vitasg Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I am trying to change the SATA settings on my harddrive to AHCI. In most computers this is no problem: simply go into the bios page at startup and alter the drive’s settings. However, on lower-end laptops, such as the Gateway ML3109, their BIOS pages frequently do not allow, or even display, an option to tweak this setting. What to do? The ML3109 has a Phoenix BIOS and I downloaded the Phoenix Bios Editor 4.2, which allows, I think, editing the BIOS page to make certain functions like modifying the SATA mode appear as an option. My problem now is that I don’t know where my BIOS file is stored on my computer. I need to find it so I can edit it and add the SATA mode option. Does anyone have any information about this? Thank you. By the way, I am running Vista, and am familiar with the instructions for enabling the SATA drivers in that OS provided by Microsoft, which everyone anyone attempting SATA drivers in Vista should read -- whether they need to edit their bios or not. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macguy6 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Where did you get the bios editor from? I will try to use it if you give me a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
