IdeaPad U410, Windows 8.1 x64, UEFI, Intel Smart Response problem

Hi,
My machine was running a Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise on a GPT partitioned HDD UEFI enabled with bios version 65CN21WW.
Intel Smart response and rapid start was running fine with the 32GB Samsung SSD.
After upgraded the bios to version 65CN99WW many weird thing happened:
- the system couldn't start, it tried to repair the system on booting,
- The bios shows the machine as U310 model,
- Even after a fresh install of the windows the machine couldn't start after finishing the install.
I finally got the system working by reseting the RAID and installing the system without acceleration association in UEFI mode. But after enabling the acceleration in the Rapid Storage UI the system starts to failing again and tries to repair the system again and again.
By disabling the UEFI, (setting it to legacy support) the system could start again.
Why cannot the UEFI be enabled? Or what is the correct setup in the BIOS?
Any help appreciated!
Regards,
R.

Why did you upgrade the BIOS?
I'm still keeping the old CN21 and it works perfectly with 8 Gb RAM and the new 512Gb M6 from Plextor, I barely finish typing the logon pass and windows 8.1 screen shows up.

  • SSD Cache Not Working U840 after Clean Install Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello, I completed a clean install of Windows 8 on my ultrabook model U840 (Core i3, 16GB SSD).  I would appreciate any advice to get the SSD to use the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) for SSD Cache.
    I used the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) driver during install and after installing Windows 8 but I do not recieve the option to Accelerate the SSD drive.  I followed the instructions and links contained in this Toshiba Forum post: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=277914
    The computer is supported for Windows 8 upgrade and clean install drivers are available at Toshiba: http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows8/drivers_cae.htm
    The BIOS is set to default for the drives (Performance). Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks.

    I urge you to at least read my post in the other Toshiba forum for a fuller grasp and overview, but I have also attached the two Intel website and PDF links for you.
    Keep in mind that there are seemingly two types or Intel Rapid Cache type options. Follow the instructions in the intel link and one of them will work for you. (I hope it does work for you because i know how frustrating this issue is) 
    Cheers and Best of luck

    hi pixo,
      If you are aiming to Cache the SSD Caching,
    Try it out on a non raid setup and try this step to cache the SSD

  • Intel Smart Response Tecnology is not enabled

    Hi
    I have a notebook HP Envy Spectre 14-3090la. I try to replace the 128GB solid state drive because the original drive is dead. After install the new drive, I try to install the OS from the original USB recovery media, but an error message appears:
    "the intel Smart Response Tecnology is not enabled".
    When I try to verify the new drive from the BIOS, it was no recognized
    Any ideas

    Hi,
    You don't understand. I have ONE new SSD drive, and this drive is not detected neither by BIOS nor HP USB recovery.
    I boot the system with Ubuntu live USB and I can see this drive under linux environment.
    You mentioned both an SSD and mSSD at a point.  Hence, my confusion.
    Did you update your BIOS before swapping the drives?  That is a good step to take before upgrading an SSD.  Here is a link to the latest BIOS.  However, this must be installed from within an installation of Windows.
    Let me know the result.

  • S540 Intel Smart Response Technology / SRT

    Hello,
    I've recently bought a S540 laptop and  I like it very much.
    Recently I have noticed that my 16GB SSD in not used in any way.
    After some digging i realised that S540 is said to be supporting Intel Smart Response Technology.
    I didn't manage to activate it as I didn't find the BIOS Advanced / AHCI -> RAID option.
    So, the question is: did anybody succeed in setting up Intel SRT on s540 ThinkPad?

    Do you already have the ssd? I would suggest trying it and see what happens....
    There is less difference than you would expect from 3gb/s to 6gb/s even with an ssd.
    If you hang out awhile, someone that has tried this may post. Let me know how it turns out either way.

  • T520 and Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello,
    In theory T520 chipset supports the Intel Smart Response Technology. I would like to use Intel 311 20GB SSD on mSATA slot as SSD cache to improve the storage performance. Is this possible with T520 at all? Anybody successfully made it work?

    ThinkPad does not support Intel SRT.  The support is not in the BIOS.

  • How to setup Intel Smart Response

    I've got an MSI B85M-G43 and installed the Super RAID driver.  The Intel Smart Response and Rapid Start buttons are greyed out.  How do I activate them?
    I don't have an SSD installed yet.

    That link assumes Windows7, I assume it supports Windows8 as well.
    I'm thinking of using my 240G ssd as the boot drive. 
    Is it best to use the Smart Responce and Rapid Start features with a separate dedicated SSD?
    My other idea is to get a second 1T drive for RAID mirroring of application and other DATA.

  • JDK 1.4.2 version for Windows Server 2003/x64 on Intel Xeon 64 bit processo

    Hi,
    I'm currently installing a SAP Netweaver Server on a Windows Server 2003/X64 (Intel Xeon CPUs).
    The server requires a JDK 64 bit with minimum version 1.4.2_09. Version 1.5.0_00 and higher are not supported by SAP.
    I have searched on the J2SE 1.4.2 download page and I haven't found any windows 64 bit except for Itanium processors.
    SAP mention clearly on its web portal that it supports Windows Server 2003/X64 64bit with Sun JSE 1.4.2 64 bit.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    adaif

    Hello,
    I ran into the same problem searching for the 1.4.2 JDK for Windows x64 platform and found this discussion post. It was helpful!
    Could you tell me where to download the JCE policy files from? Do they need to match the same JDK version (1.4.2)?
    The Install Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 Java on Windows MS SQL Server says to download the JCE policy files for your platform (Windows x64) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads. But I could only find jce_policy-6.zip. Is that the right JCE policy files for Windows 2003 x64 64bit platform for SUN JSE 1.4.2 64bit?
    Thanks,

  • Ideapad U410 windows 8. one button recovery

    HI,
    I've a IdeaPad U410 that ships with Win 7 and a cool little feature called one button recovery.
    The idea is that when the pc is off, you can hit this button and invoke the recovery partition to reload win 7.
    Having update the PC to Win 8, I would liek to setup the same operation but with win 8.
    Has anyone been succesful with this, how'd you do it?
    I see to steps:
    Setup a Win 8 Recovery partition, which looks harder than it sounds.
    Tell the pc to look at it for the one click recovery.
    Over to the Lenovo masses, your thoughts are most welcome.
    Stan

    Hi Stan,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to inform you that after upgrading the OS (Operating System) from Windows 7 to Windows 8, OKR (One Key Recovery) partition will lose its path with the Software and cannot create the recovery partition for Windows 8 and OKR button will not work as expected.
    Do post us back for further queries.

  • How do I set up Intel Smart Response on my hybrid drive

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I have a 1TB hard drive with a 32 GB SSD used for caching and accelerating using Intel's Smart Response Technology and Rapid Storage Technology console. I had to send in my computer for warranty service that included replacing the hard drive. I appears that the SSD may not have been configured.  Below I have screenshots of the screen that now shows after the POST (that didn't appear before I sent it in for service) and the Intel RST console.
    I'm just trying to get it back to its original settings, where it uses Intel's Smart Response Technology to improve performance.  How should I configure the SSD given what shows in the screenshots below?
    (You might have to right-click on the image and open it in a new tab to see it full size.)
    Since it has come back I get the following screen after the POST.  I am limited to options 3 (resetting to a non-RAID disk) and 6 (exit):

    It is fixed now. To fix it I did a complete backup of my files and settings, then, in the Accelerate window I clicked on Disassociate. I also reset to SSD to available. After rebooting a couple of times, all appears to be normal.

  • Ideapad U410 Windows 8 installation to SSD

    Hello Team,
    I want to Change the installed HDD with a SSD.
    What are the steps i have to do? How can I create a Windows 8-Recovery-USB?
    With the Microsoft Download Software I cant download a recovery Image. I think it is because I have only a Pre-Installed-Windows 8-Key.
    Sorry for my bad english
    Best regards
    Matthias

    What I did is to obtain a copy of the OKR backup files (this is located in a hidden location - run OKR program to determine the location) and my personal files. Then I create the partitions using the EVOZI partition creator program from the EVOZI site. Once the partitions are created I just copy the OKR backup files to the replacement ssd. Press the NOVO button to start the recovery process. After that you can start restoring your personal files.

  • Disable touchpad function keys not working Ideapad u410 Windows 8

    Hi there
    I'm on the verge of returning my new U410 which, despite reviews indicating the contrary, has a very frustrating touchpad that the palm sensitivity adjustor does not fix.  In fact I don't think it adjusts the sensitivity one iota.
    So I've read that Fn+F6 or Fn+F8 should allow me to disable it while I'm writing, but they do nothing.  I'm working in Microsoft Word, if that matters (it shouldn't though, right?).  I'm on Win8, computer is brand new and I installed the latest touchpad driver but must say it never launched or I never saw it launch (I'm not sure it should, or if it should just be in the background).  
    Between that and the worst wireless problems ever, not to mention that the heavier graphics card apparently does nothing to improve video performance, I am tempted to return this.  So frustrating.  Please help if you know about the touchpad though, being able to disable it would go a long way!
    Solved!

    hi bwrightd,
    Regarding your concern:
    1. If you have the same keyboard layout like in this picture (hotkey mode disabled in the BIOS) then you just need to press the key below to enable/disable the touchpad.
    Alternatively, you can also use Touchfreeze to automatically disable the Touchpad while typing. 
    2. For the wireless issue, you may wanna check this thread as other users found it helpful to resolve the issue. 
    3. For the video performance, try the following:
        a. Set the power settings to high performance (Link to picture)
        b. Configure Nvidia Control Panel's "Power management mode" from Adaptive to Maximum Performance - see this guide
        c. Follow this guide on how to add an app to use with the Nvidia Optimus Technology.
    Hope this helps

  • T430 support Intel Smart Response Technology

    Hello everyone,
    I was unable to get this question answered via the Atlanta support center (3 techs and three different answers).  Does the T430 (2344 5PU running BIOS G1ET45WW 1.20) support Inte's SRT?  When I look at the BIOS there is no option for RAID which is required to get this working.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.

  • MSI z68 board and Intel Smart Response

    Hi, I look at the MSI board on NewEgg, and I don't see any specification as they work with  ISR.
    It appears Z68 boards are capable of this technology. The big introduction & push by Intel is supposed to be in conjunction with the budget Larsen Creek SSD's release. The websites like techpowerup & others are loaded with information about ISR. All indications show ISR will definately be provided with Z68 & Panther Point. Would imagine the Intel website has some details since it is their brainchild.
