SSD in an HP ENVY DV7 7332ea and activating AHDI in Bios?

Hi
I have a HP Envy DV7 7332ea. I recently put a San Disk Extreme 2 120gb SSD as the primary drive and put the HDD in the secondary bay. I installed Win 8.1 clean and everything works fine. I then worked my through the various tweaks required in the OS for an SSD to maximise its utility such as moving page file to HDD, removing hibernation, switching of restore in control panel and the last one was to change registry settings to enable AHDI and select it in bios. However the Bios F2 for this Envy model has no option for IDE or AHDI. What does this mean and am i actually losing any capability form my SSD if AHDI is not enabled?
ANy thoughts, background information or suggestions welcome

Hi:
The drive contoller in your model may be set to RAID and that can't be changed.
You can confirm that the drive controller is set to RAID if you go to the device manager and see a Storage Controllers category.
Click to expand that category and you will see an Intel SATA RAID controller listed there.
As long as you have installed the Intel RST driver you will have full TRIM support for your SSD in RAID mode and you should ignore any warnings about the drive not running in AHCI mode.
Take a look at this thread for more info...

  • HP Envy DV7 7332ea not recognising second internal drive

    I recently bought this laptop and the first thing I did was swap the 1tb hard drive for a 240gb Samsung 840 SSD drive. The performance increase was astonishing and I'm very happy with it.
    Because the SSD is considerably smaller than the original hard disk, I decided to add another SSD drive (120gb) into the second bay. I ordered the mounting kit and cable and installed the drive.
    When I boot the laptop up, all works well but it refused to acknowledge that the second 120gb drive was installed. It does not display in disk management or device management etc.
    If I connect it via usb the drive shows up - I'm able to partition and format it fine - but whenever its connected in the second bay it just won't appear.
    I tried connecting the original 1tb drive via usb and again that shows up ok. Once I put that in the second bay, it doesn't show up either.
    Next, I disconnected the primary 240gb drive (in bay 1) and started the laptop up using the original 1tb hard disk which was in the second drive bay but which is now connected to the main 'socket' which the 240gb primary ssd has been using. It booted up and worked fine.
    I then unplugged it from the main socket and plugged it into the secondary socket (which drive two is supposed to connect to). It also booted up and worked fine.
    So, I know that:
    (a) both the original 1tb hard disk and the new 120gb SSD drive are working.
    (b) both the primary and secondary 'sockets' for the drive cables are working.
    (c) as soon as I connect any second drive via the secondary socket, once the machine has booted up via the primary socket, no drive is recognised at all. I can't select to partition it, reformat it etc since there is nothing showing it as connected but not available. It just isn't there.
    I can't think of anything else I can try to get it working; does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to get the second drive at least recognised by the system?
    Specs are: Windows 8, HP ENVY dv7-7332ea Notebook PC (D0X36EA), 16bg Ram, Samsung 840 SSD drive (240gb) being used as the boot drive, Samsung 840 (120gb) drive the one which is being installed as a second drive).
    All latest drivers for the Samsung drives installed etc.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    There is no need for two solid state drives on a laptop. I suggest to have the Samsung PRO 240GB as the primary drive and the original 1TB HDD as a data storage in the secondary hdd compartment. The thing is that you need a fast system which is the SSD but data (multimedia, work, anything) is better to store on a common hard drive.
    The other problem with not recognizing a drive in the secondary bay might be related to an issue when the secondary drive has to be added to the system. It means that you will have to delete/format the drive you want to use as the secondary drive with the Samsung and add it to the system using this:

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card with my HP Envy DV7 - 7332EA

    Hi all,
    I was hoping someone on here may be able to answer my question. I recently purchased a refurbished laptop from certain computer retailer, an HP Envy DV7-7332ea, it is an Intel i7, 16GB RAM and was supposed to come with a 2GB Nvidia GT635M. Long story short, said pc retailer did not tell me that the fault/refurbishment was with the graphics card and despite advertising it as being installed with the GT635M, it in fact had a shared Intel graphics card installed. Long story short after some truly horrific customer service - talking to my bedroom wall would have yielded the same level of responses - they have told me that the will not be fitting the correct graphics card - when pressed for an explanation or reason for this they have been unable to give me a technical explanation.
    So, I'm assuming possibly the motherboard has been replaced as well which is preventing the graphics card from being upgraded. Now I realise that there could be numerous reasons this has happened, but I was hoping someone could answer me this.
    Would the artchitecture of my laptop allow for a graphics card upgrade? If the motherboard has problems and these were resolved are the Envy range generally able to be upgraded?
    Thanks guys,

    Hi:
    Unfortunately, the only way to upgrade the graphics adapter is to replace the motherboard with one that has the better nVidia GPU.
    Doing that would cost about as much as buying a new notebook with the graphics solution you wanted in the first place.

  • Envy dv7-7212nr and Windows 7 64Bit

    Just finished downgrading Envy dv7-7212nr from Windows 8 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.  Below is the list of drivers and software paks needed to get everything working.
    Hope this helps any of you having issues with wireless or fingerprint drivers.  All function buttons and on/off buttons working as they should.  You may need additional software if you changed your boot drive to SSD or if you change the wirless card as I did.  Currently running an Intel SSD and Intel 7260 dual band wireless card.
    Caveat:  I have tried every combination of BIOS setting and boot possibilities to try to get Win7 to install in UEFI mode with no luck.  Tried Microsofts boot procedure, rufus installer, installing from DVD, installing from USB.  No luck.  It gets through the boot and at the Windows opening screen with the floating squares merging together, it hangs.  That's as far as it gets.  Only success has been installing in Legacy mode.  If anyone has a solution to this... I would be happy to listen.
    Like I said... running fine in Legacy mode.
    All of these upgrades were run AFTER all updates from Microsoft Windows Update were installed.  You can then look for updates from this point on after doing the below installs.
    All done with a clean install on a bare SSD using the Win7 iso files available from Microsoft web site.
    Anyway... the drivers and sofpac installers below all work:
    Intel Driver Update Utility Installer - avail at Intel site
    Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0.101.255- avail at Intel site
    sp64959 - Intel chipset driver

    Hope this is a help to some of you.  Machine runs great in Legacy mode with Win7 and these installs.
    Again... if anyone has success in installing and setting up in UEFI mode - I sure would appreciate some detailed step by step instructions.
    Thanks again!

  • HDD or SSD not found on Envy dv7

    Hello everyone, I recently had a 'broken' notebook HP Envy DV7-7350eb, which I recently installed a Win 7 pro x64 OS on.After installing some windows updates and all, windows wasn"t able to find a boot device anymore. It doesnt display the DVD drive to boot from when I press the F9 button, but seems to boot from it though..But the HDD won't display on the boot device selection. I've tried to adjust everything in the BIOS (legacy support on/off, secure boot on/off, boot from USB drive instead of win7 installation disc) I've looked up the HP support site for getting the latest BIOS update but can't seem to find a new BIOS update.. Anyone have more suggestions? or where I can download a BIOS update maybe?   Thanks in advance to hopefully help me out here!

  • HP envy dv7 2nd hard drive cable

    Hi all,
    I recently purchased the HP ENVY dv7-7201sa, and was quite disappointed to find out that the 2nd hard drive caddy space did not come with a SATA cable to connect a secondy hard drive.
    I have been unable to locate an appropriate cable, and was wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to purchase one? (I purchased the HP Pavillion version hoping this would fit, but the connction to the motherboard is smaller in the Envy model).
    Really hoping someone would be able to help me.
    Thank you very much

  • HP Envy dv7 - Windows 8.1 upgrade consistently fails

    I have been trying for several weeks to upgrade my Envy dv7 laptop, and after spending several hours it eventually fails, popping up a message about failure 0xC1900101 - 0x40017. I am then forced to wait an extended time for this upgrade process to restore my previous version. As a result of this exercise I lose my laptop for 6-8 hours. Apart from the above message no useful information about exactly what failed is presented, which is infuriating because if I knew what was clobbering the upgrade I might be able to fix it - this laptop is rich with development tools and upgrades which might not be installed on a typical laptop, so I presume one of those might be causing problems. However all service packs and updates have been installed and unless Microsoft tell me what is causing the failure then I have zero chance of upgrading. The upgrade process goes thru a reboot and then a lengthy period with a 'Setting up' message gradually climbing to 100%. The failure occurs late in the process of 'Saving PC configuration'. From the appearance it looks as though the upgrade goes 99% of the way before failing.

    I tried, and once again suffered an epic fail. I just wasted another 5 hours. The upgrade process went all the way through, then a failure was detected on boot up. It tried again, same result, so without giving me any choice it automatically installed my previous operating system. Then on boot up it shoved a big message in my face telling me how sorry they were that the upgrade failed. This is absolutely infuriating. I consider this upgrade process to be a monumental failure by Microsoft. Not because of the failure itself because I can accept things do fail - but of the complete lack of information provided about what caused the failure. Microsoft are not giving me any chance of being able to resolve this issue by understanding what is causing these failures. All I get is unhelpful messages saying FAILED. Why is it so difficult for the upgrade process to record a log file as it goes thru the process? What p's me off is that my Windows 8 continually pesters me to upgrade to Windows 8.1. When I try, it fails- treating me like the village idiot by withholding information about what is causing the failure. I've no idea why Microsoft would want to withhold such information. So far I have tried 3 times to do this upgrade, and probably spent the best part of 24 hours not being able to use my laptop whilst Microsoft's hopeless operating system upgrade fails. I now have a very expensive HP laptop which will shortly become a brick due to my not being able to upgrade the operating system - in due course Microsoft will withdraw support for Windows 8 and I won't be able to do any upgrades. Very unhappy user here.

  • I installed SSD in my brand new HP ENVY dv7

  • ENVY Dv7 dual SSD's win8 sees only drive 0, drive 1 not seen.

    I have an ENVY DV7-7243cl laptop, I replaced the original 1TB HDD with my seagate 750 GB solid state hybrid drive, installed windows, no problems there, however yesterday I installed a second SSD (crucial 512GB). The BIOS sees both drives, but windows only sees the 750GB boot drive, if I put the new SSD on external USB windows sees the drive and allows me to initialize it. I'm not sure why two SSD's won't work together. Is there something missing a driver perhaps etc... I have the latest BIOS version F24

  • Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Hp Envy dv7 dv7-7243cl laptop

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Envy dv7 dv7-7243c laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
    Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the  Motherboard my computer has.
    Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M. 
    So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics? 
    If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
    My laptop is the HP Envy dv7 dv7-7243cl Entertainment Notebook.
    It has an Intel Core i7- 3630QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz, 12 GB memory, 150 GB SSD hard drive, 1 TB hard drive (5400 rpm).
    I am currently running Windows 8.1 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).

    You're very welcome.
    I am not a PC repair tech by trade or training.
    Other than the replacement motherboard, and fan and heatsink combination, I wouldn't know if any other parts are required.
    The parts you need are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual with the part numbers.
    I also don't know if the boards come with the windows 8 product key included in the BIOS.
    There may be multiple motherboards listed, so make sure you get the right one.
    Same for the fan and heatsink.

  • Hp Envy Dv7 Hard Drive Test

    I have bought this Hp computer about 9 to 10 months ago and I have already got an issue with the computer. My computer is a Hp Envy Dv7. I tryed to start up my computer and it went extremely slow. I attempted to log into my account on my computer but nothing would work. I went to go check if any of my parts we failing which one of them is, the hard drive did not pass the "Hard Drive Short Dst Check". It gave me this failure Id: 9TWFTW-6B86R5-QFPK0K-60VU03
    I can't log into my computer, I don't know how to fix this problem please help.

    Hello, i'm owner of a HP Envy DV6 7280SL and, right now, i've encountered a problem with my hdd, it seem to be broken, is divided in two partitions, one containing a windows 7 system, and the other one with windows 8.
    Until now, both partitions had working perfectly but, from this morning, the partition with windows 8 mounted dosen't work. After a check, with the hp application for testing the hardware, the result of the HDD test is : failed.
    It report a failure id : 94LD51-6A06R5-QFPK0K-60TV03.
    Anyway, if i use the other partition ( the one with windows 7 mounted ...) everything is working ... in fact right now i'm using my notebook to write to you this post.
    I've read a lot of posts on this regards and most of them refer a problem that can be solved only changing the HDD.
    Could i solve this problem in another way or the only way is to change the HDD ?
    If the only solution is to change the HDD, i will buy an hdd that can improve the performance of my notebook, any suggestions on this regard ?
    I've give it a look to this : http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=790
    Could you suggest something else avoiding the SSD due to the high price that they have at the moment ?
    Sorry for my english and thanks to anyone that will help me to solve this issue.

  • Envy dv7-7250ew

    Hi everyone.
    I bought a new Envy dv7-7250ew  a month ago and since the weakest link in my machine appears to be the hard drive, I've been thinking about upgrading it to an SSD disc.
    Although my computer has got the space for the second disc, there's no caddy nor Sata cable I could use to mount the second drive (it requires a special HP cable).
    My question is: where can I buy a set of accesories that would allow me to mount second hard drive? I live in Poland and I don't want to order this part oversees, if it's not necessary.
    I'll be grateful for all replies.

    Got the Laptop back from HP "Repair" yesterday. Unfortunately I still have  same problem.  "Computer needs REPAIR." message at boot up.
    TRIED TO RESTORE FROM HP   RESTORE DISKS (4th time) , FAILED.
    So  I INSTALLED  A NEW VERSION OF WINDOS 8 PRO i HAD PURCHASED FOR ANOTHER COMPUTER -  That WORKED.
    BUT NOW i HAVE A DUAL BOOT SYSTEM. WINDOS 8 PRO (THE NEW INSTALL) AND RESTORE,THAT FAILED AND STILL  GIVES THE ERROR MESSAGE IF I SELECT IT AT BOOTUP.
    I GIVE UP. WILL USE AS IS.
