• Installation of Linux on Qosmio G20 - RAID refusing hard drive detection

  Hello
  Did anyone had success in installing linux on the qosmio g20? I have two drives of 80 GB each. RedHat Setup is unable to detect the readers for me. I realize account I need a driver disk to get, maybe this works - drivers who do I really need - there are tons of SATA drives - or maybe about it, I'm going the wrong way - any help will be apprecitaed.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I didn t try to install Linux on Qosmio G20 but friend of mine told me he has success using Suese 9.3 because there is also the RAID (Redundant Array of inexpensive (or independent) Disks). On this way, you can use two drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance / fault tolerance is the ability of a system to respond gracefully to a hardware or software failure unexpected.

  Sorry but I have no more information.

• Gray glittering color screen on Qosmio G20-120

  Hello
  I have a problem very confusing with my new Qosmio G20 - 120.
  I can see vague and wink on my screen when the brightness is set to 2 or 3 levels under the maximum, and the background of the display is set to dark grey (or other color non-black)
  This effect disappears when the brightness of the display is set up, but you know, I can't work with the maximum brightness all the time, because my eyes get tired very quickly in this case, especially in the evening.
  I saw the other G - Series 17 "notebooks and noticed the same problem.
  Is it possible hardware problem or this is common for Qosmio 17 "poster?

  Hello

  I never heard the show. The fact is that you can change the brightness of the screen on many laptops Toshiba, but I've never heard or seen of wave or nod to the screen. I m not sure if it s only your vision or it s a really a display error (FL-UPS).
  If you are not sure of the fault, then take the unit to your local dealer or contact the service of Toshiba.

• How to install Linux in Windows 8?

  I bought a new laptop and I was happy, until I turned it on. It was not an option to access the BIOS, when I started first, I noticed. Then I followed the installation of Windows 8, everything was going well (except for the part that I want to talk). I put in my x 64 Arch Linux cd, restarted Windows 8... There is still no option to access the BIOS. NO BIOS. I paid $ 700 for this laptop, but it doesn't have a BIOS. I think I've paid enough to receive a BIOS. Well, back to the story. The arch Linux installation menu doesn't start, but a windows 8. I tried the CD on my other laptop and it worked. I searched Google for hours and I found answer he. UEFI. It's sad. I found the answer: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/20303.html but I'm afraid that this method may not work and break the whole system. If it breaks the stupid windows will break and if windows case I have no computer. THANK YOU MICROSOFT.

  -

  Anyway, anyone know how to install Linux in Windows 8? I intend to remove Windows 8 once I do it because Windows 8 is inflated and it will be a waste of space and partitions.

  Well I have not played with Arch Linux so I can't help, I mentioned only what I did with Ubuntu.
  But I was wondering why there is no BIOS - I have a DELL Studio with Windows 8 Professional and I can easily boot into BIOS.

  See if you can help the following:--

• 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.
