Change SATA to AHCI

[Al-Roubaye]

Hello, This is a costumer. I need to change the HDD mod in my notebook pc wich is Pavilion dv6-6050se. Please help because my bios is limited so that I can't change that. Thanks.

Hi,

Your notebook by default is set to SATA AHCI mode, so I really do not understand your question.

Could you explain what your are trying to do and why?

Thanks a lot,

To be honest i'm trying to install WinXp on my notebook bc so, I need to change to AHCI. Otherwise, I want to get more options in my bios?. Thanks.

I appreciate you hard time, but i will be happy if you tell me how to change to AHCI from BIOS!. Thanks.

There is no way to to disable SATA AHCI.

This option is not available in BIOS.

There is an option in Dell bios says SATA OPERATION and you have to choose one of the followin (Disabled---ATA----AHCI)

BUT I CAN'T FIND THIS IH HP PAVILION DV6-6050SE. IT COSTS ME TOO MUCH MONEY. I consider that  I lost my money if I don't figure how to do it. Thanks.

As I already said you can't do this in this model.

This is why I have made guide about slipstreaming SATA drivers.

Why do u want to install Win XP so disparately ?

Hi

I would like to change my SATA mode to AHCI too; my laptop is an Envy 4 1050, is that set by default to AHCI, as in the pavilion above? Where can I check those specs in the future?

Thanks!
