Hi Svet,

i have bought a Samsung 830 SSD for my gx660r notebook, but i realized that it is not recognized in the BIOS in AHCI mode.

The MSIHQ Flashing Tool says the following about my BIOS:

Mainboard:  MS-16F1
PCB Version:  To be filled by O.E.M.
BIOS Version: E16F1IMS VER3.0J
BIOS Date:  28.03.2011
EC-FW Version:

Could you provide me with a BIOS that works with my Samsung SSD?
I already donated some bucks.

And can you give me a hint how i can rescue my system in case the update fails?
As far as i know, my notebook does not have m-flash (at least i've seen no reference to m-flash), is there another way to restore the backup bios in case something goes wrong?

BTW: Im using the latest version of the flashing tool, but it does not offer the mode 2 (where i can point to a single bios file). Can you provide the modded bios as a zip/rar file so i can use it with mode1?

Many thanks,
Sascha

i realized that it is not recognized in the BIOS in AHCI mode.

That is probably normal. Is it shown when SATA controller is in IDE/SATA mode?

Yep, check PM

Nope, in a case of bad flash there is no recovery.
Else if everything goes fine, you can restore original BIOS if you want to do this for some reason.

BTW: Im using the latest version of the flashing tool, but it does not offer the mode 2 (where i can point to a single bios file).

To prevent using the wrong flasher[which can kill the notebook],
Tool automatically Disable Mode2 when notebook is detected.

Can you provide the modded bios as a zip/rar file so i can use it with mode1?

Yes, ofc. Check PM

I ordered the same ssd for my GT663R and it will be send to me next week. Actually I thought it will not cause any problems to change the harddisks but today I found this forum and I saw that it is obviously a problem :-(

In another post I read that I have to flash the 10L bios but even than the ssd is not recognized according to this post.
Is this Bios working for the GT663R too or can I get somewhere a working Bios for my notebook? I'm having the same specs beside the Bios version, its
***************************
BIOS Version: E16F1IMS VER3.0L

Currently I'm having two harddrives in Raid 0 mode,  I'm planning to replace both harddrives - one Samsung 830 SSD for Windows and one Seagate Momentus XT, of course in AHCI mode. Do I need another special Bios for it?

Thanks in advance for any helpful hint
