@mimotto,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to change from ACHI to IDE mode in BIOS.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

If the option is not available in the BIOS then you will not be able to change it. HP has locked a few settings on your computer which are being managed by the system configuration as the device is configured to its optimal performance.

There's no way of resetting or changing these locked settings via HP articles or assistance,

You could unlock and make changes at your own discretion using 3rd party tools, however, HP doesn't recommend the same nor has information about the tools used.

I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!

If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution. Your feedback counts!

Cheers!

@mimotto,

You can research online to find the tools to unlock BIOS. As informed earlier HP doesn't recommend making changes to the BIOS and you can change the configuration at your own risk.

Cheers!
