Can my motherboard GIGABYTE P35S3G and HDD ST3160815AS enable AHCI?

There may be a problem with the jumper settings. This hard disk should be no problem, only when SATA first began to be popularized, some hard disk control chips were originally on the early parallel port products, and a bridge chip was added to make a serial port hard disk during actual production, and this part of the hard disk may not be able to turn on AHCI. I guess your situation may be that the hard drive jumper is not set up.

There are two transmission modes for serial port hard disks: 3Gbps and, the current hard disks basically support 3Gbps, at least you support this one. But in order to be compatible with some early motherboards, there is a jumper setting on the hard drive, which can be forced to be set to the factory setting of all the Seagate hard drives I've seen, and I think the reason is probably this, you just remove that jumper cap, and it is back to 3Gbps mode.

Canceled the reboot or like that, I feel like the bios still seems to have saved some wrong information without restoring. For example, my G35 motherboard sometimes fails to overclock, even if the initial frequency is restored, there may still be some abnormal phenomena after booting, but it is solved after resetting.

As for the blue screen phenomenon you mentioned, it is due to the fact that the SATA controller driver has not been installed on the operating system, resulting in an error that the hardware cannot be recognized after turning on AHCI and cannot be started, in this case, the premise is that AHCI is successfully enabled; But in this case, it seems that the ahci was not successfully turned on, and it was stuck before it reached the step of loading the operating system.

Enabling the AHCI method in the BIOS is as simple as setting the SATA mode to AHCI. For example, my motherboard has three options in SATA Channel settings: IDE, AHCI, and RAID, as long as it is set to AHCI mode, nothing else needs to be set.

In addition, if you still have a parallel port device such as an optical drive on your computer, you can also unplug it temporarily. Hope it helps

Turn on the NCQ technology of the hard disk, and install the relevant program drivers when installing the system. The current XP (SP3) system can be installed automatically. The NCQ technology I use is to install the relevant drivers and related programs after the system is installed normally, and the advantage is that you can turn on and off AHCI at any time.

The disadvantage of the automatic installation is that it cannot be converted at will, and a blue screen will appear when converting.

Your problem is most likely that the relevant program driver is not installed at all!

Go to the BIOS settings, the settings interface of different motherboards are different, look for it.

Turn on F8 Go in and find what sata and then you can choose.

The ICH10R is an upgraded version of the 9th generation chipset, which can be transferred to the motherboard to control the AHCI that would otherwise require a system driver. This results in faster hard drive access and improved compatibility.

So just install the right chipset driver. There will be motherboard drivers on the AHCI side.

In fact, AHCI is a vertical read/write technology, which used to require a special driver for system installation, but now it is not needed. Just install the motherboard driver.

No problem.

The second question is to take out the instructions of this high-end motherboard and take a look at how to adjust the motherboard detection.

BIOS settings, HDD related options. There should be two options: AHCI and IDE, and to enable AHCI, you must install the corresponding driver before you can turn it on in the BIOS, otherwise it will be a blue screen.

It is recommended that you call GIGABYTE 800 or 400 directly and ask the engineer, **There is a request on the GIGABYTE official website.

If you have an SSD, use win7, and win7 supports SSD well. Win7 installation version comes with AHCI driver, and formatting can be automatically 4K aligned during installation.

1. Press DEL to enter the BIOS settings when the computer is turned on.

2. Select the Advanced tab.

3. Select SATA Configuration: The SATA interface is compatible with the option.

4. SATA mode selection: the mode of SATA interface, which can be selected from IDE and AHCI mode.

Then save and exit.

Hello, before modifying the registry, you need to install the AHCI driver once.

In layman's terms, IDE is ATA mode, is a parallel port transmission mode, 04 years ago popularized technology, the theoretical maximum is 133MB per second, AHCI is SATA mode, serial port transmission mode, new technology, fast transmission speed, theoretical maximum 300MB per second.

1. Adjust to IDE mode in order to install the system that does not inherit the SATA driver, after installing the system, you must install the SATA driver and then change the working mode back to ahcii, otherwise your hard disk can only play 30% of the performance;

2. In the process of installing the system, whether it is GHOST or the XP system that does not integrate the SATA driver in the installation CD, there will be installation failure or a blue screen after booting after GHOST, all because the hard disk mode of AHCI cannot be supported;

3. The performance of AHCI hard disk mode is not only the speed improvement, the relatively early IDE hard disk mode, AHCI provides more new functions to support, these new functions are the key to improve the read and write performance of the hard disk;

4. To put it simply, ahci is a new hard disk algorithm, which can effectively improve the performance of mechanical hard disks and support some special functions;

5. The AHCI mode is the opposite of the IDE mode, and the SATA driver needs to be installed when installing the system (and it seems that only this mode can turn on the NCQ function). If you do not install the AHCI driver when you install the system initially, it will not be turned on, and it will be blue screen after opening, in this case, you must first select the BIOS back to IDE mode, manually install the AHCI driver, modify the registry, and select AHCI to restart.

Note: 1. If you want to install the original version (Windows XP SP3), it will be blue screen during the installation process, the reason is very simple. The original version (Windows XP SP3) does not integrate SATA driver, how to deal with it:

Then change the AHCI mode to IDE mode in BIOS. After the system installation is completed, install the SATA driver with the CD-ROM that comes with the motherboard, and then go to the BIOS to change the IDE mode to AHCI mode.

2. If the system has been installed, it is now blue screen or keeps restarting after turning on AHCI mode.

Solution: Go to the BIOS and change the AHCI mode to IDE mode. Enter the system, use the motherboard's built-in CD-ROM to install the SATA driver, and then go to the BIOS to change the IDE mode to AHCI mode.

In the dialog box that pops up, move the cursor to AHCI, which is the SATA interface mode.

If the computer is an SSD, Win7 or above, it is recommended to enter the motherboard BIOS to turn on the HDD high-speed mode AHCI. One by one ahci is the high-speed mode of the hard disk, its data transmission performance is nearly three times higher than the IDE, once the operating system is installed, and then set the hard disk mode, it will lead to the inability to enter the system, so before the system is installed, it is necessary to set the hard disk mode reasonably to improve the overall work efficiency of the computer. IDE is ATA mode, is the parallel port transmission mode, 04 years ago technology, the maximum 133M S, AHCI is SATA mode, serial port transmission mode, new technology, fast transmission speed, maximum 300M S.

As shown in the figure, different brands of motherboards are set up in a slightly different way, after setting, press F10 to save and exit, and then install the operating system immediately, after the system enters, all drivers or related settings are in place, and then use onekey one-click restore and other similar software to back up the system, if there is any problem with the system in the future, it can be restored at any time, and there is no need to install the system repeatedly.

It's the SATA mode.

ATA is IDE

Some machines need to install XP system, and you need to change the interface mode to ATA before you can install it.

It's very complete inside, take a look at V.
