I installed Windows 7 on my SOLID 2 Series SSD with it only plugged in during install. I latter added a 1tb Spinpoint F3 hard drive, and velociraptor for programsDespite the bios is in ACHI mode and it says ACHI controller installed I get these two things popping up.Is this normal? Can I change it to ACHI from installing drivers[CODE]
View 3 RepliesI have Windows 7 professional so I can run older programs in the XP emulation mode & it works. Is there a way to install the same printer in the XP emulation mode as well as the normal Windows 7 64 bit mode? I already have a printer installed in the 64 bit mode but can't access it in the emulation mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a friend help install windows, back then I was clueless about the whole deal with achi and ide. A while later, I had to switch hard drives just to run some tests, and the computer wouldnt but, even after putting the original back in.
Turns out BIOS had set itself to ACHI, not allowing windows to boot. Switching it to IDE made it work.
Now I bought an SSD, and its not quite detecting. Im also hearing ACHI is much faster than IDE, so I want to just spend time and switch over.
How would I go about reinstalling windows as ACHI? I have an installation disk and everything. I've already started backing up files to leave the boot disk empty and ready to roll.
I've recently upgraded my computer with an ASUS P6P67 Pro, Intel i5 2500K, Corsair Vengeance 8GB and Corsair TX650 The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.The installation of hardware went fine, I used my WD Raptor 64GB as system drive and connected my 2 other drives.Maxtor 250GB and Samsung Spinpoint 750GB. (they will be replaced eventually)The installation of Windows 7 also went fine, no problems at all. When it was installed I could see all harddrives and I could browse them. But after I installed the drivers from the DVD from Asus and restarted the computer it hangs at the Windows logo waving. It just keeps waving for hours.When I disconnect the Maxtor and Samsung drive, it boot up correctly. I've only tried to connect them to the Intel SATA Controller. I tried to switch between the connectors but it didn't boot up.When the drives where disconnected I could resume the configuration of Win 7 and I ran Windows Update to install SP1 but still the same problem when i tried too connect the drives?I reinstalled 2-3 more times, but no. Then I changed in BIOS from ACHI to IDE on the Intel SATA Controller and reinstalled again and now it works?I updated everything in Windows and restarted it several times and it boot up every time. But I wish to use ACHI, since I'm planning to run RAID 0 I've used the latest chipset drivers from Intel and IRST as well.I need to clarify that the problem begins after the installation of chipset drivers.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWell, I've done a lot of research (googling) on whether or not to install Windows 7 on my solid state drive in AHCI or IDE sata mode. I wanted to confirm it with you guys to make sure I got this straight before I go ahead and install Windows 7.
If I install windows 7 on my solid state drive in sata mode ahci then later I can go to IDE if I wanted to by just switching it in bios. But if I install windows 7 under IDE mode then ill have to do a registry value change to make windows 7 work in ahci mode.
Everyone seems to have a different opinion on whether or not ahci mode is faster or worth it over IDE mode for windows 7 on a SSD. I'm not all that interested in hot swapping so thats not a interesting feature for me. I'm looking for reliability as a top priority.
how to find and change my cd /dvd emulation software settings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan someone hit me with a link for manually installing the AHCI driver and switching the OS mode for the storage controller.
If I remember right, this is just putting the driver in /sys/drivers, running a script, and making a registry change. Then you reboot, change the motherboard setting, and then install IMSM after the OS comes back up. I don't remember the script, or if it was just a reg edit, etc.
Whenever I put my laptop (with Windows 7) in sleep mode and wake it up, a very small white square appears in the upper left of the desktop. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? It doesn't seem to affect functionality, but it's a tad annoying.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my dad's computer already setup with Windows 7. For some odd reason being that there is only one drive in the computer. the computer's bios is set to RAID. I know you need at least two drives to perform any RAID functions. When I tried to switch over the SATA drives in the BIOS from RAID to ACHI, windows failed to start. Is there some proceedure first that I need to do before I switch them? Like a driver or does the hard drives have to be switched on a clean install of windows?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm making a post as a W7x64 install is driving me nuts. During Windows 7 setup, at the F6 prompt, I've loaded the drivers for the Southbridge to enable SATA hotswapping and NCQ'ability.
When I set the BIOS to ACHI mode the Windows 7 installation fails to complete, during the first reboot within setup Windows 7 will report a hardware fault and refuses to reboot.
When I set the BIOS to IDE mode the installation goes fine, but there's no sign of hotswap or NCQ onboard.
All my SATA drives are in SATA-II mode (Barracudas, 1x 80Gb boot, 2x 1Tb archivage, 1x 500Gb misc') so this isn't the cause, and they're all connected to the orange/yellow main bank of six SATA ports (there is nothing attached to the purple Gigabyte chipped twin headers).
I've already swapped out all the SATA cables and chkdsk'd the drives, and verified the integrity of the Windows 7 DVD.
My board had the original BIOS when I checked, so I upgraded to version F6. Alas nothing has changed. Other components are a Palit HD4850 Sonic graphics card, 8Gb OCZ 1,333Mhz RAM, plus a modest Intel Q9300 2.5Ghz CPU.
If anyone has experience of loading the Southbridge ICH10 drivers under Windows 7 and can spare me an explanation I'd be very grateful.
I was wondering, I know Win7 64bit can natively emulate 32bit programs to an extent, but can I do advanced compatibility for it be able to more emulate 32bit?

It used to work and now it don't?? During boot up I see the drive in the bios messages on my screen. Also when I look in device manager it shows the drive and says this device is working properly. However, when I click on "computer" its not there and no software program such as backup finds the drive either. I have tried uninstalling the drive in device manager and then rebooting. No luck? I am not sure when it quit working or why. Its not the drive as I have tried more than one and they are recognized when used in the USB port. I have uninstalled the Marvell 61xx RAID controller in the device manager also but no change?
