  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.

• Qosmio F30-140: cannot install Windows operating system-> no. HDD

  I bought the Qosmio F30-140 and I can't install Windows XP from my original cd: / recovery cd works fine but it installs a bunch of stuff I didn't need if I want a clean install...

  so when I run my winXP cd Setup program I get the error message: "Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer..."

  Although I can run windows normally which is installed from the CD of restoration... I think it's something with the hard disk drivers.

  How can I overcome this? Thanks in advance :)

  Hello Sarunas

  There s nothing wrong! Nothing with HARD drive or other hardware!
  You have just installed the RAID driver
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains the RAID driver and so you can install it without any problem.
  But the Windows CD contains no such driver and therefore the RAID driver must be installed at the beginning of the configuration of Windows installation procedure.

  Windows will ask you 3 RAID driver. The RAID driver, you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver. Download it on the floppy drive and connect the external USB FDD drive.
  From there, you will be able to install the RAID driver.

  Good luck..

  Hello

  Start-up of facilities you have to load the SATA driver. I think that your laptop has a Chipset Mobile Intel® GL960 Express with code CrestlineGM + ICH8-M name.

  When WXP facilities charge ICH8 SATA driver. You can find it under http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/stormng-20070827133046.zip

• Qosmio F30-140: No Tuner TV with Windows XP Professional

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F30-140 unpacking for computer laptop, I bought a Windows Xp professional, but unfortunately I can't see a TV Tuner and I do not know how to handle this problem? And the second thing I have a problem with Qosmio player too.
  It's everyone knows how to handle this?

  Certainly, the Qosmio G30-140 supports a DVB-T/hybrid TV tuner.
  What do you mean you can't see the Tv tuner?
  Have you installed all necessary drivers?

  And what are the problems with Qosmio player?

  The laptop came with MCE.
  Install the OS from recovery CD and connect the cable to antenna on the Qosmio and search for channels to MCE!

• Qosmio F30-140 does support 64-bit Windows operating systems

  Hello

  Qosmio F30-140 does support windows XP/Vista 64 - bit operating systems, and if so, where can I find 64-bit drivers?
  THX

  Qosmio F30 supports the 64 bit OS. This means that you can install it, but the problem is that you will not find Original Toshiba 64-bit drivers or tools because the 64-bit operating systems are not supported by Toshiba at this time.

  Hello

  > How can I activate the laptop to boot from usb memory flash with source of windows 7
  I think that's not the MAN of functions;
  I m not 100% sure, but I think that this BIOS does not support booting from SD card reader.
  But why you don t try to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

  If I understand your question, the external LCD is recognized correctly.
  Go into the BIOS and set the external monitor as the primary monitor.
  Then, you should be able to see everything.

• New update of added value package is available for Qosmio F30-140

  Hello everyone.

  I was wondering if Toshiba had released a new version of package of added value that is compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit for Qosmio F30-140?

  To check, if Toshiba published new versions of the extra value package, drivers or BIOS, refer to the following page:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  But, in my view, that nothing new has been posted, yet.

• Qosmio F30-140 - Windows7 cannot find the HDD - SATA storage

  Hello

  I've got Qosmio F30-140 and I tried to install Windows 7, but as usual windows 7 found no preparations.

  So I hope to find a solution with someone.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The Qosmio F30 supports the RAID controller.
  You must therefore RAID driver and not the driver SATA.

  You can consult the page of the European driver Toshiba. There is a RAID driver for the Vista operating system.
  You can try to use it under Win 7.

  If this does not work you can disable RAID in BIOS.
  I think you might find these settings on the 3rd page of the BIOS.

There after I ve discovered that s keyboard buttons in the library and the remote responds does not and does not control panel. I had tests to recover by Qosmio player recovery CD, but unfortunately all attempts have failed.

  Please help me solve this problem, because I am deprived of my remote control, in which I so need.

  As for you and best regards.
  Dr.VugarVali

  Hello

  Looks like you have just messed the whole OS.
  Use and relocation of the recovery CD Qosmio Player will not allow Toshiba cotroll buttons and remote control.

  In you case reinstalling the driver would be desirable; Start with Manager common Module, controls, remote control.

  If it does not help the use of CD recovery Toshiba does wonders! ;)

  But note; Don t forget to back up your data because the recovery CD formats the HARD drive!

• Re: Graphics Qosmio F30-140 - need latest driver nVidia

  The Qosmio F30-140 comes with an integrated Nvidia GeForce Go 7600.

  I looked on the Nvidia site to find an update for the video driver, but they said that updates for laptop cards are given on their site of manufacturers.

  But I couldn't find an update as well on the toshiba site.

  Please notify. I need a video driver updated for the game named PURE because currently I can't see models of players in the game and PURE support said the problem is that a release date of the video driver. \

  Help, please.

  Hello

  On the Toshiba driver graphics drivers are always the latest drivers available for the unique laptop series.
  The point is that graphics drivers from Toshiba are not the same thing as original manufacturers GPU graphics drivers.

  Anyway, is there a way to install the driver nVidia GPU.
  You could install from Device Manager and that you use the Advanced installation.
  Then choose; + Don t find. I will choose the driver to install. +
  Then, you must point to the driver that you downloaded from the NVidia site.

  But note; No driver installation gone 3rd in ONLY at your own RISK!
  Using the nVidia drivers can overheat and damage the graphics chip.

• Upgrading RAM on Qosmio F30-140

  Hello world
  My Qosmio F30 - 140 maximum expansion memory is 4 096 MB, but when I installed 4 GB (2 X 2 GB Transcend SODIMM 667 MHz) RAM, the operating system can it recognized as only 3.25 GB. The Bios still shows that I have 4 096 MB of RAM.
  So why Windows cannot show the size of RAM?

  Hello

  4 GB of RAM support depends on not only the operating system.

  To use the full 4 GB of RAM, BIOS, Chipset and the operating system must support the 4 GB.
  If one of the parts mentioned would not provide the capacity of 4 GB, then you would not be able to use it.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Card of Qosmio F30-140 is scalable?

  The Qosmio F30-140 comes with a Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 equipped factory.

  Hi mate,

  Unfortunately, the VGA chip cannot be replaced since it s "wired" on the motherboard, which means that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard.
  If you want to replace it you will have a soldering station, which costs probably above 13,000 bucks and a team that knows in soldering BGA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array) and maybe you have plans of engineering for the motherboard and and it wouldn't hurt to have at least two programmers for the creation of a new BIOS, which implies that you have some connections to Toshiba Japan because the BIOS is not a FRIEND, it s one or Phoenix BIOS toshiba which has its own characteristics and I Don t know a soul who managed to enter the structure of such a Toshiba BIOS.

  I hope I was able to clear your mind. :)
