How To Enable AHCI For Windows 7?

I'm trying to get my Samsung 840 Evo SSD to enable AHCI, but have been reading and it appears to be more difficult than a few simple changes. I have an Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro. How do I get AHCI enabled for Windows 7?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the link. I'm still not sure what needs to be done. I made the changes in 'regedit' like the forum stated, but am still having issues. I will post screenshots below that are showing up. More assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to enable AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook

    Hello,
    I upgraded my hard drive to a SSD and that is done. Laptop works fine.  Installed the Samsung SSD software and it says I need to Enable AHCI to get the SSD running at full potential.
    I searched the BIOS and do not see anyplace to change this.  I then went to the Device Manager in Windows 8.1and I do not see any ATA/SATA controller.  All I see is a RAID controller. RAID controller in a laptop? 
    Can someone tell me how to enable the AHCI?
    Thank you.
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    Because your notebook is a consumer notebook there is no way to change the BIOS setting to AHCI.
    The BIOS is defaulted to RAID on your model series because some models come with one of those hybid drives with a SSD cache and for some technical reason those have to be configured in RAID 0 mode in order for the setup to work right.
    It is my understanding that if you install the latest Intel RST driver, that is supposed to provide TRIM support for SSD's starting with the Intel Series 7 chipset, and yours has the series 8, so it should have full support for using an SSD even in RAID mode.

  • How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

    How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
    My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
    Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
    Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
    Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

  • How to enable SSL for policy service?

    Hi all,
    My application is using SunONE's C API to communicate with the Identity Server.
    In order to enable SSL, I have changed the following lines in amconfig.properties:
    com.sun.am.namingURL = https://id01.core.development.net:443/amserver/namingservice
    com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL = https://id01.core.development.net:443/amserver/UI/Login
    com.sun.am.policy.am.library.loginURL = https://id01.core.development.net:443/amserver/UI/Login
    After operating these changes, everything continued to work fine...but then, I checked with a network sniffer what data is being sent to IS:
    - The login and naming data were over SSL
    - Policy and session items were plain HTTP
    My questions are:
    1. How to enable SSL for policy evaluation requests?
    2. How to enable SSL for sessionservice requests?
    3. What are the changes required on the server/client?
    Many thanks,
    Dan

    how to install itunes for windows server 2003

    Purchased music from the iTUnes store is in a "AAC protected" format. It can only be used in iTUnes. Any music you buy online these days will have some protection on it where you can only use it in there program.
    The way around this is to burn the purchased songs to a CD in iTUnes. Then goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and set your import settings to something like MP3.
    Now put the burned CD back in the PC and "Re"import it into iTunes so its imported in a MP3 format so you can use it in any program. Before importing it tho you need to manually add the name of the song, artist album ect ect

  • Dv6-6135dx - How to Enable AHCI in bios for use in Windows 7 64bit

    I bought the dv6-6135dx notebook some time back.
    I recently got a Solid State Disk and I would like to turn on the Trim, feature.
    To turn Trim on I need to enable AHCI.  There is no such option in bios.  How can I turn AHCI on?
    I found an unlocked version of the bios that turns on apparently disabled menus, but that may or may not corrupt the bios and I'd like to not have to resort to that.

    Hi,
    It's there by default, why do you need to enable it ?

  • How to enable shortcut for menubar in MAC OS, Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.

    Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.
    In Menu bar
    F for File
    E for Edit
    and I for Image
    We can press alt+F to list file menu
    and alt+E to list Edit menu
    Is there any option like this to enable shortcuts for menu bar in "MAC OC"

    The closest I know is assigning "Move focus to the menu bar" in the Preferences a keyboard shortcut and then navigating with the arrow keys (letters may also work to highlight, but not to expand in and of themselves once the focus is on the menu bar).

  • How to enable hibernation in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi 
    I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. I want to enable hibernation on server 2008 R2. I have checked the feature in power options but it dose not show any option for sleep & hibernation. I have tried to enable from command prompt by using powercfg -h on
    but getting error message that this feature is not supported by firmware. I have updated the firmware but still getting same error.
    Also checked with powercfg /energy & getting given below errors.
    Platform Power Management Capabilities:System firmware (BIOS) does not support S3.
    The hardware in this computer does not support the S3 sleep state.
    Platform Power Management Capabilities:System firmware (BIOS) does not support S4 (Hibernate).
    The hardware in this computer does not support the S4 (Hibernate) state.
    Platform Power Management Capabilities:PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) Disabled
    PCI Express Active-State Power Management (ASPM) has been disabled due to a known incompatibility
    with the hardware in this computer.
    Can anyone suggest me how can I enable hibernation on windows server 2008 R2 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I hate to suggest the obvious, but i'd say your hardware does not support sleep or hibernate.

  • Can you enable AHCI in Windows 7 on a MacBook Air 11"?

    i know people have enabled AHCI in MB Pro's. there's a bunch of information regarding that laptop. i've tried to follow those directions but AHCI just won't turn on. i'm wondering if the PCI IDE Controller just doesn't support AHCI or if i'm doing something wrong.
    does anyone have any information regarding this matter?
    thanks in advance.

    Apple uses a proprietary extensions for perfectly standart, even a bit outdated base EFI. Big difference with proprietary efi. Just for you to know - you can grab (opensorced, standart) UEFI, compile it yourself in MS Visual Studio under windows and Apple's extensions will perfectly load into it at runtime.
    I'd recommend you read this:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463525
    exactly pay attention to this:
    * The GUID Partition Table (GPT) was introduced as part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) initiative.
    and than - this:
    Windows XP x64 Edition can use GPT disks for data only.
    The 32-bit version will see only the Protective MBR. The EE partition will not be mounted or otherwise exposed to application software.
    Starting with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, all versions of Windows Server can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on Itanium-based systems.
    Can Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
    Yes, all versions can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems.
    Last one sounds good, yes? Actually no:
    Windows GPT Required Partitions
    EFI System Partition
    What is the Extensible Firmware Interface System Partition (ESP)?
    The ESP contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files… blabla
    Do you really think that NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt are parts of OS-independent UEFI standart?
    Can there be two ESPs on a single disk?
    Such a configuration should not be created and is not supported in Windows.
    So Apple just can not create special win-specific partition for Windows to load directly - it just does not support it
    Microsoft Reserved Partition
    What disks require an MSR?
    Every GPT disk must contain an MSR. The order of partitions on the disk should be ESP (if any), OEM (if any) and MSR followed by primary data partition(s). It is particularly important that the MSR be created before other primary data partitions.
    Do you really think that Microsoft Reserved Partition is a part of OS-independent GUID GPT standart?
    Q.          Who creates the MSR?
    The MSR must be created when disk-partitioning information is first written to the drive. If the manufacturer partitions the disk, the manufacturer must create the MSR at the same time.
    So for windows to boot directly, Apple should themselves create windows non-standard partition on every mac sold.
    And, furthermore, it (Apple) have to install NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt and other MS crap on every mac. Paying license fee for that.
    It's not my fantasies - it's open data from Windows Hardware Developer Center > Learn > Devices > Storage Technologies > Windows and GPT FAQ of MS itself.
    And same story you can find about UEFI support on Windows. Non-standard things required here and there.
    Do you know that Linux can boot on macs directly, as it doesn't require some MSR sh*t and such?
    There are a lot of things to blame Apple, but not this one

    Hi, 
           I'm developing app on Windows 8.1 currently. Can any one please help me with the steps to proceed so that I can create a database using SQLite for windows phone 8.1 through Visual Studio2013.

    Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help

    Based on your issue, if you want to know how to create a database using SQLite, I suggest you can ask this issue directly to the  SQLite official website:
    http://www.sqlite.org/support.html, maybe you will get better support.
    In addition, since the SQLite is a extension tool for the Windows Phone 8.1, so I suggest you can post this case to the SQLite for Windows Phone 8.1:https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b,
