Lenovo Y410 không chuyển sang mode AHCI?

Enable AHCI Native SATA to Y410 (F41 family) and BIOS 3.13 update


I 've try to enable AHCI and Native SATA support by using NVRam modify. Yes!! it work for me. (on my Windows XP)

I want to share step to enable this hidden feature by following.

1. You need symcmos.exe to get and modify NVRam.


2. Intel Matrix Storage for ICH-8 (Download from intel website)

3. Y410, F41 BIOS version 3.13

OK let's do it.

1. Update your F41 or Y410 BIOS to latest version (3.13)
2. Download Intel Matrix Storage from Intel and extract them using command -a (ex. iata89cd.exe -a)



2.1 The extract driver are extract to C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\
2.2 Use "device manager" and browse to "Primary IDE Channel"
2.3 Reinstall driver by using Manual install and change this driver to "Intel ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller".


3. Reboot the systems.

Next step will modify the NVRam (NVRam is the modify values of BIOS and it had battery backup for this values, Modify of this not dangerous for your system just reset BIOS or load default value in BIOS will restore setting of NVRam).


1. Extract symcmos.rar (I've create mini FAT32 partition and extract to this parition)
2. Using CD-bootable to dos mode
3. Go to drive and folder symcmos. run a "put.bat" to modify NVRam automatic and restart your laptop.

Or manually by following step.

3.1 Type "symcmos -Lcmos.tx"t to dump NVRam to "cmos.txt" file.
3.2 Use Text Editor for dos modify the below value and save.


This value in file "cmos.txt" to modify from [0000] to [0001]
SATA controller (Disable/Enable) : (0003) [0000] change to -->> (0003) [0001]
AHCI Mode (Compatible/AHCI) : (0006) [0000] change to -->> (0006) [0001]
** You can't modify only (0006) without change (0003) value to [0001] it will freez the BIOS screen. You need to clear BIOS setting

HDD Sata chỉ dùng đc như 1 ổ PATA bình thường,nên ko phát huy đc hết khả năng cũng như tốc độ của SATA.
