is it possible to disabable INTEL RST / VMD acer predator via bios modding?
Edit by Fernando: Since your question may be valid for all modern Intel chipset mainboards, I have customized the thread title.
@alfredposadas09 Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Why do you want to disable the on-board Intel SATA AHCI/RAID/VMD Controllers?
You may not be able to use the SATA ports.
cpu has a problem… when i install cpu driver i get blue screen of death “driver power state failure” … i want to install linux ubuntu in this laptop but i cant because it is said the intel irst is enable… when i visit the bios there is no option to disable the IRST…
- To which port is your system drive connected and which OS is running?
- Please attach the currently used BIOS or give us a link to it.

As you can see here, the related Intel RST VMD module has the version 17.8.0.4507:
After having deleted the module you may not be able to get access to the data of your SATA connected disk drives.
I do not recommend to try it!
