Qosmio F20: How to fix Windows XP without HARD drive format
Is there a way I can reinstall or repair my copy of Windows XP Media Center Edition without format my laptop Qosmio F20, using only the supplied restore CD?
Otherwise, because I can't start Windows, is there a way I can get around the situation to save my data on another computer via a network cable, the laptop restore and then 'paste' data back? A simple free operating system I can boot from a CD maybe?

Qosmio G20 - how to reinstall Windows XP without the recovery DVDs?
I am trying to install windows XP on the laptop. I bought the Qosmio without the reinstallation cd. It has no operating system installed on the hard drive at all. Everything is OK, until he asks for raid drivers, then he said: put the disc in the drive "a". There is no player on the G20.
I need to buy a USB floppy to do this, or someone has solutions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Hello
As you know already some units Qosmio supports RAID function.
If you want to install the OS from Windows, you must first install the RAID driver.
The RAID driver you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.You have three options:
1. you will first install the driver disk RAID, and then you could install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
2. you create a Windows clean boot CD with application called nLite (as mentioned above)
This application allows you to create the CD of the Windows operating system with additional drivers as RAID3. buy the original recovery CD Toshiba with the Toshiba service partner in your country

How to install windows on a hard drive empty.
IM using dell inspiron 3521 windows 8 preload. Last week, crashed my hard drive. And I have no backup of recovery disc or usb. And now I'm going to buy a new internal hard drive. But don't know what to do after buying the hard disk. I know how to mount the hard drive. But do not know the step to do after that. And one more thing. It is important to buy the same hard disk or can I buy a new one. Pls suggest me some good brands... And the steps to follow after you mount the hard drive.
I recommend installing a SSD Crucial/Samsung or Intel. The Crucial 256 GB MX100 or 550 are a good buy:

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party

Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.
Flow of the problem:
My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals
«intell...» »
and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.
He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.
Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS. He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected. I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?
Hello Chris,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.
According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.
I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.
Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.
Installing and reinstalling Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7
If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.
Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
