Access QosmioPlayer and HDD on Qosmio F20

Hello!

I just bought a laptop Toshiba Qosmio F20 and I'm very satisfied with it, except that I can't browse and play the media files on my hard drive.

There are versions of Qosmio Player - original or modified - that come with this feature, which allowed me to play backups of my music CDs and DVD movies stored on my hard drive (mp3, divx formats, etc.), without having to start the computer in XP?

I hope a quick and honest response.

Kind regards

Vegard

Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck - the Qosmio player doesn't have any codecs for MP3, MPEG4, DivX, etc., and to access NTFS volumes from outside of Windows is generally frowned upon in any case...

  • Quake 4 and FEAR on Qosmio F20

    Hello

    I bought Quake 4 a few days ago, installed on my Qosmio F20-101 (Geforce Go 6600, 1 GB of memory) and I must say, it runs great!
    Looks very good, no cutting. The only exception iss setting "Ultra - Performance." But I play the game on high - details which really does!

    FEAR also works great on the Qosmio F20. I am very satisfied with this Toshiba product. Are there what is another who has played Quake 4 and FEAR on Toshiba products?

    Ben

    Hello

    I think it s a gambling problem. Maybe the Ultra Performance means that the game should run with high precision.
    But nevertheless, I agree with you.
    Qosmio F20 it s really a nice unit and on the market, this unit has a solid performance. One of my friends also play a lot of games on a Qosmio and it runs great. In my opinion the graphics card, processor and memory size is very nice and I don t know any laptops different have a performance of similar material.

  • Drivers and utilities for Qosmio F20 running Vista

    Hi, I had a Qosmio F20 (PQF20A) computer laptop running Windows Vista

    None of the drivers and original utilities were installed, and none of the function buttons/keys work.

    Some drivers, I was able to install through update (Device Manager) and Toshiba Support

    I looked up support for public services and the only drivers/utils available are for * XP * ONLY

    When I try to install the Modules or controls or any other Vista drivers/utilities it stops and says "TVALZ Driver Installation Failed" and then "driver blocked due to incompatibility, for more information, contact Toshiba... »

    Can't find anything relevant on the Toshiba site. I looked towards the top of Toshiba in various regions for support...

    There the drivers/Utils for Vista?
    Help, please!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the Toshiba Vista tools or utilities for Qosmio F20 don t it.
    As far as I know the Qosmio F20 series and the G20 have been designed and equipped only with the XP operating system and so Vista drivers were not released.

    You can try to search for some unique drivers on Internet sites s chip maker but features such as the control keys or the FN buttons will not work with Vista :(

  • Qosmio F20: How to add a second HDD

    Hi all, my first post, so be nice!

    I recently bought a new Qosmio F20 with unique 60 gig HD. I realize now after a month, I need much more space, it will add a second 120 GIG HD. My question is, is this easy to do? How can I do? Is there a couple of screws to undo and just pop in? Also is there a certain type of HD necessary?

    Sorry for the questions of basic but this is my first laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is not possible to use two hard disks on F notebook series as on G series, delivered with two hard drives. In my opinion that the best solution is to use external USB connected HDD. On this way, you can use notebook HARD drive 2.5 in aluminum case.

    Google a bit and you will find many of them with a different ability. I use a 60 GB external HDD back up all my data.

  • HDD upgrade on Qosmio F20-136

    I have a Qosmio F20-136 with about 60 GB hard drive, I see that new models now have more than 200 to 320 GB of HDD.

    Does anyone know what updates are available for the hard drive for my machine, because I want to increase the size.
    Thank you

    You will have no problem with 120 GB.
    The problem is that you won't find a Toshiba official information on the size of HARD drive compatibility.
    You must test several sizes. In any case, for now I didn t find any laptop computers with a single internal 320 GB HDD and as mentioned by James s not sure what the BIOS does not support this large size of HARD drive.
    So if you want to use a HDD larger than 120HDD you should test it before you buy

  • Qosmio F20 and WinXP Pro

    Using a Qosmio F20-110 but hated XP MCE that accompanies it. Reinstalled XP Pro SP2 and drivers according to the instructions of installation in section help. Runs great.

    Can the brightness of buttons and the display of the special player buttons serve in XP Pro? I installed the driver controls but only the Internet button watch.

    Is it possible to use the TV tuner (although the agreement was never large in MCE). Necessary third-party TV software? Not so important.

    see you soon
    Paul

    Hello Paul

    Have you installed Qosmioplayer yet?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think WXP MCE is actually the Pro version. It is highly recommended to install all the stuff to Toshiba because of the feature, but if you have installed all the tools of Toshiba, it should work. As much as I know all Toshiba tools and utilities are not created only for WMCE but also for the home and professional version. But I found for WMCE you use TOSHIBA controls V3.19.2201 for MCE and home TOSHIBA controls V3.19.2401. Please check installed version on your device.

    Good luck!

  • After installing new FN and multimedia keys do not work on Qosmio F20

    Hello, my friend buy Qosmio F20 of the Germany, but it comes with Windows Xp with the German language on this subject. I format the hard drive and install Windows Xp Professional SP2. I download all of the drivers who was very available and most of the functions work (like display, sound, touchpad and others), but the multimedia keys and the FN keys do not work (remote work). The other problem is that I can't install the TV tuner.

    With German Windows XP, I try TV tuner but have no SOUND what is the problem? When I try to install the utility software under display appear message that says "Unable to get the information from the BIOS" or something comparable. I have install all the drivers that I found in the Qosmio F20 support page but I have video control with exclamation mark in Device Manager.

    Can you help me?

    Where am I wrong? What should I do?

    First of all he must know that if you are going to install together the Toshiba drivers after installing the OS to do in the right order!
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the Installation Instructions. You will need to follow the guide line! It is important to properly work all the functions!

    In addition, you will need to select the right OS. There are two: XP and XP MCE.

    To control buttons Toshiba works correctly, you will need to install the controls.
    But as I said above: follow the instructions in the insulation.

    A few words on the TV tuner:
    As far as I know, you can only use the TV tuner in the country where the laptop was purchased because different PAN and NTSC settings.
    In addition, the TV tuner driver offers TV tuning and recording capabilities using Media Center on your computer. If you have any MCE so I put t know how you want to watch TV.

  • Vista on Qosmio F20: SD card reader and Media Player keys do not work

    I recently updated my Qosmio F20 for Vista.
    I got most of the job functions, but my SD card reader and fixed keys for media player still haven't.

    I can't find the drivers for them (I don't think they exist for a F20) so I was wondering if anyone had a solution.

    Thank you

    Hi faarn

    You can't find the Vista drivers as Vista don t drivers is on the page of Toshiba. Some people have posted a link to the official document on the units of Vista support and the Qosmio G and F20 was not on the list.

    But another clue. Check the drivers in another series as F30 or G30. But the chances are small that the pilots will run

    Hello

    It makes sense to contact the ASP in your country, because you need two different parts compatible for the Qosmio F20-137.
    The authorized service provider may order directly the two parts of the Toshiba.

  • Qosmio F20: Question on tuner TV and Touch pad

    Hi guys,.

    This is the first time for me on the forum, I have questions about my Qosmio F20.

    1. I installed a Microsoft mouse wireless yesterday, and I noticed that the touch pad system tray icon and Touch and Go system tray icon disappeared! Could it be because that the replacement of a pointing device with another? I would like your help to recover the missing programs again.

    2 - I tried to connect the satellite receiver with the TV tuner and I managed to get a picture, but the image was all blue. Does anyone have an EXPLANATION for that? And can I fix it without going through dealers?

    Please, help me with my problems.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    1.) of course the 3rd party mouse driver could be a reason for a loss of Touch and Go system tray icon. If you wish, you can use the system restore which is part of the Win Xp operating system. This procedure should push you old driver and utility.

    (2.) trying to update the TV tuner driver. The latest version is 1.0.32.50526

  • Qosmio F20 and Vista Ultimate

    I would like to know if anyone knows when Toshiba will create all the necessary drivers for this model running windows Vista ultimate.
    Can someone give an answer? Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't answer you that, but I'm afraid that it won't happen. As you know Vista is already longer than one year on the market and if Toshiba didn't offer drivers up to now I n t believe this will happen in the future.

    In any case, I'm sure you can find the drivers somewhere on the net. I mean the graphics or sound driver. You can also try to use the value added packages or other tools of some other models Qosmio Toshiba.

    I don't have a Qosmio F20 and cannot test it but if you have a game for a little time with her.
    I'm sure you can make it work well.
