• 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.

  Good bye

• 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?

• Qosmio G20 = video cable component and videos in high definition with Pinnacle

  Dear everybody
  I bought my Qosmio G20-120 of the Poland that came with D video cable SCART. This cable is only capable of transferring video signals (CVBS) which is pretty useless, because Qoismio already has a S-video out... What is the best simple video production I can get to SCART.
  According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio is supposed to have video output component. But it comes with cable SCART instead. I always try to make this component video cable D-video of the Distributor. If I don't succeed, does anyone know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a video component with the D-video out D-video cable with cable SCART?
  Everyone last tried the channels high definition DVB-S on Qoismio using USB 2.0 DVB - S TV Card.Any opinions on Pinnacle PCTV 400e?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but I don t agree with you. SCART in my opinion is always better than S-Video. As far as I know cable SCART can transfer image and sound and picture just S-Video. Am I wrong?

  In my view, it's great that laptop Qosmio has two video ports and each use can make a choice.

  Another way your ad is a bit confusing to me. Qosmio G20 includes a section on the port (D-video) and as far as I know the original cable must be provided. You can see on this page http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm

  Using this cable you can easily connect your laptop to the TV.

• Qosmio G20: XP Installation disk & SATA USB

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Qosmio G20 and I have the following problem:
  When I try to install new windows using the SATA drivers via the floppy USB drive as a process of installing classic XP SATA drivers are needed 2 times:

  First time as usual, you will need to press F6 to specify drivers via the USB floppy drive, that this is no problem. The works of diskettes.

  Afterworlds it is the second time that when the same SATA drivers are required from diskette (drive A :). After the selection of the 1 install Windows XP blue screen 3 options, before the first reboot. The installation starts copying the files required for the instillation process and asks AGAIN COPY THE SATA DRIVERS for more usage of the system.

  On this stage the USB Floppy is see inaccessible computer cant that it has USB floppy A:.
  So I can't continue with installing XP because for the next reboot is no SATA driver and no hard drive is detected.

  I tried this several ways and several versions of XP Setup, but the same result.

  Please tell me how to fix the problem will be updated firmware available which can see the USB floppy plugged into this scene.

  Kind regards
  Konstantin

  Hello

  Did you install the RAID driver?
  Well, I put t know if it because of this problem, but as much as I know the Toshiba RAID driver must be added during the installation, when prompt to 'press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

  To do this, please download the Toshiba RAID driver from the web page of Toshiba driver download and extract the zip to a disk file. Connect the floppy drive to your computer before starting the installation.

  The Setup program continues until you are asked if you want to "S = specify additional device. Press' and specify the driver Toshiba Raid for XP or 2000 as required.
  Press 'Enter' to continue the installation.

  When you use Windows Setup to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process.

  Please tell me if you have resolved the problem.

• Graphics driver installation problems - Qosmio G20 PQG21

  Try to install the latest graphics driver (available on the website of toshiba in the United Kingdom) produces an error message this file NV4_mini.sy is unreadable, even if it's there. Any ideas?

  I tried several times to download and decompression in various places. Incidentally, do toshiba have no technical support at all, or is it left to their customers to provide free of charge to each other - they don't seem to have any method of contact on their site?

  Have you downloaded the graphics driver on the right for the right OS and you're sure you Qosmio G20's series of PQG21?

  Try to download the driver from this page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  The installation process is very easy. After the decompression of the files, you must start the setup.exe or if missing the setup.exe, you can install the diver from the Device Manager.

• XP installation on a hard drive SATA Qosmio G20

  HELP HELP HELP!
  Hi all

  I think I had the same problem of many of you and I'm a little desperate.

  I have a Qosmio G20 that come with XP home but I need to install XP pro that I own.
  I tried following the instructions online Toshiba (driver on floppy disk), but never worked.

  After reading your advice I tried with an ISO image created with nlite, including drivers, but did not work...

  I also did write to Toshiba, but so far no response from them and I have the Qosmio lying there and I can't use it!

  I'm kind of desperate too because I can't use the laptop as the XP Home installed is corrupt!

  Please can someone give me help!

  Hello

  As I know the image designed to the Japan isn't the same as it is in Europe and you should check if you can find a RAID driver designed to Japan for your device. I hope that it won't be difficult.

  It is really possible to have the problem because of it.

  Good luck!

• Problems with Qosmio G20 and SuSE Linux 10.3 installation

  Hello

  I can't install SuSE Linux 10.3, because the hard drive will not be detected.
  I think it's the Software Raid... in the BIOS are only the options of Raid 0 and JBOD. When I changed to JBOD, it says I need to install the new os.
  Windows XP Professional is installed on the computer and I want to have a system to dual-boot with Open SuSE 10.3.
  How can I solve the problem?

  MfG

  Man... that's a really complicated problem.

  First of all, please consult this site unofficial toshiba official: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/pc/QosG20_report.htm

  West a complete report on your machine where all material etc. are described. The two entries on the bottom of the site describe the problem that you have.

  Another good friend called 'google' redirected me [THIS | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574116] site.

  You see, it s a problem since your RAID controller is not correctly recognized by some kernels/distributions.
  I have no perfect solution for you, but I propose to try another distro (since there are hundreds of them) who could probably work with your machine.

  The best would be to visit www.google.com and type something like "Qosmio G20 linux raid". Trust me, you will get many results. :)

  Keep rocking with linux ;)

• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

  Hello

  That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
  I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

  Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

  It worked well on my laptop.

  By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

  Have a nice day ;)

• Qosmio G20 screen of text or symbols on startup

  Qosmio G20 139, at the start of the Qosmio laptop appears and then it immediately goes into a screen of text or symbols. Is continuous to load see the Windows XP screen then displays vertical blue dotted, then goes to an error page showing the nonpaged page error error 0 x 00000050. Then restarts and goes around and does the same thing.

  I used the recovery disk and it worked fine for a few days the have reappeared.
  I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  Now reinstall drive does not load correctly.
  If a page comes up saying installation is not complete.

  > I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  How did you check that?
  Have you used a new test strips of memory and the new HARD drive?

  To be honest, I don t think that your HARD drive is affected. The vertical dotted lines, could be more related question of graphics card in terms of the HARD drive.
  RAM question could also be possible, but I think that its GPU.

  By the way: you are able to access the BIOS?
  Turn on the computer and press F2. Then leave the laptop in BIOS for a few hours to check if some problems arise.
  Would be interesting to know how the unit would be
