Hi,
I have just installed a Samsung SSD into my Vaio but there is no AHCI option in the BIOS. I have searched about the internet for an amended version but haven't found one for my model of laptop, I have found them for the version of the BIOS it uses, R0122S5, but am not sure if you can use R0122S5 from any laptop and just flash that onto my laptop (as there is a version of R0122S5 on this forum that has been enabled but for a different Vaio model). I'm thinking it may brick it hence coming here. All I'd like is to be able to see the option to use AHCI, there is absolutely nothing in there at the moment. I have installed WinPhlash on the laptop and can see how to load it, I just need the file to load please. I am doing this from work so can't do a back-up of the current BIOS but it can be downloaded here http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content...VGN-SZ71VN I realise this is for Vista, I am running Windows 7 Ulimate 32 bit, but Sony haven't offered an update to the BIOS since Vista so this is it.
I'm hoping the file needed can be extracted from the .exe file, if not let me know and I'll upload a backup of the BIOS when I am home later.
Whatever happens thank you for offering this service, normal folk like me would be stuffed without it.
Thanks,
Steve.
