• Qosmio G20: Additional programs are placed on the recovery CD?

  Hello

  I am relatively new to all this if my question is perhaps a bit noobish. But I would like to reinstall windows xp mce on my Qosmio G20. And I know that's what I use the product recovery disc for. But a few things written about it has started to get worried, so if you could answer the following questions I would be very grateful.

  (1) on the product recovery disc it is said that the additional software (ex: DVD player...) cannot be recovered from the dvd. But all these were preinstalled on my computer and I don't have a cd/dvd extra. So the question is: is this a denial of responsibility (unfairly put) and this Qosmio G20 recovery disc has all programs pre-installed so?

  (2) when I start the recovery process he formats just my drive C: or D: drive as well. I have not changed anything since I was the computer. So drive C: is where programs are, D: drive is just for some multimedia stuff.

  Thank you very much. : D

  Hello

  AFAIK Qosmio G20 comes with two recovery media:
  1 QOSMIO recovery media player
  This CD contains QOSMIO player only and use it before you install the operating system.
  2 OS Recovery DVD
  This DVD contains the operating system and all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.
  When you use the laptop will have to new factory settings. As after the first start.

  When you use recovery DVD to install OS again, there is an option to install the operating system already persistent partition. I put t know if the recovery on your Qosmio DVDs old ghost image or new software Reco.

  Please try to boot from recovery media and let me know how it starts. I can help you to install the OS on the right track.

• Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but cannot do

  Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but I can't do it.

  Please help me and I will be grateful

  Hello

  Of course, you can change the operating system and install another I wonder what OS you prefer?  :|

  I think that you can not install the new OS because the HARD drive is not visible. Am I wrong?
  Fact is that the G20 series supports RAID functionality. You must install the RAID driver before you continue the OS installation procedure

  The RAID driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page and should be included in the operating system using an external USB FDD drive.

• Qosmio G20: How to install Win XP? -> No disc HARD is visible

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20 and it come with Window Vista Ultimate Edition, but I don't want Vista. I tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but because it is a lower version, I need to reformat my hard drive.

  There is my problem: first I boot CD of Windows XP Home edition to install, after that I select to reformat the laptop but it says I have no hard drive and reboot. I don't know what to do, and I don't understand nothing with RAID technology.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  That's easy, you need the RAID driver which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
  Then you use the external USB FDD drive and the floppy with this RAID driver for installation.
  During the installation of Windows XP Setup will ask you for most drivers.

  Then you press F6 to install the RAID driver. Notes; After installing the driver RAID don't format the HARD drive again!

• 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?

• Question about backup of the partition on the Qosmio G20

  Hi everyone, I was wondering is it possible to get the backup of your hard drive or the partition on qosmio g20? I tried the real picture, and ghost, but they could not get access to the qosmio scsi disks, when I ve checked toshibas recovery dvd I saw it is changed the version of norton ghost, so they must be necessary loading drivers on the start time of recovery disc, because I install a lot of software and change the config. I want to save my disk hard once everything is done.
  can anyone help?

  Hello

  Some time ago, I did some ghosting of Toshiba laptops, I have never had any problems. Perhaps there may be conflicts, if you are using RAID technology, or the Qosmio player on the first HARD disk area hurts.

  Sorry I can't give you more help.
  Good luck!

• Qosmio G20: How can I get my HDD second back after RAID?

  Hello

  Stupidly I went RAID on my Qosmio G20 and my second HDD which is 60 GB disappeared. I disable the RAID, but the hard drive is still missing. AI? m not as technically of mind that I use to be then I would be really helpful if someone could me an idiots guide (a di mean infallible) how to recover this disc.

  I would be really grateful for any assistance with this. Thank you

  Hello

  Where is this you disable the RAID parameters? What did you do in the BIOS?

  Please note that if you change the RAID settings in the BIOS, you will lose data and the files on the HARD drive!

  To my knowledge, you will find the RAID settings on the third page of the BIOS.
  I remember the JBOD option disable the RAID and you will be able to complete the installation of the restore CD.

  In any case all these information is placed in the user's manual then take and check it ;)

• Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in BIOS

  Hello

  I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109.
  The system does not start, the two hard drives JBOD (unable to start Windows).
  HDD1 - 120 GB
  HDD2 - 250 GB

  So I wanted to put the first disc HARD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the Manual: I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.

  The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.

  I tried everything, I'm not despairing managing to install an operating system.

  I hope there is a solution.

  Hello

  If JBOD has been set in the BIOS, Windows OS could not be installed on this HARD drive except using the Toshiba product recovery disc. But I guess you want to install the system using another drive in Windows.

  To be honest, I not very well why the BIOS freezes and does not accept Mr. code it s certainly the right one: ENTRY 1,2,3,4

  But the issue is probably related to the HARD drive. How to switch hard drives in the Bay?
  Try to use the 120 GB HDD2 and the 250GB as HDD1.

  I also recommend you use the 1RAID-0 = HDD1 and HDD2 = JBOD
  Would be interesting how it works.

• Qosmio G20: How do you get TV to work?

  Hi, I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20.

  I want to watch a Divx on my TV using the laptop as the player. But, I can't get anything to display on my TV, my TV remains empty.

  I tried pressing on now the keys Fn and F5 and this doen't seem to do anything. I opened the Nvidia graphics window and expand on my secondary display and I also tried to have a vision of "clone" of the laptop computer on my TV screen by clicking on the Advanced button. Nothing seems to work.

  Could someone help me please? I think that I am using a DVI cable (this is the cable where you can hang on the back of the laptop). In addition, if no one can give me more information so can someone give me the phone number of the technical support for Britain?

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Concerning
  Dr. Corinne

  Hello

  Qosmio G20 supports the S-video port or video-D. You can connect to the TV with these ports.
  To view the video on the TV, be sure to set up the other parameters that you can see that nothing is displayed.
  Don't forget to use the FN + F5 shortcut to select the display device before you start playing the video. Don t change the display device all in video game.
  If the TV is connected to the computer, set the TV type in display properties.
  Click the setting tab, and then click the Advanced button. Click the Geforce tab, click current view and select TV. Click device settings and select TV format that your TV supports.
  When the TV is connected using D-video cable and the 1123i or 750 p is selected then kept copy of DVD video cannot be played correctly.

  Please see the user manual. You will find details

• Qosmio G20: How to get rid of the large green volume screen?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G20 I bought at the Japan last year and have since changed drivers and English operating system. However one thing ive noticed, distinguished by the Japanese put in place, it is that whenever I adjust the Volume level by using the wheel on the right side of the laptop, a large green level Volume display appears on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes place close to half of the screen. The Japanese version had this problem.

  I checked all the settings in the Panel and the various sections of both properties but couldn't find anything.

  Suggestions how to remove it? Qosmio users have this on their screen?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Berga is right. This volume indication disappears shortly after.

• Qosmio G20-105: sound randomly stops

  My Qosmio G20 purchased recently (105) appears to 'lose her' after a certain protohistory of the time, and I have to reboot to get it working again.

  Seems to happen once I cut it for a long time protohistory - when I turn the mute off, still no sound. It's as if she fails to recognize that I turned off the mute.

  This happened to someone else? I think a fresh installation/recovery, but if there is a difficulty more easy I would be interested in any suggestions :), people

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hello

  This problem very strange s. Never heard of problems.
  Before you reinstall the operating system with the recovery CD, I recommend checking the SoundMax Control Panel. In the power management tab you will find power for audio mode settings. It should check this configuration is compliant and if necessary trying to change power mode no energy savings.
  If it doesn't work try reinstalling the audio driver.

  If this don't solve this problem, well the reinstallation of the operating system would be a good possibility.

• Gray glittering color screen on Qosmio G20-120

  Hello
  I have a problem very confusing with my new Qosmio G20 - 120.
  I can see vague and wink on my screen when the brightness is set to 2 or 3 levels under the maximum, and the background of the display is set to dark grey (or other color non-black)
  This effect disappears when the brightness of the display is set up, but you know, I can't work with the maximum brightness all the time, because my eyes get tired very quickly in this case, especially in the evening.
  I saw the other G - Series 17 "notebooks and noticed the same problem.
  Is it possible hardware problem or this is common for Qosmio 17 "poster?

  Hello

  I never heard the show. The fact is that you can change the brightness of the screen on many laptops Toshiba, but I've never heard or seen of wave or nod to the screen. I m not sure if it s only your vision or it s a really a display error (FL-UPS).
  If you are not sure of the fault, then take the unit to your local dealer or contact the service of Toshiba.
