LENOVO Ideacentre D400 (ACER H340)

[longman2u]

Hi there. Please help me.
I have a Ideacentre D400(home server),
I need to enable sata Raid and AHCI option so the hard disks can run at raid 5 mode.


Thank you !

well , your bios hasn`t got the ahci option in the setup utility as well as the raid option .
you should go to the ahci and raid section then they will add the raid module to your bios and the ahci module too .

i can add modules to bios but i have never tried it and it`s sure that moderators in raid and ahci section knew far more than me in this

Excuse me,Sir.Would you please add the raid and ahci modules to the BIOS?
Please help me,Thanks a lot.

this will be the first time for me to add RAID module to a phoenix bios and it would brick your notebook .
in the option rom section , the moderators and admins have done this several times and they knew far more than me about adding AHCI and RAID modules .

i`m only specialized im unlocking any hidden option or menu or even creating a totaly new menu and editing DMI information also editing bios parameters .............but adding new options or adding a new module to bios is under research and haven`t tried it yet so i don`t want to be the one who bricked your bios

here is the links to option rom section ......they can help you there and i only can help in unlocking options

you are welcome here

your bios has only option to enable or disable sata but i haven`t find any option for sata mode ( IDE OR AHCI ) as well as RAID .

so the options aren`t existed to unlock them .

also after adding the AHCI OR RAID module in your bios , it would work automatically with no option to select enable or disable.

however , i can create the new option to make you able to disable or enable the new module ( after adding the RAID MODULE ) .
eg , i can disable option like BOOT FROM LAN and put the raid module instead of it sothat when you choose bootfrom lan , the AHCI or RAID will work.

concerning the other options , you have hyperthreading , virtualization , frequency ratio....etc which all existed but hidden ( i can unlock them if you want ) .

so , just post the bios here ( after adding the raid module ) and i will try making a new option for it .

Hi,Mr.AHMED HOSSAM,
I open the bios file with PBE and winhex,found the mod 'OPROM02.ROM' like a raid mod.
What do you think about?

[AHMED HOSSAM]

yes , this is a RAID module but there is no option made to call this module and adding new options to any bios is still under research .

i`m sorry for this .
