Problem installing XP on Qosmio G50 with vista preinstalled

Hello everyone, just joined, and after a few navigation that I think will like this place.

I just purchased a Qosmio G50 10 with preinstalled Vista and I want to install XP on the second hard drive to have the double-boot. It starts good but after it finishes loading the drivers etc, it says "starting windows" and then I get a blue screen.

The installation CD is good. This laptop is new on the market and there is not much info on it.

Even Toshiba doesn't have drivers to download.

Read here and elsewhere indicates that a driver problem might be the cause, but I need help.
Thank you.

As far as I know if you want to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models, you MUST use Windows XP Home SP2 installations CD edition. Please test and validate the results.

  • New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed

    Hello

    There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

    Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
    No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
    I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:

    * Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.

    You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.
    Download here:

  • Qosmio F20 with Vista RTM

    I managed to install Windows Vista RTM on my Qosmio F20-155 aircraft. The installation went smoothly and all is well.

    I have the following problems, which I assume are common with everyone:
    -No SD card support
    -Waiting for new drivers from nVidia card
    -Fn keys and multimedia keys do not work

    However, something that I'm not sure that everyone knows is this lack of sound support. Vista acknowledged that the sound card is "SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio". However, I hear any sound on my speakers. I tried to force another driver (the Tecra,) found on the support site, but Vista would fire a BSOD and die. I don't know that there is nothing wrong with my laptop because the Qosmio player can produce sound normally (from Windows to the outside).

    Anyone with the same problem? And don't you think the RTM drivers are going to be late?

    Yes, I think that all drivers Toshiba will be released in the coming weeks, months?
    We'll see...

  • Qosmio F20 with Vista: display is not wake up from sleep/standby

    I hope someone can stop pulling my hair out - please!
    I have a Qosmio f20-136 that I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. I managed to install Ultimate Visa on what actually works very well. I get a score of 3.4 Visa which means Aero works very well. The lowest score of void is actually the CPU (the 1.6 GHz Pentium M) with following 3D graphics to 3.9 with the Geforce Go 6600.

    However, I have an annoying problem.
    Hibernate works very well - he hibernates and returned very well. I have the power button set for the Hibernate now and also in the start menu power button.
    If I close the lid it goes to sleep and when I opened the lid it picks up perfectly. There is the sound of a device connection / disconnection when I open and close the lid.

    However, here's the problem. I would like to use the power button to sleep rather than hibernation and I don't want to wear and tear on the hinges of the screen by keep opening and closing the lid. So, I tried to set the power button to sleep and also tried selecting sleep in the start menu options. In both cases, the machine goes to sleep but then a problem when I try to resume.

    The powers of the machine upward but the screen is black. Everything is alive, but I don't see anything.
    If I unplug the power cable and plug again (which changes the brightness of the screen), then it comes to life. If I close and re - open the lid, it comes to life. Nothing else he raises.

    Some would say that I'm picky because I'm almost there with vista, but I dearly would solve this issue. Can anyone help please.

    Currently using the video driver 97.52. I installed the added G30 package (without the energy control) that works. FN buttons not working (although the multimedia keys - if anyone has a solution for that I wouldn't be thrilled!.) I tried support button for the G30 but does not work).

    Please help if you can.

  • Impossible to install Win2003 Server to dualboot with Vista on Equium L350 - 10L

    Hello
    I have Windows Vista preinstalled on my Equium L350 - 10L. I wanted to install Windows 2003 server on another partition in order to dual boot between the 2 operating systems. When I start with the install of Win2003 CD and access the Setup screen, I get the following error: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer» I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) I have need to install the drivers for the SATA controller during the installation when he says "press F6 to install 3 pary SCSI or RAID drivers. I have two problems: 1. I can't find the drivers for the SATA for EQUIUM L350 - 10 L controller, 2. the laptop is not a floppy drive - which is the only way to install drivers during installation. Helpful suggestions and solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It is important to doesn´t if toshiba does not explicitly have the F6Floppy drivers for your machine. You can go to www.intel.com and download the drivers from F6Floppy from there.

    On the issue of the 'no-floppy", you can easily find a way just in slipstreaming with nlite for self made Win2003 Server drivers CD.

    To learn more about "slipstreaming" CD with nLite, simply type 'Nlite slipstream XP ICHM8' or some of these words in google and you will find all THE answers. Or you use the forum search and find only 10000 messages on this slipstreaming with nlite, etc...

  • Need to install XP on a system with VISTA, but it won't let me!

    I recently discovered that when I upgraded to Vista, I lost the use of my webcam and in order to fix properly, I have to reload a fresh install of XP, obtain the driver and then upgrade to Vista.  Problem is when I boot the XP cd and try to install a new copy of XP, the message that I get is I have not all installed hard drives.  I guess this is a feature of Vista security and I want to know how to get around this problem.  I know the utility FDisk BACK has been useful in more installed, but alas, this utility is not found on XP disks.  Suggestions welcome, thank you.

    If the hard drive is SATA you need SATA drivers (from the cd XP doesn't have everything). Or disable the AHCI in the BIOS. However, this can also affect Vista. Or you might have to refomat the hard drive, put XP and Vista (installing 2 operating systems)

  • Startup and shut down problems on Sony VGN-AR51SU laptop with Vista Ultimate

    I have a Sony VGN-AR51SU laptop which has Vista Ultimate preloaded when it was purchased. The windows product key is noted on the underside of the computer.

    The computer is configured to close, either by closing the lid or will the icon start then shut down. I don't remember which option I used to shut down the computer.
    However when I press the power button the computer immediately emits three short beeps. The hard disk icon flashes as if it is starting, but the LCD display remains black and never even a blue screen comes. Devices powered by the computer the light upward.
    Eventuallu the hard drive icon will stop blinking.
    When I put the cover towards the bottom of the computer behaves as if it ends and all devices close but the power of the computer remains on, regardless whether I am with the main power or battery.
    Obviously I can not use the starting/closing track that I have a black screen.
    I tried all the options to remove lead AC and battery close and all devices, then re-boot just on AC power or battery or any combination of these options, etc etc etc and nothing makes a little difference.
    I keep my system and software updated and this problem was one of sudden nature IE. OK one day then the problem the next time I turned on the computer.
    Make three short beeps on start uo and the fact that the screen remains black gives a clue as to the problem?

    Hi Taked,

    This seems to be a hardware problem. You must contact Sony support for assistance on the issue.

  • Qosmio G50 - second clone partition for Windows 7 upgrade

    I have a Qosmio G50 with Vista Ultimate installed & I have 2 disks to upgrade to Windows 7.

    Is there a way to use this 2nd partition cloned as the basis for the upgrade to Windows 7 & clone (with Vista) C: on another partition? In this way there would still be Vista to use for programs / drivers that are incompatible with Windows 7 & there will be a dual boot with Windows 7 option.

    Someone has it worked?

    Any help appreciated

    Hmm I don't think that this works since you would need a license for the two OS simultaneously. Win7 upgrade license replaces the Vista license
