How to activate AHCI mode on dv6-7280eb notebook

Hi
I just replaced my old hard disk for a new Samsung 840 evo SSD.
It's a HP DV6-7280eb notebook with windows 8.1 on it.
Samsungs magician software tells me AHCI is deactivated.
If I look at device manager/storage controllers it says Intel Mobile Express Chipset Sata RAID controller.
PC Wizard 2014 tells me this:
Disk Controller :    Intel 82801HM (ICH8M) 3 port SATA I/O Controller cc=RAID
Mode :    RAID
AHCI :    Yes
IDE Legacy :    Yes
NCQ :    Yes
Port Multiplier :    No
eSATA :    No
IO Ports :    1 available on 6
AHCI Version :    1.30
Bandwidth :    6  Gb/s
So my question, is there any way to put it in AHCI mode and not RAID?
Thx in advance
This question was solved.

No but you do not need to worry about it. RAID is fully compatible with a single SSD drive and will provide all the same benefits for the SSD as AHCI. It is really AHCI RAID hence the AHCI = "yes".

  • Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?

    Hello All,
    Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?
    I have a new Corsair GT SSD sata 3 drive on my mack book, I have read on corsair web page that is good tho activate the AHCI and TRIM but I cant find information about how to do this on OS X.
    Thank you all

    That's information for non-Apple hardware. You can activate TRIM using third-party software: TRIM Enabler 2.2. However, most new SSDs should not need TRIM activated on the Mac.

  • Envy Beats 15-1055se - How to enable AHCI mode for SSD

    How can i enable the AHCI mode for the envy 15-1055se. I tried to find this option in the bios, but its not there. I already installed an SSD and the OS (Windows 7 home Premium). Im using Samsung EVO 250gb.

    That can be done by using Windows  Regedit feature.  It is imperative that you make a copy of the registry before you commit to the change.
    Use regedit with extreme care. All changes that you make take place instantly. That is why it is critial to have made a copy . 
    What is the installed operating system?

  • How to add AHCI mode to insydh bios

    hi guys
    im using hp pavilion g6t 2300 cto notebook 
    my notebook does not have AHCI mode in bios. can any one help me how add AHCI mode to my insydeh bios
    it is too important for me please suggest me some solutions 

    Hi:
    What you want to do cannot be done as the BIOS in that model is set to AHCI by default and cannot be changed by any means.
    When you go into the Windows device manager, click to expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers category and there you will see the name of the sata AHCI controller listed there.
    If the BIOS was not set to AHCI, the controller would have been named differently.
    For your specific model, you should be seeing the Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller listed there.

  • VPN Settings iphone 3G: How to activate "hybrid mode"?

    In the web configuration utility there is an option for "hybrid mode". How can I activate it manually, without using the enterprise deployment? There is no option for this in the CISCO ipsec tab.

    Try these steps...
    -Remove the SIM card.
    -Verify that the SIM card is not damaged or dirty, then reinstall the SIM card.
    -Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    -Wait approximately two minutes, then see if iPhone detects the SIM card and if it will register on the network.
    -If that doesn't work, try another SIM card for that carrier, if possible, to see if it is detected.
    -If the message still exists, please go to: apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ for information on service.

  • Desktop p 6143sc how to get AHCI mode in the BIOS.

    Need AHCI to get better performance on a SSD. I s my computer to old?

    You have the nForce 430 chipset which is a bit of a transitional system. It has SATA ports but the SATA runs in only IDE or RAID mode, not ahci. You can install Windows XP on a machine with that chipset on a SATA hard drive without loading a special SATA driver, for example.  So yes, basically the system is too old to take full advantage of an SSD I am afraid.

  • Equium P200D how to enable SATA mode to AHCI so i can install OSx86

    Hi im trying to install OSx86 on my new Equium P200D-139 laptop that i bought this week.
    I need to set SATA mode to AHCI. All other pc's i have used i have been able to do this in the bios but with this laptop the bios is so cut down the option isnt there.
    Does anyone know how to enable AHCI mode so i can get OSx86 to boot.
    Thanks
    Mark

    If I'm not mistaken, you get the famous "Still waiting for root device" message, right?
    Well, I really do not have many experience in Mac operating systems, but this appears because of SATA drives and yes, you are right, AHCI mode works for most notebooks or desktop PCs.
    I think there is no way to enable this option. But maybe you can find help looking for some instructions on osx86project in google.

  • NB300 unable to set to AHCI mode for SSD drive

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba NB300 netbook, running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, very happy with it!
    I have a Corsair Force 3 112GB SSD drive installed, and everything seems to be running very nicely!
    Reading up on SSD drives I see that for best performance I should be running the SSD in AHCI mode.
    So I went to the Setup menu on start up and changed from Compatibility mode to AHCI.
    I've actually tried this a few times, always with the same result, failure!
    When the system attempts to boot I get a message saying a problem was encountered, and that
    the sytem is trying to gather information.
    The only solution is to go back into setup and reset to Compatibility mode.
    The BIOS is up to date, and I just can't think of any way to resolve the issue.
    I really would like to get the best performance I can on this net book.
    I have a screen grab of the SSD drive details from Speccy, but I can't see a way of attaching it?
    If any one can advise me on how to get AHCI mode up and going I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks
    Chris

    Unfortunately on this forum we dont have reports about SSD usage on NBs. I have NB520 and I would like to use SSD to but until now I didnt find the right one.
    As far as I know by default BIOS is set to AHCI mode. Which OS have you installed? Original one that you got with your notebook or your own version? Have you installed Intels storage manager from Toshiba download page?

How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

  • How to check is my SATA Hard Drive in AHCI Mode?

    Hey all. I'm trying to install Mac OS X (iPC distro), but it can't be done cause it always returns an error: Still missing root device. I've read that my Hard Disk must be set on AHCI mode, but I don't have an idea how to check is it set correctly or not. I didn't find the information about that in BIOS V2.4.
    I'm using  MSI K9N Neo v3 (MS-7369) -> NVIDIA Chipset
    How I can find out that information?

  • 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 ?
    Regards.

  • How to Change to AHCI mode on MSI P965 Neo MB

    I have a P965 Neo MS-7235 (V1.x) Mainboard. My Bios is the Phoenix Award but I am not sure which version as I did not update it since I bought it about 4 years ago. (I will check & update this post if necessary).
    I am not able to change to AHCI mode in the Bios as I am unable to find any options to do this change. My Wind 7 device manager shows Intel ICH8 2 ports serial ATA storage controllers.
    Please advise. Should I update my Bios.? If so, how?
    Thanks in advance.

    The ICH8 chipset used on your mainboard does not support AHCI.  There is nothing that can be done about it.  No BIOS Update will ever change that.

  • Activation of AHCI mode in HP Pavilion 15 p105nr Laptop

    Hello everyone
    I bought a laptop Pavilion p105nr.
    This one is based on AMD platform  - A10 - 5745M, HD8610G, motherboard chipset AMD A76M FCH (likely)
    I have question:
    1) I installed a SSD OCZ ARC 100  to the laptop HP Pavilion 15 p105nr insteed of oprical drive;; GPT Table format.
    2) Perfomance is good, but SSD GURU (application for the SSD) shows that AHCI is not activated; therefor TRIM doesn't work (I' had checked)
    3) UEFI/BIOS version 3.6 American Megatrends doesn't have any options for switching AHCI/IDE/RAID etc.
    4) I had tried to switch with using of safe reboot through cmd (admin mode) - no result
    What recommendation do you have? How can I switch the mode?
    Thank you in advance
    Best Regards.

    Hi there @STANISLAV_
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are looking to activate or switch AHCI mode on your notebook. As you yourself mentioned, the option does not appear in your BIOS version, which is normally where you would make the adjustment, if it is an available option.
    The only possible option would be to try a different compatible BIOS in the hope that the setting is not locked down. However on looking at the support page, for this model currently there are no drivers or BIOS options available. It is possible that the page is currently in the process of being updated, so it may be worth checking another time, so I include a link for the support page below. HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p105nr (ENERGY STAR)
    For now, with what is available, the adjustment you wish to make is not possible.
