• Qosmio F20: How to use the microphone internal?

  Good, my second and last question (I hope).
  The F20 was a "microphone".
  How to use it?
  Does this mean that I will not need an external microphone at any point?

  Hello

  It would be very interesting to know the name of your Qosmio F20 - xxx, because there are many F20 with a different hardware configuration.
  I found some Qosmios F20 without the internal microphone on the Toshiba site.
  In this case, you can only use an external microphone.

  But if you laptop should internal microphone, it should be possible to enable this feature under control panel sound and Audio Devices tab, Advanced button Volume.

• Qosmio F20 - how to format only C: partition using the recovery disk

  Hello

  My laptop is Qosmio F20

  After installing my OS using the recovery CD, I created more partitions... now, I have 5 partitions.
  Now I want to reinstall my OS on the C: where there already exist right now but I would like to format the C: partition until I use the "expert installation"...
  How can I do?

  Also, if I used the 'expert' facility that gives me the option to choose which partition I like to use. He reformatted the partition before installing or it is it will be overwritten?

  Thank you some much in advance.

  As far as I know the partition will be formatted quickly at first and then the recovery image is installed.

• Qosmio F20: How to add a second HDD

  Hi all, my first post, so be nice!

  I recently bought a new Qosmio F20 with unique 60 gig HD. I realize now after a month, I need much more space, it will add a second 120 GIG HD. My question is, is this easy to do? How can I do? Is there a couple of screws to undo and just pop in? Also is there a certain type of HD necessary?

  Sorry for the questions of basic but this is my first laptop.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As far as I know that it is not possible to use two hard disks on F notebook series as on G series, delivered with two hard drives. In my opinion that the best solution is to use external USB connected HDD. On this way, you can use notebook HARD drive 2.5 in aluminum case.

  Google a bit and you will find many of them with a different ability. I use a 60 GB external HDD back up all my data.

  Good bye

• Qosmio F20 - problem with WXP MCE TV tuner

  Hello

  I have a strange problem...
  I install win XP MCE on my qosmio F20-111 and all work fine.
  TV Tuner work verry good, list all the chanel and all the work.
  But after the first reboot when I try again Live TV in Media Center, I received the message "bad TV tuner work or do not present, try to restart.

  I try everything, but it still does not work.
  When I use the system restore, it works until I reboot again. Once again, I get this message.

  Any ideas? Please...

  You should check if after the next reboot the TV tuner is properly recognized in Device Manager.
  If this is not the case, then visit the European driver Toshiba page and you must reinstall (update) the TV tuner driver.
  Maybe it's the key to the solution ;)

  Good luck and I would appreciate feedback

• Qosmio F20: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

  Hi all

  I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
  I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
  But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
  However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
  Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

  Thanks in advance.
  François

  Hello

  You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
  In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
  This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
  I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

• Qosmio F20 - how to restore factory settings?

  * Hi guys *.

  Im having problems restoring my Qosmio F20 - 137 back to factory settings.
  Steps what I need to download to be able to do

  or an easy way to get my phone in original configuration

  * Thank you *.

  * greg *.

  Hello!

  The best way to restore the original configuration is the Toshiba recovery disc. You only have to boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The whole HARD disk will be erased and install an image of factory settings. After that, you have the same State as the first time that you have started the laptop.

  If you n t have the Toshiba recovery disc you must install Windows using a Microsoft disc, then download and install all the driver from the Toshiba page step by step. For the follow-up to Windows XP the [installation instructions | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 381 & selSeries = 170 & selProduct = 586 & STAS hortMod = 417 & language = 13 & selOS = all & selType = all & year = upload & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = a he's & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 43237 & OS ID = 10 & driverLanguage = 42].

• Qosmio G20 - How can I get the tuner to work?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20. :) It has windows xp professional installed.

  I can access the Qosmio Player (by pressing the tv button) while the laptop is turned off. Get a snowy picture.

  I donnot have a remote control. I'm from South Africa.

  If anyone can help with the following text:

  -Do I need a remote to tune to a frequency of psecific?
  -If no, how I tune to a specific frequency without remote?
  -How to access the user interface of the Qosmio player?
  -The Qosmio accessible from Windows player?
  Is there a guide on how to install and use the Qosmio player? If so, please provide the download link.

  Thank you

  Hello

  How do you watch TV?
  Which player Qosmio do you have?
  AFAIK the Qosmio Player versions 4.3 and older do not support the DVB - T signal.

  Also I m not very good if you want to be able to receive TV channels in South Africa if this Qosmio G20 was released in European countries.
  The point is that the internal tuner would not receive the signals due to the different PAL/NTSC settings.

  Regarding scanning of channels:
  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=25430

  In order to run the scan, you need to start the Qosmio player, press the F1 key and enter the Setup program.
  Here, you can do a scan. You n t need the remote!

  The other fact is that the Qosmio Player is not Windows-based applications and you cannot start if Windows. If Windows is running while you use MCE (Media Center) instead of Qosmio player.
