No AHCI options found in your bios file .
but i can unlock other options , let me knew if you want unlocking other options .

Yes yes yes

is there any other was to get AHCI into my bios.

I see allot of ahci.rom files from diff oems, can't i just add one from another toshiba A215 and get it to work

I haven`t tried inserting AHCI roms before but i guess that your notebook will not support it even if the chipset support the AHCI but you will find the manufacturer disabled something in the chipset to make it ahci unsupported .

as i said , no AHCI option is in your bios and i hasn`t tried inserting RAID or AHCI modules before .
you can request it in the option rom section then post the modified biod here and i will unlock other options .

and note that alot of notebooks which support AHCI and when i unlock the option then it doesn`t work and work with others !! the reason is unknown..........BTW, the bios hasn`t got the option to unlock and i will unlock the other options for you .
