• Qosmio F20-136: how to install the software update for DVB TV device?

  Hi, I used the update all the drivers for my qosmio f20 136 11/07/06 and received various pilot updated on the list.
  The file called TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 at startup allows the pilot to TV TUNER directory listing and seems to be once I was the driver under System section and selected update driver and select this directory.

  My question is the another file called DVBTAHYB-QF20-XPMCE-1051340 when I click on the file that I just get a list of files, when I try the My TV driver update and choose this directory it won't find anything, does anyone know how to install that to update the file. The download list says they are two updates of tv pilot.

  Maybe Toshiba could include a text file explaining in detail how to install these files? Can anyone help please. And nobody knows which file to copy to save a permanent channel registration, so I could re install the file in the directory so lost the complete channel list?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Maybe I understood something wrong, but according to the prudence shown on the Toshiba download page, the TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 driver is designed for the range of models between F20-101 and F20 - 135.
  Are you sure that this disc is designed for your computer model laptop too?

  Have you tried to install the update of dvbtahyb-qf20-xpmce-1051340 when the original pilot of the TV (factory settings) is preinstalled?

• Qosmio F20-136 - Question about installing Linux in virtualization

  I have Windows XP MCE 2005, Ubuntu 8.10 & openSUSE 11.0 on my laptop F20-136 (triple boot).

  I intend to:

  0 save the partition Windows XP MCE 2005
  1. remove all the.
  2. install openSUSE w / Xen Virtualization.
  3. then create virtual machines to run backup Windows XP MCE 2005, new 8.10 of Ubuntu and other linux distributions.

  The questions are:
  1 F20-136 requires Windows XP MCE 2005 as its main operating system?
  I ask this question because I noticed that when I disable the builtin speakers in XP, I can't turn them on when I boot in openSUSE.
  So it seems to me that XP with Toshiba drivers and other software on Toshiba system has complete control over the material.

  2. will it affect Qosmio player?

  3. is there any other software virtualization is better than openSUSE w / virtualization Xen?
  I know MS Virtual PC, VMWare, VirtualBox.

  Please note that probably I don't want Windows XP MCE 2005 + virtualization (which will be my last option). I would like to have virtualization using Linux, openSUSE preference as he impressed me with his ability to (fast start/stop<= 45="">

  After further investigation, I think of virtualization VirtualBox which offers a bare metal solution, i.e. without operating system host is necessary.

  VitualBox (hypervisor) layer can be installed directly on the hardware, and then the virtual machines can be created for different operating systems.

  In this spirit, I have queries:

  Say I back up the entire hard drive (just in case the plan everything is the draw, I would restore the image of the entire hard drive), delete the contents of the entire disk, install VirtuaBox.

  1. let Qosmio player as well, which by my understanding, is 10 GB of free space somewhere on the hard drive?

  2. I would be able to install XP MCE recovery disk to create a virtual machine?

  Thank you

• How to watch movies on my TV via Qosmio F20-136?

  How can I the F20-136 by using the windows media Center to watch and listen to movies on my TV?

  It is very easy. Everything is explained in s operating manuals. You must use a video cable and connect your laptop to the TV. Using TV button you can switch to the TV only. Select the right channel of the TV and when you see the office here, you can start WinDVD player and watch movies.

  If you use the S-video cable, it is important to say that this cable can transfer the video signal only and if you want to get sound on TV you also need audio cable.

• F20-136: sometimes by car cannot read some CD or DVD

  Hi all

  I just bought a F20-136 and make me "event ID 11, category: CDROM ' errors in the event viewer. It is a mistake of the controller. The drive seems to read most discs, but sometimes it has trouble reading some discs and that's when the error occurs (this can happen with CD or DVD, pressed or burned).
  I also burned an image on a DVD-R which reads OK on the laptop but not on my desktop DVD. This laptop has the Mat * one years UJ-840 SuperMulti Drive.

  This sounds like a hardware problem?

  Hello Gary

  It is not easy to tell if there is a hardware problem. Your device is a new and, if there is no possibility, trying to contact the partner Service of your country. Explain the problem and let check the drive correctly. If there is a power outage, the warranty will cover the replacement costs.

• Qosmio F20-136: I have no restore CD?

  The Qosmio F20-136 laptop comes with a Windows CD I can't find one, don't know if its just on the recovery CD, but I think remember me there used to be a Microsoft Map with etc product key, I do not see to be able to find a.
  Thank you

  Hi Mike

  AFAIK the recovery CD provided with the device. On this CD, you will find a ghost image that includes a Windows operating system, drivers, and other applications as a Note.
  The product key for a Note that you will find on the cover of the recovery CD. In addition, you don't need to activate the Windows operating system because the imgages Toshiba are already activated.

  But maybe you have to create this image of yourself. In this case using Toshiba, you will find a function to burn clean recovery Image

• Qosmio F20-136 for Linux Suse 10 tv tuner drivers

• Qosmio F20-136: scanned TV guide channel - save the file so you can recharge?

  I have a Qosmio F20 - 136 running XP Media Center. My question is does anyone know the name of the file that has the channels scanned so that if I do a re scan and don't get all channels from the list, because of my reception antenna I can re - load the file on the system with a complete list?

  What happens, if I make a new analysis of the channels of television at home I don't get that nearly 20 tv channels, but if I take the laptop to work, where I guess it's a better reception from the transmitter, I travel 35 channels found. I would like to save the file when its 35 channels scanned and have the opportunity to replace it in the directory, if I do a re scan at home.

  Thank you.

  Hello Mike

  Your validation list is very impressive and you should be an expert Qosmio. ;)
  I have F20 too and I also noticed that I can't watch all the channels available on cable TELEVISION here at home.

  Have you already found something interesting about it?

• 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 F20-136: Question about upgrade memory

  I purchased a Qosmio F20-136 with 512 MB of on-board RAM, but wanted to update, so bought additional 512 MB RAM (DDR2) for a total of 1024 RAM.

  I said global PC sales guy I wanted only if the laptop has two slots.

  I took the cap of the other week and only 1 slot is visible to the naked eye.

  I do not go any further.

  Does anyone know if there are two slots or that one meaning that I have to buy a bar of 1 GB DDR2?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The Qosmio support two memory locations, and it should be possible to use 2 sticks of memory. You can upgrade the memory for max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo).
  The locations of memory, you will find at the bottom of the unit. To remove the small cover that secures the slot. Also see the user manual. You should also find a detail.

  PS: These modules of memory are supported:

  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
