• Qosmio F30-140: cannot install Windows operating system-> no. HDD

  I bought the Qosmio F30-140 and I can't install Windows XP from my original cd: / recovery cd works fine but it installs a bunch of stuff I didn't need if I want a clean install...

  so when I run my winXP cd Setup program I get the error message: "Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer..."

  Although I can run windows normally which is installed from the CD of restoration... I think it's something with the hard disk drivers.

  How can I overcome this? Thanks in advance :)

  Hello Sarunas

  There s nothing wrong! Nothing with HARD drive or other hardware!
  You have just installed the RAID driver
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains the RAID driver and so you can install it without any problem.
  But the Windows CD contains no such driver and therefore the RAID driver must be installed at the beginning of the configuration of Windows installation procedure.

  Windows will ask you 3 RAID driver. The RAID driver, you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver. Download it on the floppy drive and connect the external USB FDD drive.
  From there, you will be able to install the RAID driver.

  Good luck..

• HARD drive is not recognized during installation of Windows XP on Qosmio F30 - 140

  Dear alls,

  I'm trying to install winxp on my Qosmio F30-140, but when I boot from the CD and after Setup starts, it shows me a massage like this:
  "windows has not found any HARD drive. Please make sure that you have an and it's probably work and connection very well... blah blah blah... »

  What should I do to install my OS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  your machine has a RAID controller, so before installing windows, you must install the RAID controller before. This occurs after you´ve began installing XP. Then a message on the bottom of the screen will appear that tells you that you must press F6 if you install HARD drive controllers (or something that way).
  You need to install the RAID driver from a USB floppy drive, which can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  After you have installed the driver for your drive HARD will be displayed, and you would be able to install XP.

  Hello

  > How can I activate the laptop to boot from usb memory flash with source of windows 7
  I think that's not the MAN of functions;
  I m not 100% sure, but I think that this BIOS does not support booting from SD card reader.
  But why you don t try to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

  If I understand your question, the external LCD is recognized correctly.
  Go into the BIOS and set the external monitor as the primary monitor.
  Then, you should be able to see everything.

• New update of added value package is available for Qosmio F30-140

  Hello everyone.

  I was wondering if Toshiba had released a new version of package of added value that is compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit for Qosmio F30-140?

  To check, if Toshiba published new versions of the extra value package, drivers or BIOS, refer to the following page:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  But, in my view, that nothing new has been posted, yet.

• Qosmio F30-140 - Windows7 cannot find the HDD - SATA storage

  Hello

  I've got Qosmio F30-140 and I tried to install Windows 7, but as usual windows 7 found no preparations.

  So I hope to find a solution with someone.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The Qosmio F30 supports the RAID controller.
  You must therefore RAID driver and not the driver SATA.

  You can consult the page of the European driver Toshiba. There is a RAID driver for the Vista operating system.
  You can try to use it under Win 7.

  If this does not work you can disable RAID in BIOS.
  I think you might find these settings on the 3rd page of the BIOS.

  I am owner of laptop Qosmio F30-140 for 7 months. I can say that I m happy with my laptop. But about 2 weeks back, I had some problems, which I can't resolve up to our days.

There after I ve discovered that s keyboard buttons in the library and the remote responds does not and does not control panel. I had tests to recover by Qosmio player recovery CD, but unfortunately all attempts have failed.

  Please help me solve this problem, because I am deprived of my remote control, in which I so need.

  As for you and best regards.
  Dr.VugarVali

  Hello

  Looks like you have just messed the whole OS.
  Use and relocation of the recovery CD Qosmio Player will not allow Toshiba cotroll buttons and remote control.

  In you case reinstalling the driver would be desirable; Start with Manager common Module, controls, remote control.

  If it does not help the use of CD recovery Toshiba does wonders! ;)

  But note; Don t forget to back up your data because the recovery CD formats the HARD drive!

• Card of Qosmio F30-140 is scalable?

  The Qosmio F30-140 comes with a Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 equipped factory.

  Hi mate,

  Unfortunately, the VGA chip cannot be replaced since it s "wired" on the motherboard, which means that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard.
  If you want to replace it you will have a soldering station, which costs probably above 13,000 bucks and a team that knows in soldering BGA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array) and maybe you have plans of engineering for the motherboard and and it wouldn't hurt to have at least two programmers for the creation of a new BIOS, which implies that you have some connections to Toshiba Japan because the BIOS is not a FRIEND, it s one or Phoenix BIOS toshiba which has its own characteristics and I Don t know a soul who managed to enter the structure of such a Toshiba BIOS.

  I hope I was able to clear your mind. :)

• Don't start Qosmio F30-140

  My Qosmio F30-140 recently stopped booting.
  When I press the power button, the light (bottom) to show that it s on turns green, but the screen is just blank. It does not and I have finally to maintain the power for a few seconds to killswitch button.
  Sometimes, I hear the fan starts to spin very hard. I tried to fix it by removing the hard drive and put it in another one of my computers laptops and reformatted using the recovery disk.
  Then I put back it in the Qosmio F30-140, but it still does not work.

  Can someone help me with this? Is also someone else having similar problems like this?
  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  I don't think not described issue has something to do with the HARD drive. If you don't see anything on the screen, it must be a serious hardware problem with chip BIOS, CPU, graphics card or who knows what else.

  I'm afraid, only solution for you is service. Contact the nearest authorized maintainer to check your laptop.

• Qosmio F30-140 - looking for a new motherboard or 2nd hand

  I bought two Qosmio F30-140 and a half years.

  There are months that my screen begins to blink, poor quality image and other Visual problems. Am went to Toshiba Service - they said your video GPU is not ok, you must change your motherboard, because the video controller is not separated. The price is... 980 EUROS. This is RIDICULOUS.

  However, I would ask you - where can I buy new mb or 2nd hand? Is it compatible with my QOSMIO models? Please for your help, because I'll be forced to throw this laptop voucher. Thanks in advance

  Mladen

  Hey,.

  I think the cheapest solution would be if you buy a second hand motherboard. You should take a look on eBay. Here you can often get second hand spare parts. An alternative, you can also buy a second laptop Qosmio F30 which is defective (e.g. display). You can use the motherboard of your laptop.

  But don t forget that mainboard Exchange isn't easy and you need to remove a large number of screws. It s not as easy as on the desktop.

• Re: Graphics Qosmio F30-140 - need latest driver nVidia

  The Qosmio F30-140 comes with an integrated Nvidia GeForce Go 7600.

  I looked on the Nvidia site to find an update for the video driver, but they said that updates for laptop cards are given on their site of manufacturers.

  But I couldn't find an update as well on the toshiba site.

  Please notify. I need a video driver updated for the game named PURE because currently I can't see models of players in the game and PURE support said the problem is that a release date of the video driver. \

  Help, please.

  Hello

  On the Toshiba driver graphics drivers are always the latest drivers available for the unique laptop series.
  The point is that graphics drivers from Toshiba are not the same thing as original manufacturers GPU graphics drivers.

  Anyway, is there a way to install the driver nVidia GPU.
  You could install from Device Manager and that you use the Advanced installation.
  Then choose; + Don t find. I will choose the driver to install. +
  Then, you must point to the driver that you downloaded from the NVidia site.

  But note; No driver installation gone 3rd in ONLY at your own RISK!
  Using the nVidia drivers can overheat and damage the graphics chip.

• Upgrading RAM on Qosmio F30-140

  Hello world
  My Qosmio F30 - 140 maximum expansion memory is 4 096 MB, but when I installed 4 GB (2 X 2 GB Transcend SODIMM 667 MHz) RAM, the operating system can it recognized as only 3.25 GB. The Bios still shows that I have 4 096 MB of RAM.
  So why Windows cannot show the size of RAM?

  Hello

  4 GB of RAM support depends on not only the operating system.

  To use the full 4 GB of RAM, BIOS, Chipset and the operating system must support the 4 GB.
  If one of the parts mentioned would not provide the capacity of 4 GB, then you would not be able to use it.

  Good bye
