How to turn off RST in BIOS?

[17cn1053cl]

Call me lazy, slow or whatever - can someone just tell me EXACTLY where to go in BIOS to turn off RST? I don't see anything related to storage.

This is nuts - This is really getting to be frustrating. Virtual assistant only gives vague instructions, apparently it doesn't know which BIOS my laptop has although it ias the product key, and I don't see the storage option at all 

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I am never buyint HP again if this does not get resolved.

Hi @17cn1053cl,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I Understand you are trying to turn off RST in BIOS

Try these steps:

Restart Your Laptop:

• Turn off the laptop, then turn it on again.
• Press the "Esc" key repeatedly as soon as it powers up to enter the Startup Menu.

Enter BIOS Setup:

• From the Startup Menu, press the "F10" key to enter BIOS Setup.

Navigate to Configuration:

• Use the arrow keys to go to the "Configuration" or "Advanced" tab. This tab might vary slightly based on the BIOS version.

Find Storage Options:

• Within the "Configuration" or "Advanced" tab, search for "Storage" or "Storage options". Look for "SATA Mode" or similar phrasing.

Change SATA Mode:

• Find the "SATA Mode" setting. If it shows “Intel RST” or “RAID”, change it to "AHCI".
• Use the arrow keys to highlight the setting and press "Enter". Then select "AHCI" mode.

Save Changes:

• Press the "F10" key to save changes and exit BIOS.
• Confirm any prompts asking if you want to save changes.

Restart:

• The laptop will restart with the new settings applied.

I hope this helps.
