Switch from IDE to AHCI system HDD

• Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS

  Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.

  I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )

  I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976

  I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.

  If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.

  Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.

• Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

  Hello world

  I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

  How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

  How to activate the mode of compensation?

  Thank you.

  Hi Stock4j,

  I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

  To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

  You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

• I think switching from Windows XP to Windows 7, but it seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

  I want to get rid of my security Computer Associates software. It overload my system.

  I believe that a combination of Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials and Web of Trust would do a good job.

  Switching from XP to Windows 7 seems complicated. Is this a good idea?

  I would appreciate any advice. I am a former novice

  Thank you

  Get rid of CA security software and do general maintenance on your system would probably go a long way to improve your computing experience.  See help! My computer is slow!

  Unless you plan to buy a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, make sure that your hardware is compatible with Windows 7 (for the most part, this means that Windows 7 drivers are available; problems are more likely to occur with older laptops).  Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Qosmio G50 change IDE to AHCI controller

  Hello
  I recently bought an SSD
  and the wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  How can I change from AHCI? through the BIOS, I don't see any indication in the BIOS
  I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller

  > wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  May I ask if you are sure that something like this exists? I've never heard any update firmware for the IDE controller.

  Of course, you can update the BIOS and can install the SATA drivers that control the HARD disk controller, but you won't find any update of the firmware.

  > I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  I know such option is available, not for all laptops and it is available only with the Phoenix BIOS.
  The G50 supports Toshiba BIOS and the HARD drive controller is always to SATA (AHCI).
  This means that you can not change it to IDE, and so the performance can be reduced or increased.

  In order to install a new OS, you must eat of storage which includes SATA drivers.

• Can satellite P300 - I switch from 32 to 64-bit Windows?

  Hello
  Soon I'll receive the CD with Windows 7 and the drivers for my laptop (P300-20 b). I warned for Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. And currently I have Vista 32 bit.
  Can I switch to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32? And another question, what is the optimal amount of RAM for 64-bit system? Currently I have 3 GB.

  Thanks for the reply!
  Kind regards
  Gregory.

  Hello Gregory

  Unfortunately, you can't switch from 32 to 64 bits. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do any new installation. Install Vista 64-bit using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
  After doing this update install Win7.

  Optimal RAM? You can use it with current 3 GB, but if possible you can upgrade RAM and more powerful laptop. ;)
  Laptop specifications that your PSPCCE can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Not bad.

• Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Original title: improvement of the operating system.

  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php
