JBOD Qosmio G20 - could not initialize the disk of 320 GB - 1RAID-0

Hello, comrades Toshiba users,
at first, I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I did not find the answer to my problem.

One of my colleagues has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB drives. Big 17-inch "surf-board-sized" computers laptops are not my cup of tea, but the Qosmio him quite well served.
We tried to upgrade the two hard drives of aging in his laptop. With considerable experience in replacing the readers of the laptop, I didn't expect no particular surprise, but I was wrong.

We tried to replace the original disks
Bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, System
2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off the coast of the Bay

with the new
Bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio
WD Scorpio 2: 320 GB drive Bay.

The BIOS of the G20 is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes new readers-, but one of the new marking as 1RAID-0 disks fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320 GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of the G20 of BIOS, there is a disk activity, but the drive remains in JBOD mode.

Unable to mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320 GB drive as a system disk.

If the original system drive is cloned on a new 320 GB drive, that it does not start. Starting XP * begins * but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when the Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows startup.
Plain vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed windows installation driver Toshiba, impossible rest. Installing Windows don't "see" drive in Bay 2.

When the drive system is put in the high Bay and G20 is started from it, Windows XP starts correctly. The drive in Bay 1 is accessable from Windows, however, remains offline in the RAID from Toshiba console. If the start player in Bay 2 is not an option, too.

A similar problem, where the owner could not install a system of 200 GB drive is described here
Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
The owner, however managed to install a 100 GB drive and we have resorted to 80 GB of disk as a system disk and the only player upgrade in Bay 2 to 320 GB.

I understand what happens when the disk is 'initialized' in the BIOS. Only brands of BIOS of Toshiba disk 1RAID-0, and it breaks down on 320 GB drive. I will refrain from expressing my opinion on this practice.

My question is - if it is possible, how * manually * mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0?
Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also know the disc more large size which * can * be marked with success under the name of 1RAID-0 at BIOS G20.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I m not 100% sure, what could be wrong by presumably 320 HARD drive size might be too big!
How about the 100 GB or 120 GB hard drives?

I think you should consider it because usually most of the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.

But note; using the configuration of 1RAID-0 (striping), met by the operating system size is twice more only if the smaller of the two HARD drives in RAID configuration. Using RAID-0, all data on both disks will be lost, even if it is training of two disks fails.

  • Qosmio G20 - could not get the video to display on the LCD screen

    I have a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20, running Windows XP MCE.

    The DVD player on board isn't sounds very well so I thought I would plug an external DVD drive to expand its use. After a lot of internet research, I finally found how to do this. Here's my setup.

    Using the monitor port I used the adapter 3 RCA jacks. (There is no S-video on the DVD drive and an adapter did not work). I finally discovered that in order to get the image on the screen, I have to use Fn + 4. Now, here's where I'm having the problem. I can't get the video to display on my external LCD. FN + 5 didn't do. The monitor is an I - inc AH191D and is connected by VGA cable. There is no driver other than the one for the VISTA operating system... That is why it is not anywhere in the Device Manager.
    Here are the settings I use in order to have all that shows on my desk, shows on the monitor.

    In Control Panel open to the screen. Properties
    Number chosen 1 - multiple monitors GeForce Go6600 video card...
    Advanced under
    the GeForce G06600 tab,
    nViewDisplay Mode: clone 1 a 1 b
    The main screen: digital flat screen
    Secondary display: AH191

    I also tried using the properties of controls on Toshiba. He says under TV output TV output but gives options of the program, but I don't know what I would use. Any ideas out there?

    Wait I'm confused, if you try to send the output of your external DVD drive in the laptop, and then display the image on an external monitor attached to laptop?

    If you use the DVD player on your laptop, it will be good quality S-video as a signal of low resolution.

    Is there something wrong with the DVD player?

    If it's just the DVD software you don't like, you can download other DVD players. PowerDVD is excellent, its better than WinDVD and other players in my opinion.

  • get the message "could not initialize the browser security component" offers solutions does not

    I get a message "could not initialize the browser security component" more a screen empty. 5 solutions offered in aid, only to create a new profile help, but this helps only for this session! So, I'll have to create a new profile each time I start Firefox. This means not favourites, without Add-ons (they require a reboot), etc. I even tried to delete the profile by default, but it does not help. The new profile is deleted whenever I start. What should I do?

    I've done this several times. The new profile would work for a single session. Each time, Firefox (or something) would remove the new profile, so he did not; I'm done with the default profile, which was obviously altered. Here's what finally worked. Of after your 1st answer, I saw that the other profiles exist as subfolders in the profiles folder, even if they were not listed when I did firefox.exe - p. So, I got the idea to uninstall Firefox and see if these files were still there. And they were! In fact, records of Mozilla, Firefox and profiles had not deleted with uninstall. I deleted the files, re-installed and now I'm fine and write for Firefox. So, if someone continues to have problems with a corrupted profile, suggest to uninstall and then deleting all records related to Firefox that are left behind.

    First I tried to update it... but no update not found

    Then I tried to uninstall and then reinstall...

    then I tried to uninstall the driver then restarting my computer hoping that vista would detect the problem and repair automatically, it did reinstall the driver but it does not always work with the same problem...

    I even tried to download some programs that said they would fix it, but all these just told me that the pilot was already up to date...

    I need this problem as soon as POSSIBLE, so I could really use some help!

    Did you check the physical connection of the drive to see if a cable can be are detached?

    You can test the DVD player by installing it in another computer to see if the device has failed? Reader Orpossiblyanother who is known to try in your computer?
