  It is a process very involved to update a BIOS or any driver.

    I searched on the net on SSD include slow questions and the only things I found were that I have to activate the option to access HDD AHCI in the BIOS, option that I have not in my BIOS.

    All help aprecciated!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please report the number of HP for the PC product.

    Do you know what level of firmware your Vertex 3 is running?   Firmware version 2.22 is the last.  If your firmware is down 2.06, then you need to upgrade gradually.  I would not be to update the firmware if you decide to return the SSD drive. See my information below.

    I think that the card mother MSI has only SATA I, which is very slow for a VERTEX 3 allowing to operate at full capacity.  Frankly, I'm surprised that the VERTEX 3 works even on a SATA what should I wear as much SATA III SSD will not work on a SATA I port.  Review this OCZ VERTEX 3 document.

    You can see if you can return and exchange for another SSD that is backward compatible with SATA I.  Maybe the Vertex 2 or the agility-2 would be better for your needs.

  • 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.

  • Tecra A9 - compatibility/AHCI in the BIOS mode

    The Toshiba Tecra A9 seems to have a serious lack of implementation of the BIOS: it has an Intel ICH8 - M - SATA controller capable of running in Intels so-called "handset Mode" that allows it to act as a controller SATA AHCI, a normal IDE controller or mix the two for various channels.
    The BIOS allows to adjust it to the "compatibility" - mode that seems to work correctly by running in the IDE for all channels mode, but the mode "AHCI" seems to be set up wrongly. AHCI is a standard for SATA devices that is widely used and the Tecra A9 defines only the hard disk to use SATA AHCI - optical drive CD/DVD-ROM rest in IDE mode which leads to conflicts of pilots as only one driver can access the controller in DMA mode - when the value of both SATA and IDE modes, two drivers are needed for one physical chip.
    'AHCI' in the BIOS must activate the peripheral subject connected to the controller is running in SATA AHCI mode, but as I already said, it is not. Only the hard drive will be displayed as SATA device.

    For me, this looks like a defect in the BIOS that needs to be repaired.

    Best regards
    Peter

    Hello

    I think that it s perhaps a default, but you done already encountered problems with the execution of the "compatibility mode" where the CD/DVD drive (IDE ;)) works in "IDE mode"?

    Do you have a few mistakes or something similar? If so, then it s probably REALLY a bug, but if not, maybe this 'combined mode' (I know what you´re talking about my old 875P Chipset and my ICH5 have the same thing) works correctly.
    In my machine (desktop computer with a DFI Lanparty 875P and northwood at 3 Ghz) runs in the "handset mode" so that everything works to make it compatible in "IDE" mode But I Don t a loss of performance.
    It s not as fast when I drive in pure SATA mode, but then my DVD won't work.

    So, if you have problems with the machine then I agree, otherwise "it s not a bug, it s a feature" ;)
