• Installation of a second disk in the Qosmio F30

  Hi guys and girls :)

  I just bought the secondary hard drive for my Qosmio F30, but when I opened the drive Bay, I found that I have a problem with the installation of the drive on my hands.

  First of all, I tried to put the new drive in the Bay and press down lightly to connect with power and data connectors sata and it works perfectly, but it is impossible to move the laptop around since the disc is a bit loose in the Bay and I'm worried a little for my data and the drive itself.

  Then, I opened the first Bay and noticed that original Toshiba drive is kept in place with the help of some mount thin metal plate, which is set on the disk and the Bay with a few screws.

  I checked the Web for any revision of the F30 model that might have pictures of the Bay secondary in his State and found a few. See the photos of the same thing Im. Check this one out, it clearly shows the high Bay (sata connectors are right and not visible):

  Note a small screw hole on the left side of the Bay, clearly intended to fix the mounting plate similar with hdd secondary on the laptop. The plate which is, unfortunately, not included with my computer.

  Did someone here had the same problem and if so, how to solve?

  Hello

  As you have already said the HARD drive need a special framework that maintains the 2.5 HARD drive in the Bay.
  This frame and the screws required, you can order directly from the authorized service provider who is responsible for your country.

  I recommend talking to these guys here and explain what you need.

  Best regards

• Questions about the Qosmio F30-141 and OS

  Hello!
  I intend to get laptop Qosmio F30-141, but after purchase I want to replace an operational system on Linux Fedora Core, and with she would like to know, if properly supported by the given operating system this model (supported wi - fi particularly interested), or recommend another model?

  Thank you

  The problem could be that the Toshiba does not support Linux drivers and you will have to search in internet and 3 third-party Web sites compatible and supported drivers!
  Besides computers laptop Toshiba supports several tools and utilities that enables the features of the laptop.
  I imagine that you will not be able to use these features as FN keys for example

• Replacement of the Qosmio F30-117

  Any body knows how to get full 60 GB of space on the secondary hard drive.

  I sent my laptop to be repaired because the hard drive was faulty. Now I'm back and I tried to re - install recovery disc. Due to the clear instruction how to use the recovery CD, I run the CD two or three times. But when I checked both drives it software installed on it without using the RAID option. I formatted the D: / in car, but it displays 55.8 GB instead, 60 GB and the disk label changed to blue where, like the rest of the labels are black.

  Has anyone come across this type of problem please advice me what can I do

  AFAIK the Qosmio Player is installed on a partition of hiding.
  Maybe that's why some GB are missed.

  In the user manual, you will find lots of info on the RAID and installation.
  Check it out.
  I also find something that when you use RAID-1 (mirrored), the operating system recognizes the reduced ability to 2 hard drives.

• Can I connect Xbox on the Qosmio F30?

  Hello

  As far as I know you it s possible to connect the new Xbox 360 for the Qosmio G20. But I put t see any reasons why it shouldn't t works with F30.

  The F30 has also comes with MCE 2005.

• Update BIOS on the Qosmio F30 - ACPI problem

  I've updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Qosmio F30 - 140 and I have issues with the management of ACPI.

  When I try to run Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10, I see constantly typed characters - "^ [[B ', which cancel all important processes.
  When I add "acpi = off" option to GRUB the problem seems not apear, but I do not have access to important features (like changing the brightness of the display). How to solve this problem?

  Hi Kojot89,
  first: "never touch a running system", but you already know...

  with this new bios, you have enabled some features of the motherboard...
  Try this:
  -turn off acpi in the bios mode, if possible
  -patch your kernel to use the acpi features
  - or disable the use of the features of acpi by boot-cheats

  as you say the problem doesn't exist when starting with "acpi = off".
  display brightness and the cooling of the processor are the main features of acpi to save energy, if your kernel can not handle
  check_acpi_ignore = 1 might be a way to make it work

  way the easiest way is to reinstall the system...

• Problem of graphics card on the Qosmio F30

  My laptop is Qosmio F30-140 (PQF32E).

  After that I installed a Wolfenstin game and run the laptop shutdown suddenly, and has not responded and when I restart, it shows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).
  I thought it was the RAM. I checked and it is fine. I have re-installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit, but the BSOD problem is always shown and I can t reach or get into windows.

  I ve changed windows to Win7 32 bit and I entered the windows and all is well but when I want to install the driver for my graphics card and restart the laptop the BSOD appears again and I can't get into windows.

  Please advise me. Is - this hardware problem or only the registry must be amended :(?

• Question about the Qosmio F30-140 system memory

  I have a Qosmio F30-140 NB (to 667 MHz front side bus) and it has 1024 MB (533 MHz) DDR2 memory.
  If I want to increase the size of the memory, can I use DDR2 667 MHz for my NB type? and if this is true can I remove the type of DDR2 533 MHz or we as well as usef type of 667 MHz (no conflict).
  Please notify.

  THX

  Hello

  Surely, you can mix the modules. It will work because the 667 Mhz Module itself slower clock down to the FSB of the module installed in the system. So if you install another module of 667 Mhz, the frontsidebus must run at 667 Mhz Mhz and not at 533 Mhz. (I guess)

  But you can mix, which will not fail.

• Recovery after that hibernation is too long on the Qosmio F30

  Hello

  I use my Qosmio F30 laptop about 3 years and still have the same problem. Recovery of Windows after hibernation, it takes about 1 to 1.3 minutes long. Of course it is not too much, but I see how quickly rescind my other two books, with a lower and more good configuration cheap than the Qosmio.

  Their recovery time is only 15 to 25 seconds. Where the problem may be?

  I noticed that when the recovery starts, it will quickly about 2-3 seconds, and HDD LED at the moment is bright lighting. But then the progress freezes and continues slowly, and the HARD Drive LED lights more weak, it flashes just with a very fast rate. I think perhaps it means that problems on the HARD drive, maybe it works in mode "snail" at this time there and goes to normal work only after complete recovery?

  Please help, I can't solve this problem on my own.

  PS: Sorry for the bad English, it is not my mother tongue.

  I checked that my pre-installed Vista Satellite P200 and the resumption after hibernation is about 55 seconds. Several applications are open. 1 minute is theoretically OK.
  Your other laptops are not known to me and I can't say anything about it.

  Using Vista too?
  You close all running applications before using hibernation mode?

  Hello

  your machine has a RAID controller, so before installing windows, you must install the RAID controller before. This occurs after you´ve began installing XP. Then a message on the bottom of the screen will appear that tells you that you must press F6 if you install HARD drive controllers (or something that way).
  You need to install the RAID driver from a USB floppy drive, which can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  After you have installed the driver for your drive HARD will be displayed, and you would be able to install XP.
