Qosmio F30-117: A single HARD drive is recognized after upgrade to 120 GB

I have a Qosmio F30-117 with 2 x 60 GB Toshiba hard drives installed. I want to switch to 2 x 120 GB HARD drive, but my Slot 1 does not recognize the HARD drive as being present. Slot 2 recognizes that a 120 GB HARD drive is present.

This happens with two 120 GB hard drives installed in the two slots and when inverted as well. I don't use RAID so no mirroring happens.

Any clues out there?

Hello
I think that it is will not be problem.
Try putting 2 HARD drive and then install a sistem.
Otherwise, you can not lose a sistem on old first HDD, if you have a problem.

  • Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

    Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
    After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

    I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
    Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

    When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
    I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

    Hello

    Tecra S3 supports RAID.
    In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

    The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
    It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

    You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
    Google for nLite for more details.

  • Qosmio F30 - installing the new hard drive

    Hello

    I just installed a new hard drive on my Qosmio F30 - he came originally only with a 60 GB hard drive.

    The second disc is identical to the first in every way, i.e. of 60 GB drive Toshiba.

    I initialized the new drive and it also shows online and unallocated. I want to use the reader to basically increase my quality, not like a mirror and so chose this option using the RAID Utility.

    However when I expelore the C drive, it shows than the total capacity of the drives as 60 GB. I guess that both drives should be showing as a player, like 120 GB.

    The drive works properly?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can check in the BIOS if the second HDD is recognized correctly

    As you say you don t want to use a mirror mode, but then you must set the RAID0 stripping!

    Please also check the settings of the BIOS RAID!

    At page 242 user manual you will find all the details on the different options and what they are for

  • Compaq Presario DVD/CD drive not recognized after upgrade to 8.1 Windows

    Hello, I recently updated my SR5601UK to Windows 8.1, and he ceased to recognize the CD-ROM drive in Windows.

    The last disc it read was the 8.1 upgrade disk.

    I checked the power and data cables and the two are connected, Bios, recognizes that I checked for upper and lower buffers in the registry and there is nothing to remove.

    No CD/DVD drive is listed in the section 'Devices & readers' on 'This PC' or in 'Device Manager '.

    The powers of disc when a disc is inserted, but nothing appears on the screen.

    I can only find drivers/firmware on the site HP for XP, Vista and 7, but nothing for 8, so cannot say if it is a firmware/driver problem.

    HP Web site says spec of the car but not the manufacturer, so I had trouble finding the update.

    Hello:

    See if the resolution steps 2, 3, 4 or 5 solves the problem.

    One usually does.

  • Qosmio F30-117: after upgarde to Vista - no sound

    I have improved my Qosmio F30-117 to Windows Vista with a clean install.

    I downloaded all the drivers from Toshiba for Vista website, including audio drivers.

    But I have no sound, everything else works fine. I verify that it is not cut.

    Sound driver details are: Sigma Tel High Definition Audio CODEC - version date 040407: 6.10.5462.0

    Its worked before upgrade.

    What did I miss?

    This is very interesting case?  :|

    I have read about similar issues and I have read about possible solutions.

    I could be possible that this may happen because the sound has cut out Windows XP before Windows Vista was installed.

    I studied a bit and found this useful and interesting paper Toshiba which describes the problem and provides and solution:

    [Audio cut off (no sound) after the installation of Windows Vista: http://209.167.114.38/support/techsupport/tsbs/all/-TSB001438.htm]

    I would be grateful feedback from your part

  • Features red and green Qosmio F30-117 - display problems-

    Hello

    I have a qosmio F30-117, and until recently, I was thrilled with everything about it.

    Then, mid session, graphics started to deteriorate, which fixed a reboot.

    Then a few days later, he did it again and this time when I rebooted it came with a display corrupted, a lot of aa in all directions then red and green lines everywhere.

    Managed to get by selecting safe mode with network and got a desktop computer but still with red and green lines everywhere.

    Now its got worse again, when I start the screen of the laptop itself is empty, becomes something because it is not completely black as if it was when its engine turned off, but his Blanck.

    To check I have connected to an external monitor and managed to get again in safe mode with network, but still very bad and always red and green lines everywhere.

    I started to take a ride on the old good www and there are many posters and articles with problems and many mentioning the lines red and green etc...
    so I'm not alone, but no one seems to know exactly what it is.

    Some have mentioned the grateful Toshiba this as a problem and make even if out of warranty repairs.
    Thus, ideas, advice and does anyone know if Tosh have agreed the problem and offer any help?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    In my opinion, this looks like a problem of graphics card GPU eventually started to malfunction, and in this case to replace the motherboard.

    > Some mentioned Toshiba grateful that as a problem and make even if out of warranty repairs.
    Thus, ideas, advice and does anyone know if Tosh have agreed the problem and offer any help?

    It doesn't have to be dull I ve also found this update from Toshiba product support page, but there is nothing listed on the problems of F30
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/PRODUCT_UPDATE_SUPPORT

    What to say. Seems only a technician ASP might solve your problem, but replacing motherboard is a costly affair so it s your own decision to want to do

    In any case... good luck...

  • Qosmio F30-117: Impossible to establish FTP connections

    I have a Qosmio F30-117, windows XP, Norton Internet security.
    When I try to FTP to my site I get FTP connection failed.

    I tried it on a friends computer and the connection has been established the first time.
    When I joined my laptop to its broadband - no FTp connection. This eliminates at least my router.

    I tried to disbale parts of Norton Internet Security, without success.

    Help?

    Hello

    so if I were you I would completely disable the Norton software and make sure that the Windows Firewall is to leave you hollow. If not, you should check if your friend has put in place properly. If you want to test that your machine is able to connect via FTP, then go to www.kernel.org and enter an ftp address.

    Open your favorite FTP client, and then try to connect. If the connection fails really then double check all the settings and try again. I think that the problem is so low that everybody he oversees everything. ;)

  • Qosmio F30-117 freezes

    Hello! I bought a Qosmio F30-117 earlier and it started to freeze. I get to the computer desk-very good, then it completely freezes and I have to remove the power cord and the battery to restart, then it usually loads fine.

    Anyone else had this problem or has an opinion on what do I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I noticed that system blocks always when some external device was plugged or if the CPU activity is higher than the limit. I put t know exactly what to do with your unit, but observe the activity of the laptop. You may be able to find out in what cell phone of the moment freezes or after the operation.

    I'm sure this has nothing to do with the hardware but just with an operation.

  • RAID configuration on a single hard drive?

    Hello

    Is it possible to configure the RAID in a single hard drive.

    The RAID is not just about redundancy. In the case of mirror RAID is. But, in the case of the RAID stripe, it's performance. There are other RAID types too if you feel like Googling them, but I can assure that they all involve at least two physical disks. However, many RAID controllers that support stripe and mirror (RAID 0 and 1).

    You cannot create a RAID with a single physical disk, even if you create more than one partition on it.

  • In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out

    I got a new hard drive in my computer and the old a subscribed.  I then had to reinstall Windows XP Pro.  In disk management, it shows only a single hard drive and it's C, but it lists the size than what my old drive was that I took out.  The new shows of unallocated hard disk without a drive letter and has a black bar above it. How do I show my new hard drive that is 1 TB instead of one that was a 250 GB is not yet in my computer.

    Hi Reta,

    ·         The drive appears like 250 GB even if it's a terabyte?

    ·         Is the remaining 750Go showing as unallocated disk space?

    If this is the case, you can refer to this article on how to use disk management in Windows XP:

    How to use disk management to configure dynamic disks in Windows XP

    You can follow the directions to extend a Simple Volume so that your 250 GB turns into a single terabyte.
