  > 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: I'll lose all reinstall operating system restore CD downloads

  I installed Vista on my laptop Qosmio G20 and am happy with how it works.
  If I use the recovery cd I lose all my I-Tunes downloads while reinstalling the operating system XP?

  You will lose if all downloads are saved on the C partition. Before recovery procedure starts the HARD drive (or chooses the partition) will be formatted and all data will be gone.

  Because of this data backup and install WXP using the recovery DVDs delivered.

• Qosmio G20 with Intervideo WinDVR3

  Hello

  I have a laptop Qosmio G20/395LS (purchased at the Japan) that since I converted to English Windows XP Pro SP2. I then downloaded all the drivers from Toshiba on the site of Toshiba UK, choosing the Qosmio PQG20, which is the closest model from my Japanese version. (The Toshiba to the Japan site is not all drivers available for download, that's why I used the site of Toshiba UK.)

  In any case, all functions work perfectly, except that I canoe use Intervideo WinDVR3 to watch television. It recognizes the Composite inputs and S-video but not the antenna TV input option. I have a normal TV antenna cable connected to the Qosmio and can watch TV with other software such as Qosmio Player, Windows Media Center and same Intervideo Home Theater. But not with WinDVR3 (Im using the latest version downloaded from the Web site of Interviodeo.) I don't like Windows Media Center or Intervideo Home Theater and Qosmio Player not use that by cutting off the power supply, so I defintely want to use Intervideo WinDVR.

  I contacted Intervideo, and they said that my hardware is certainly consistent, but I must have the correct WDM driver installed for the TV Tuner to operate correctly the WinDVR. Im not sure what is a WDM driver, but looks like I need to download the correct driver for the TV Tuner on this Qosmio.

  I checked Toshiba Japan website, but I saw no TV Tuner driver to download it. Ive tried a few of the drivers TV Tuner for the different models on the Web sites of UK and US Toshiba, but WinDVR still does not recognize the option antenna TV.

  Can someone point me to the right driver WDM driver that I need to get this software WinDVR3 will?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't recommend that you install the graphics drivers 3rd or any additional graphics accelerator. This may damage the video card or the motherboard.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find all the WDM drivers. Only the Tv tuner and graphics drivers.

  I don't know if the WinDVR is supported by Mr. antenna interface I've never checked.
  However, I found this site. If you wish, you can consult this site on WDM driver:

• Qosmio G20 issue - Codec of Capture / Capture a bound program

  Hello guys and girls!

  Recently I bought the laptop Qosmio G20 102 and I am very satisfied with it because I found many flaws that annoy me in my work. Now, I am addressing those who might be kind enough to help me with the biggest problem of all.

  Provided laptop preinstalled with software of InterVideo WinDVR5 which are used to capture video from any source there, as a Composite, antenna and S-video. WinDVR uses mpeg codec to compress the raw data in process, overview and mpg files that you can save later.

  Question: can you change the capture codec or software?

  Why?

  Codec is a bit outdated in terms of video editing. Much more than other codec mpeg on the market and it creates 'blocking effect' in some digital editing software like the first Vegas at the controls of speed or effects are used, and I use them a lot the quality of compressed video is degraded. With the help of divx, xvid, mjpeg codec would be much better to capture video at this level and would really be 'the art of smart entertainment.

  InterVideo WinDVR5 is provided specially for Toshiba laptops with TV tuner or composite input. The software is great. I use version 3 on my desktop and I am totally satisfied. Unlike the version 3 on my desk, on-board version 5 on my laptop do not change the settings for video quality. He's stuck in normal and it didn't budge.

  So, I have way, is there a way to answer my question in the means to change the codec or capture software, or even something else?

  Hello Marko

  It is very nice that you are satisfied with your device. G20 is a very nice unit and hope I'll get it one day too. Back to your problem. I don t want to write much more just a short explanation. Like other laptop manufacturers Toshiba preinstall some deaf for users, but it is just a limited Version limited. These applications are suitable for Toshiba.

  In my opinion, there are basic functions and the user can test the software. If the software is good the user must purchase a full version with all the functions. If you n t like them, it can be removed and each user can install their favorite software.

  I understand you want to edit your videos but I put t think that there is a possibility to change anything.

  In my opinion, you need to install your favorite applications (full version) and on this way, you will be able to capture videos as you want. On this path, it would be 'the art of smart entertainment.

  Good luck!

• Qosmio G20: Questions on MCE Recovery CD/DVD

  A few months back, I bought this laptop Qosmio G20. It s cool. I live in Asia where media center edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can someone tell me if it is possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where I could get a recovery cd/dvd edition of Media Center? What is the procedure to install Media Center Edition of restore cd if I get a? And someone wants to share their media center edition cd recovery with me would be great.

  pls contact me on this email address [email protected]

  Thank you very much (:)

  Hello Anand

  AFAIK only devices with tuner TV have installed MCE and you can get the MCE OS recovery CD if you bought it with the Toshiba unit. If your laptop comes with Windows XP Home you can only get this form of recovery CD service partner. However, you can use the original cd of Microsoft Windows MCE. Then you can try to download all of the necessary drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Qosmio G20 - blue Volume Indication bar does not work under Vista

  Hey guys,.

  would really appreciate your help on this. 2 days ago I decided to upgrade my laptop Qosmio G20 for vista (I know I don't need to hear all the problems of Vista, but I had to do). in any case, after a lot of problems (missing drivers, windows known glitches etc), I managed to get it up and running again. At least it's functions.

  All Toshiba equipment are missing because they are not compatible with vista. I found the drivers of replacement etc. and solved most of the problems. I have not yet solved the blue volume indication bar inoperative led, located just on the right side of the touch pad. It s simply stating an indication of fake volume and its not changing at all with any volume control. The green on the screen volume bar is also missing.

  Any of you have any idea how to solve the problems?

  Thank you very much

  Anthony

  Hello Anthony

  I assume that you have already noticed the Qosmio G20 isn t that supported by Vista. So I can believe you had problems to find all the missing stuff, but if the Vista works well now you should not focus on the little things.
  Exact managed and controlled by Toshiba designed tools and utility functions.
  If they are not available, I have gift opportunity see t to solve this problem.

  Hi ismael,.
  I'll try to help with that, but it's a long way to the road...
  I don't know what Tv system is used to Malta (Pal)?

  The best way to set up your TV's with Media Center 2005 edition.
  Cables:
  Check the back of your cable TV installation box and find the composite or SVHS output. If you have only the composite, you can use the composite cable of the posted image. If your TV decoder has the SVHS, so you should use, to the better image than composite. You must obtain a SVHS cable for this.
  Look for the audio output rca, too. Mix with the composite cable for the audio Qosmio.

  But you must have:
  1 control cable IR, for media center 2005 configuration as well as your TV decoder. It is cable connected to the remote sensor (see fact sheet on the back).

  2 sensor for your remote control and configure it with the remote control of your TV decoder. In this way, you can control the receiver cable channels, using the remote control for your Qosmio G20 media center edition.
  Recovery: you can change the channels on your TV decoder using the qosmio remote control.

  3. remote control for you media Center 2005, one that came with your Qosmio g20.

  Open the TV on Media Center 2005 configuration and follow all the steps required for installation.
  You must follow the guide, as is explained in the image you posted:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/Setup/SetTop.mspx

  If you have all these cables, you can use the Qosmio player to watch TV. It is not tied to windows OS.
  Here, simply connect the coaxial cable and let the Qosmio player search for available channels in your area. Qosmio player has the opportunity to set the colour TV system in any part of the world. all NTSC regions in all PAL regions.
  If you have the remote control for your Qosmio, TV keys will work directly with the Qosmio remote sensor on board, without needing the external sensor of Microsoft.

  I hope this helps you

• Essential B keyboard Qosmio G20

  Hi all

  I am a new user on the forum and I hope someone can help.
  I have a new laptop qosmio g20, I'm having a problem when I'm typing email or by using the word etc., when I use the key b within a word in a sentence, it moves the cursor and begins to enter the text remaining in a different place. For example, I typed this note as soon as I typed the word problem he inserted "lem after"I a new»»
  As I touch type do not notice until all the words are scrambled is driving me crazy.

• Start Qosmio G20 problem

  I have laptop Qosmio G20, I got error message that my WinXP lost some system files and did not start. I tried to start Windows XP again (I lost the rescue floppy), but my Installer hunged up after 1 minute.

  I tried several other bootable disks including Linux but failed. I suspect this problem in BIOS, I downloaded the BIOS from the Toshiba site, but I have not found all the files PDF with instruction how to create bootable CDs for update of the BIOS listed on the Toshiba site.

  Maybe the problem is in CD/DVD recorder.
  What other way to start my Qosmio G20, I have no USB floppy?

  What do you think of hard drive? Is also possible that you have problems with hard drive?

• 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.

• Clean OS installation problem on Qosmio G20 111

  YOU HAVE PURCHASED A QOSMIO G20 AND I WANTED TO DO A CLEAN XP INSTALL
  SINCE THE SECOND DISK (D) NO CD.
  I CHANGED THE FILE SYSTEM FROM NTFS TO FAT32 ON THE TWO HARD DRIVES.
  THE FIRST STEP OF COPYING THE FILES FROM THE SECOND DRIVE (D) TO THE
  FIRST HDD (C) SE PAST WELL, BUT WHEN IT RESTARTS TO COMPLETE THE
  INSTALLATION IT STOPS SAYING - MAYBE A VIRUS O OTHER USE CHEK DISC OPTION.

  AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

  ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

  Hello

  As far as I know Windows XP needs a file NTFS format the hard drive.
  Why you changed the file system format? The chkdsk message usually occurs due to defective files or sectors of HARD disk system.
  I recommend you to install the OS on the NTFS format.
  Have you checked if Ca? s possible to start the process of recovery from the recovery CD?

• Screen is blank when Qosmio G20 starts up

  When I turn on my Qosmio G20-110 I hear the usual chimes and on my LCD backlight lights up but nothing else on the screen.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you plugged an external monitor to the laptop? Maybe it s something wrong with the display internal and so you can see anything on this subject. It s worth a try because you can check this in a few minutes.

  But I guess that it s a hardware problem with the display internal and/or mainboard or something other than your laptop must be verified in professional people, they can disassemble the laptop and exchanging parts of equipment.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest service provider authorized good luck!

• Qosmio G20-114 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20-114 that no longer starts. No display.

  It turns on, the fan starts and you can hear the movement of HARD drive, but there is no display (not even if I plug in an external monitor).

  It was Windows XP. All of a sudden stopped working for no apparent warning, no blue screen or the warning signs.

  When I turn on the laptop I get a few lights on the keyboard space. (The light above the icon of TV, two lights and the light above the icon for media player, the power button just below the arrows)

  I was surfing the internet all day for a solution and tried most of the workarounds proposed, for example; Take the battery and the charger out, leave for 10 minutes and then only replace the charger and try to switch on. Also; Remove a strip of RAM (and trade) and remove all the RAM. Still no luck, however.

  I had an internal beep of her, but only once, it was 3 Quick beeps. Nothing since.

  I'm willing to try any suggestion, although I like to keep the files on the HARD drive because of family photos and which do not.

  All suggestions greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  A frustrated user of Toshiba.

  AW_1

  I think your problem is not how to save data to the HARD drive. You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the other laptop using the 2.5 external HARD drive enclosure.
  HARD drive will be recognized as external device and you should have full access to all stored data.
  Do this if possible.

  On this virtual path it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what can be the problem, but I assume that the LCD is maybe defective.

  Start your laptop and wait a while. Connect your laptop to an external device, and then try to use the FN + F5 key combination. Just to see if you will be able to switch between mode of laptops LCD and external monitor.
