• Qosmio G20: Cannot install Vista because of lack of RAID drivers

  I just bought a version of Vista Ultimate, but I can't install it because I don't have the drivers Raid and BT. When Toshiba will make available?

  A friend of mine installed Vista on his G30 and he used the RAID to XP or MCE driver.
  It worked! I was also surprised, but he managed to install the Vista on G30.
  I know the G30 is not the same thing as the G20, but you can test

• Can Qosmio G50 - I install Mac OS?

  I am interested to install Mac os snow leopard in the Qosmio G50.

  Is possible to install an operating system from Apple in the Toshiba laptop?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I'm pretty sure that's not possible to install Mac OS on the Qosmio G50. I mean the Qosmio G50 doesn t support this OS, at the moment it supports Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit.

  Also, I guess you will get all the drivers for it and the material is different for computers that support this operating system.

  Just be happy with your preinstalled operating system and have fun with your laptop :)
  Qosmio G50 is really nice laptop, I have the Qosmio F50 (smaller with screen 15.4 inches). It of really great design and I run Vista 32 bit.

• VISTA on Qosmio G20

  Hi, is upgrading to Vista on a Qosmio G20 recommended?
  I know the Vista Media Center not - work with HDTV here in Sweden, but WinMCE2005 (XP), and the latter is installed on my G20.

  I don't think that Vista Media Center can be added on XP.

  Hello

  AFAIK Qosmio G20 is not Vista support and unfortunately Toshiba doesn't offer Vista drivers, tools and utilities for this model of laptop.

  In my opinion, you should continue to use Windows XP Home edition.

  What you can do is try how Vista works on Qosmio G20 and install it on the second partition of HARD drive.

• How to install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

  Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
  The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

  Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
  If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

  I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
  Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
  But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

  Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

• Qosmio G20 156: clean install?

  Hello

  I am new to the arena for laptop and am the proud owner of the Qosmio G20 156 fantastic.

  I was wondering what people recommend doing the first thing when you receive... in what respect the sofware & operating system; Is it a good idea to perform a clean installation of Windows and the format of the HARD drive? I'm asking this is because some laptops come with a lot of junkware? If so, it's a very simple process using the recovery discs or I just would open the Pandora's box of possible complications?

  I'm quite proficient with installing the drivers etc.

  Any advice much appreciated!

  Hello

  Well, it s beautiful that you're proficient with installing the driver, but is not everything you need to know.
  This device uses a RAID technology and you will need to also install the RAID drivers, etc.
  I don t recommend to format anything or install the new OS. Toshiba programs and applications are installed on the new Qosmio because it s a laptop top of range with many features. The latest features need these applications.

  But of course it s your device and you decided what and how is running on your laptop.
  I have this case you can use the image of Toshiba and you can remove some programs from the laptop computer in Add and remove programs

  It is a simpler way.

• Downloading and installing Tuner driver - Qosmio G20

  Excuse my ignorance, but I downloaded a file zip on the Toshiba site containing files for installing a tv tuner driver (date updated 11.24.05) for my Qosmio G20 - 139 (PQG21E-01500NEN). The instructions say: '... .cochez the contents of the zip file for details of installation, but I can't find/identify a file that provides instructions on how (there are a few I clicked on this offer a warning about opening files, so, being a novice in these things, I chose to not continue).

  Can anyone advise me on what file contains the installation instructions, or how I should go about installing this driver?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi Eduar

  I t's not done this before, but as you can see there is no any file setup.exe and install the driver on the usual way. Go to device manager, chose the device and properties you can use the option of installing the driver.

  You can also start the Add Hardware Wizard.

• How to install driverupdate LAN for Qosmio G20?

  In response to an alert from Toshiba, I downloaded an updated their site driver LAN driver. I can not find, however, any info on how to install it despite the statement on the website info would be on this site or in the downloaded file.

  No icons probably looking in the file to produce anything. Any suggestions on how I might proceed? I have a Qosmio G20 (PQG21).

  You'll have to do it the manual way:

  (1) unpack the contents of the downloaded lan - xp - 80430.zip file to a temporary location as c:\landriver
  (2) open the control panel and double-click the system icon
  (3) in the brand-new "System Properties" box click on HARDWARE on the top bar
  (4) now, click on 'Device Manager' and a new box will appear with several tiny icons.
  5) click on the "Network adapters" icon and select your Lan card (.. .should say something like INTEL and 100)
  (6) right click on the entry of Intel (r) and select "UPDATE DRIVER"
  (7) now follow the instructions in the "Update Wizzard'...

  (x) No, not this time---> NEXT
  (x) install from a list or a specific location---> NEXT
  (x) do not search, I will choose the driver to install---> NEXT
  (x) have Disk---> NEXT

  (8) where it is said: "copy the Builder files from" you must NAVIGATE to the folder you created in step 1 (c:\landriver)
  (9) now choose 'E100b325.inf' If you are running Windows XP OR E100ant5.inf if you are running Windows 2000 [choose the option for Windows XP]
  10) confirm with [ok] in the event that a box will appear telling you that the drivers are not certified by Windows, blah blah blah
  (11) reboot if your computer ask

  I don't think its necessary to update your LAN driver unless you had problems with your network adapter.
  I have described the procedure of a manual update which is exactly the same for each device. I can't
  confirm if these drivers work on your computer, even if they should according to INTEL.
  If you face problems to use your LAN card after the upgrade of drivers, do not hesitate to roll back to your previous settings... but for the moment let's hope we don't need to explain how to do this. ;)

  Good luck

• Install Windows 7 on Qosmio G20

  Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20 - 102 model: PQG20E

  My operating system is Windows XP and iam trying to install Windows 7, when I run the Setup, choose "Custom Installation" (I can not choose the form of the option 'Upgrade' XP to 7), but when iam supposed to choose the drive I install windows, I get this message:

  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows needs the driver for device [TOSHIBA RAID]. Click on "Load Driver" and load the required device driver. »

  I tried to update the driver, I tried searching on the internet, but with no use, I'd appreciate it really if anyone can help, thanks :)

  Hello Ahmed

  In general I put t if it is good idea to install Win 7 on this old notebook. OK you can try it but I fear that you will not be able to find the right drivers for it, especially some specific Toshiba m.

  As you probably know, Toshiba doesn't support this model of laptop to Win7, not even for Vista so the history can be quite complicated.

  Anyway, you can try to load THE RAID driver. You can find it in the KR10N folder.

  Load it using the floppy or USB key. I put t know if it will work, but you can try it.

• Qosmio G20 - How can I get the tuner to work?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20. :) It has windows xp professional installed.

  I can access the Qosmio Player (by pressing the tv button) while the laptop is turned off. Get a snowy picture.

  I donnot have a remote control. I'm from South Africa.

  If anyone can help with the following text:

  -Do I need a remote to tune to a frequency of psecific?
  -If no, how I tune to a specific frequency without remote?
  -How to access the user interface of the Qosmio player?
  -The Qosmio accessible from Windows player?
  Is there a guide on how to install and use the Qosmio player? If so, please provide the download link.

  Thank you

  Hello

  How do you watch TV?
  Which player Qosmio do you have?
  AFAIK the Qosmio Player versions 4.3 and older do not support the DVB - T signal.

  Also I m not very good if you want to be able to receive TV channels in South Africa if this Qosmio G20 was released in European countries.
  The point is that the internal tuner would not receive the signals due to the different PAL/NTSC settings.

  Regarding scanning of channels:
  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=25430

  In order to run the scan, you need to start the Qosmio player, press the F1 key and enter the Setup program.
  Here, you can do a scan. You n t need the remote!

  The other fact is that the Qosmio Player is not Windows-based applications and you cannot start if Windows. If Windows is running while you use MCE (Media Center) instead of Qosmio player.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Are you sure that your G20 was delivered with a DVB - T tuner and analogue TV tuner not only 100%?
  As far as I know the g-20 was delivered with a different hardware configuration

  But if you camera supports DVB - T tuner, so I think that digital signal is not strong enough to receive the digital channels.

  If you wish, you can consult this useful document on HDTV on MCE:

• Impossible to install webcam on Qosmio G20

  I tried in vain to set up a webcam on my Qosmio G20 - Windows Media Center Edition machine. Logitech drivers are not supported under WMCE. Does anyone know cameras compatible or third party circumvention software?

  Hello

  As far as I know Logitech stuff you can install anywhere without any problem. On your device you can install also. I guess that there is some message about driver not certified but click on continue and everything will be ok.

  Good bye
