Yes, I am well acquainted with the Disk Management tool. Unfortunately there are no paths starting with Device Harddisk# visible here. The harddisk5 dr5 appears like a logical drive and partition on one of the non-system disks. The system disk will be disk 0. It appears as Disk 1 on my machine. Once you invoke via Promise CLI the command 'ctrl -a mod -s 'powersavinglevel=0' this will disable all power management of the hard disk drives in Pegasus2. For the next service release we plan to disable level 1 and level 2 by default. Note that all hard disk controllers provide hard disk status information in single/standalone mode only unless RAID mode is listed for the appropriate hard disk controller (RAID controller). Note: the firmware update for ASMedia ASM1051 USB3.0 bridge may work with enclosures, adapters based on this chip to get the missing status information.

“I have a desktop that I added PCI based raid controller card as well. The BIOS displays the card and I was able to configure Raid 1 without any issue. But when I try to install Windows I got an error message “Windows cannot be installed to disk. This system hardware may not support booting to a disk. Ensure the disk controller is enabled in the computer’s BIOS Menu.”

So, could you please help me to fix the issue of how to enable the disk controller in the computer bios menu? Your help would be greatly appreciated.”

There are multiple ways to enable AHCI mode for SATA on PC where Windows is already installed, and Windows that normally run after this operation. Please have a look on steps to solve your query on how to enable disk controller in bios menu windows 10:

Controller
  • First of all, run the Registry Editor
  • For this, press Windows + R and type regedit in the command line box
  • Go to this section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services iaStorV
  • Double-click on Start icon and set its value to zero (0)
  • In the upcoming section, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services iaStorAV StartOverride set zero value for element 0
  • In this section, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services storahci set some values to zero for Start element.
  • In the next subsection, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services storahci StartOverride set zero value for element 0.
  • In this case, there is nothing to be seen, but you can see, if AHCI may not be enabled yet.
  • Close the Registry Editor
  • Restart the system and go to BIOS or UEFI. For the first time after a restart, it is always better to boot Windows in safe mode
  • In BIOS or UEFI, find SATA settings to choose the particular mode for memory devices. Switch all of them to AHCI, save settings and restart the PC
  • After restarting, Windows can start the installation of SATA drivers, and when it gets over, it will ask for another restart. To do so, users will enable the AHCI mode in Windows. (If the above method does not work properly, here is another solution. To initiate with, if users have problems with booting Windows in AHCI mode, return to IDE and restart the desktop, After doing this:)
  • Start the Command promptas an Administrator
  • Type “bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal” in the command prompt and press Enter key
  • After getting a message that the operation successfully completed, restart the computer system
  • Before booting the system, enable the disk controller in BIOS or UEFI using the above method and save the settings
  • The PC will only boot up in safe mode and install all required drivers.
  • Again, launch Command prompt as Administrator and type in bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
  • Once the command is executed, restart the PC again. This time, Windows needs to boot with AHCI enabled and without any restrictions.

Well, these instructions can theoretically result in unintended consequences like the inability to start the operating system. Moreover, this method requires technical skills and knowledge to accomplish the task. Here you have got the solution for your query How do I enable disk’s controller in the BIOS menu?
