• Qosmio G20-108 Windows recovery problem.

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20-108 of ebay and the seller said that the laptop is ok but I had a virus previously and it wiped the HARD drive. The DVD player has so replaced it by a new one, but he couldn't just load the recovery of Windows Media Center. I bought the laptop thinking that I can fix it but I could not and now I felt stupid: (.)

  When I turn it on, you receive this error message:

  ERROR ATA #1

  Intel (r) Boot Agen FE v4.1.16
  Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.

  Someone has an idea on how to solve this problem before sending it to the "Topaz" Support and cost me a fortune?

  Thank you.

  If the DVD player is replaced, you are 100% sure it works well then you probably have a problem with faulty HARD drive.

  If possible, try to get one for testing purposes. It can be used. Replace the HARD drive and try to install the top OS. Check if you have full access to the HARD drive.

• Qosmio G20 and Acronis True Image

  Hello

  I have a G20 with the media library and twin 100 GB hard disks that are configured to act as two separate discs (set up of RAID options when I reinstalled the system). I have programs on a disk (C) and the operating system and my data on the other (D).

  On a previous thread I asked to retrieve the C drive only from the recovery disks without wipe data on the D drive, and it seems that this is not possible, to remedy this, I decided to follow the suggested advice and create an image of the C drive for later retrieval if necessary. However, I have had a problem of creating an image or a clone of my system using Acronis True Image disk and wonder if anyone can help. I replaced the D drive with a new disk of 120 GB and uses the old drive in a USB enclosure sata to store the clone or image recovered.

  First of all, all devices, readers ext usb, wireless keyboard, cable network & second screen are connected through a hub to a USB docking station, and when I try to clone with this joint, it fails to restart. Undeterred, I took off the hub and the clone for the external drive seems to work very well. However, when I remove the drive from the existing system and replace it with the clone to test, it does not work. The system appears to start but then get the screen where it says windows windows had a problem and I want to start in safe mode, last known working system, or start as usual in any case. If I select it just reboots and gets back to this screen.

  Also, I tried to create an image rather than a clone and recover the image on the hot spare. Once again, it seems to go ok but when I put the disc and satrt to the top of the same thing happens.

  I don't know if there is anything that you must close before imaging or cloning as the instructions don't say, so don't know if theres nothing running that may affect it. The instructions are pretty basic but seem pretty simple, so I do not see where I am going wrong.

  Does anyone have experience of this type of problem and how to fix it.

  Thank you very much

  A few months ago I acquired a regular copy of Acronis True image for my G20.

  After that many negative attempts to use the program, who do not recognize the disks
  I asked for help using Acronis
  which solves the problem brilliantly, sending me a special version on purpose
  for the difficult features of the Qosmio system.

  If you an e-mail to the Acronis media, they probably have in the Archives of the version
  for the Qosmio G20.

• Problems with Qosmio G20 and SuSE Linux 10.3 installation

  Hello

  I can't install SuSE Linux 10.3, because the hard drive will not be detected.
  I think it's the Software Raid... in the BIOS are only the options of Raid 0 and JBOD. When I changed to JBOD, it says I need to install the new os.
  Windows XP Professional is installed on the computer and I want to have a system to dual-boot with Open SuSE 10.3.
  How can I solve the problem?

  MfG

  Man... that's a really complicated problem.

  First of all, please consult this site unofficial toshiba official: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/pc/QosG20_report.htm

  West a complete report on your machine where all material etc. are described. The two entries on the bottom of the site describe the problem that you have.

  Another good friend called 'google' redirected me [THIS | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574116] site.

  You see, it s a problem since your RAID controller is not correctly recognized by some kernels/distributions.
  I have no perfect solution for you, but I propose to try another distro (since there are hundreds of them) who could probably work with your machine.

  The best would be to visit www.google.com and type something like "Qosmio G20 linux raid". Trust me, you will get many results. :)

  Keep rocking with linux ;)

• Qosmio F60 and Windows XP

  Hello

  I need to know if I can delete win 7 and install Windows XP on my Qosmio F60
  I am a student online and the software is not compatible with win 7 and IE8
  I need at least of the video, network and WIFI win XP drivers ASAP

  Thank you very much
  [email protected]

  Maybe your University must understand that time WXP disappeared and more people use Win7 or Vista.

  In any case, I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This DVD you can use later to install Win7. Be careful about this. If you install own OS like Vista or Windows XP Home edition, you will lose this option.

  Back to your question: Qosmio F60 is newer model laptop with supported Win7 only. For now WXP drivers are not available.

• Qosmio G50 and Windows 7

  Sad to see the Australian website has no drivers and software for this model in Windows 7...
  EU for everything is on the site of USA.

  have 2 numbers well if someone could help it,

  1st edition Chicony Camera Assistant does not work cannot load the web camera drivers.

  2nd edition Toshiba graphic library does not work error gets DB connection failed.

  Any help is appreciated.

  > but the Australian model must use slightly different material than the Euro and the United States.
  The PQG55E series is very similar to the Australian series PQG55A.
  It s the same Chicony webcam module and the driver isn't different.

  > 2nd edition Toshiba graphic library does not work error gets DB connection failed.
  This software allows you to view a list of all files and subfolders in a specified folder, videos of index and read files. Usually this requires the installation of other software such as TOSHIBA HD Console as well as the TOSHIBA Quad Core HD processor driver

  These drivers are also from this page of the G50 driver:

• Qosmio G40 and Windows 7 upgrade

  Hello

  Can someone tell me please on why Toshiba has no support for the Qosmio G40 when it comes to upgrading to windows 7?

  Are you sure about that?
  Have you already checked http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows7_drivers.jsp?

• Qosmio F50 and Windows 7 drivers

  Hello

  (1) it seems that Toshiba has released a few drivers, but my question is that to install and which is not necessary?

  For example by Pioneer Firmware update, what?

  (2) also, I noticed that there are many drivers Vista (approximately 100) but the Win7 version are much less (about 26) and therefore is that all?

  Thank you

  I checked the list of available drivers for your model laptop and in my opinion you should install all except for optical drive firmware.
  When everything is installed, observe the features of optical disc drive and let us know if you have noticed a few problems.

  Although pilots obviously much more useful are already integrated in Win7 and must not be installed also. This must be the reason why Toshiba offers less drivers.

• VISTA on Qosmio G20

  Hi, is upgrading to Vista on a Qosmio G20 recommended?
  I know the Vista Media Center not - work with HDTV here in Sweden, but WinMCE2005 (XP), and the latter is installed on my G20.

  I don't think that Vista Media Center can be added on XP.

  Hello

  AFAIK Qosmio G20 is not Vista support and unfortunately Toshiba doesn't offer Vista drivers, tools and utilities for this model of laptop.

  In my opinion, you should continue to use Windows XP Home edition.

  What you can do is try how Vista works on Qosmio G20 and install it on the second partition of HARD drive.

• Clean OS installation problem on Qosmio G20 111

  YOU HAVE PURCHASED A QOSMIO G20 AND I WANTED TO DO A CLEAN XP INSTALL
  SINCE THE SECOND DISK (D) NO CD.
  I CHANGED THE FILE SYSTEM FROM NTFS TO FAT32 ON THE TWO HARD DRIVES.
  THE FIRST STEP OF COPYING THE FILES FROM THE SECOND DRIVE (D) TO THE
  FIRST HDD (C) SE PAST WELL, BUT WHEN IT RESTARTS TO COMPLETE THE
  INSTALLATION IT STOPS SAYING - MAYBE A VIRUS O OTHER USE CHEK DISC OPTION.

  AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

  ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

  Hello

  As far as I know Windows XP needs a file NTFS format the hard drive.
  Why you changed the file system format? The chkdsk message usually occurs due to defective files or sectors of HARD disk system.
  I recommend you to install the OS on the NTFS format.
  Have you checked if Ca? s possible to start the process of recovery from the recovery CD?

• Qosmio G20 - restore settings factory

  Hello

  Basically I have a Qosmio G20 and here is a brief history of the problem: -.

  (1) Started to get a cooling system warning, after some time the computer turns off.
  (2) stupidly, I ignored the warning system cooling and after a few weeks the computer would start is no longer.
  (3) computer is out of warranty so it took PC World UK for diagnosis.
  (4) PC World says have found 7 viruses (which they said they removed) and said there may be a hardware failure, but they couldn't be certain until they had restored the factory settings for the computer to work properly.

  The problem with restoring the factory settings, this is even though I know that the hard drive is not actually deleted, I'm worried that he would make a few programs and inaccessible files.

  All I want to do is start the Qosmio once while I can:-

  (A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop
  (B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.

  With (A) above, I think the only way I can get bookmarks from Mozilla is to launch the program and then use the export option, it doesn't seem to be a way I can just scan hard drives for bookmarks setting the file and back to the top. And as for B), I did a scan of the hard drive and I found the 'dbx' Outlook Express files but when I imported in the new laptop there are a considerable number of missing emails.

  So my questions are:-

  (1) if I restore to factory settings, does this mean that Firefox and Outlook Express would more appear in my programs?
  (2) if not, can start the computer using a Windows CD, and then launch Firefox and Outlook Express directly from the hard drive?
  (3) or, if I plug the hard drive on another computer, you know the exact files (and places) so that I can get all my emails and settings of Firefox?

  Any advice would be appreciated!

  (> A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop

  This isn't really a problem. Bookmarks could be saved on external USB flash.
  You can find the bookmarks in your profile in
  c:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  There should be a folder called bookmarkbackups.
  You will find the latest bookmarks from html files.

  Here you can find the FAQ about Firefox. Check * better
  _ http://KB.mozillazine.org/Firefox: _FAQs #Profiles

  (> B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.
  You can save the mails too.

• Qosmio G20: XP Installation disk & SATA USB

  Afterworlds it is the second time that when the same SATA drivers are required from diskette (drive A :). After the selection of the 1 install Windows XP blue screen 3 options, before the first reboot. The installation starts copying the files required for the instillation process and asks AGAIN COPY THE SATA DRIVERS for more usage of the system.

  On this stage the USB Floppy is see inaccessible computer cant that it has USB floppy A:.
  So I can't continue with installing XP because for the next reboot is no SATA driver and no hard drive is detected.

  Hello

  Did you install the RAID driver?
  Well, I put t know if it because of this problem, but as much as I know the Toshiba RAID driver must be added during the installation, when prompt to 'press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

  To do this, please download the Toshiba RAID driver from the web page of Toshiba driver download and extract the zip to a disk file. Connect the floppy drive to your computer before starting the installation.

  The Setup program continues until you are asked if you want to "S = specify additional device. Press' and specify the driver Toshiba Raid for XP or 2000 as required.
  Press 'Enter' to continue the installation.

  When you use Windows Setup to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process.

  Please tell me if you have resolved the problem.

  Best regards

• Qosmio G20 - could not get the video to display on the LCD screen

  I have a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20, running Windows XP MCE.

  The DVD player on board isn't sounds very well so I thought I would plug an external DVD drive to expand its use. After a lot of internet research, I finally found how to do this. Here's my setup.

  Using the monitor port I used the adapter 3 RCA jacks. (There is no S-video on the DVD drive and an adapter did not work). I finally discovered that in order to get the image on the screen, I have to use Fn + 4. Now, here's where I'm having the problem. I can't get the video to display on my external LCD. FN + 5 didn't do. The monitor is an I - inc AH191D and is connected by VGA cable. There is no driver other than the one for the VISTA operating system... That is why it is not anywhere in the Device Manager.
  Here are the settings I use in order to have all that shows on my desk, shows on the monitor.

  In Control Panel open to the screen. Properties
  Number chosen 1 - multiple monitors GeForce Go6600 video card...
  Advanced under
  the GeForce G06600 tab,
  nViewDisplay Mode: clone 1 a 1 b
  The main screen: digital flat screen
  Secondary display: AH191

  I also tried using the properties of controls on Toshiba. He says under TV output TV output but gives options of the program, but I don't know what I would use. Any ideas out there?

  Wait I'm confused, if you try to send the output of your external DVD drive in the laptop, and then display the image on an external monitor attached to laptop?

  If you use the DVD player on your laptop, it will be good quality S-video as a signal of low resolution.

  Is there something wrong with the DVD player?

  If it's just the DVD software you don't like, you can download other DVD players. PowerDVD is excellent, its better than WinDVD and other players in my opinion.
