• Qosmio G20 - how to install with a single drive HARD and without RAID?

  I would like to implement G20 Qosimo new with Windows XP 32.
  I bought a new hard drive and put it on the slot 1. I would like to run without any RAID (slot 2 is so empty)

  XP installation CD not found HD
  I went into the BIOS to see if the HD was there - HD is considered normal
  then I thought that I have to change RAID JBOD (page 3 of the BIOS), but it did not work
  I have confirmed with the button of 1234 - but nothing happened.

  In another task, they said to install the RAID-(pressant F6,... tout en commencer l'installation de XP) drivers
  I put the drivers on a USB - but the system will not detect it (and there is no floppy drive)

  I don't know how to install XP on this laptop.
  Any tips?

  Chris

  Can you get the external floppy drive (floppy drive) and load the RAID drivers using this disc which should be connected using the USB port?

  This floppy drive, you can buy on eBay for a few euros.

• New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed

  Hello

  There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

  Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
  No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
  I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:

  * Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.

  You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.

• How to install Win 7 on a Win 10 computer which doesn't have a CD player

  I bought a new laptop of Lenovo win 10, but I can't not treat Win 10 so I bought a copy of Win 7 and want to install it but I don't have a CD player.  How to install Win 7?  I tried to look at the oem site but nothing seems to match back to Win 7, they all assume I'm going to Win 10, that I certainly do not.

  Otherwise I'll have to return the laptop because I don't live with Win 10, it takes too long to learn all the new shit and I'm not all media social hype apps that came with it.

  A little guidance would be welcome, please.

  Thank you

  Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

  The first thing you need to do is to check if there is no Windows 7 driver for your model of Lenovo.

  I recommend also to dual boot, instead of decommissioning.

  In addition, downgrade rights are limited to systems that are preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro OEM. Other editions need to provide your own disc of Windows 7.

  There are ways you can download and create a bootable copy of the edition of Windows 7 you have.

  Option 1: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

  then

  If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

  After installing Rufus:

  • Launch it
  • Select the ISO Image
  • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
  • Check create a disk bootable using
  • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
  • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
  • Make sure that your USB in the device list
  • Click Start
  • Close when you are finished

• How to install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

  Dear Admin,

  This is regarding my laptop Qosmio G20.

  Last month my OS (windows XP media edition) has been corrupted so I attempt to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

  But unfortunately my CD/DVD-Rom does not work/play,.

  Then I try to install it via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  plezz help me install XP or Vista or 7 those who works there...

  plezzz plezzz sound my laptop preferred

  Thanks in advance

  JAI

  > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
  The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

  Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
  If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

  > Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
  Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
  But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

  Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the Qosmio Player Utility for Windows XP MCE (should also work with XP Pro) or the independent version of the OS.

• Qosmio G20 156: clean install?

  Hello

  I am new to the arena for laptop and am the proud owner of the Qosmio G20 156 fantastic.

  I was wondering what people recommend doing the first thing when you receive... in what respect the sofware & operating system; Is it a good idea to perform a clean installation of Windows and the format of the HARD drive? I'm asking this is because some laptops come with a lot of junkware? If so, it's a very simple process using the recovery discs or I just would open the Pandora's box of possible complications?

  I'm quite proficient with installing the drivers etc.

  Any advice much appreciated!

  Hello

  Well, it s beautiful that you're proficient with installing the driver, but is not everything you need to know.
  This device uses a RAID technology and you will need to also install the RAID drivers, etc.
  I don t recommend to format anything or install the new OS. Toshiba programs and applications are installed on the new Qosmio because it s a laptop top of range with many features. The latest features need these applications.

  But of course it s your device and you decided what and how is running on your laptop.
  I have this case you can use the image of Toshiba and you can remove some programs from the laptop computer in Add and remove programs

  It is a simpler way.

• Qosmio G20: How to format the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I bought Qosmio G20 last week and now I want to install Windows XP MCE (not recovery, but a CD in Windows XP CD) on this subject but I have a problem formatting of hard drives. There are two hard disks, and when I try to put in the form of Win 98 it is said as "formatting is not supported on C:" or "formatting is not supported on D:". I want to do before installing new windows because I want to create multiple partitions, but to do that I need to format the disc first.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to format discs in this way?

  Hello

  You cannot format the HARD C drive because the operating system is running on this HARD drive.
  What you can do is to use the 3rd party software that creates the partitions on the HARD disk on the system running. I use partition Magic 8 to create and manage partitions.

• Qosmio G20: How to make a dual-boot?

  I have three partitions on my Qosmio G20.
  I run WinXP on one and use a larger data.
  The third partition is able to run Vista in (whenever that will happen).
  I did it on other PCs with a RAID-0 configuration, but which required a floppy with the RAID driver during installation.
  There is no floppy on the Qosmio, so how can I work around this obstacle?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows operating system offers a clean startup application.
  You should get a boot order (manager) automatically if you have installed two different systems on the device.
  But nevertheless you can use also 3rd party applications

• 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.

• Qosmio G20: How to repair Windows without formatting?

  Hello
  I have a qosmio G20 bought in October 2005. I need to repair my OS. The CD/DVD provided with the Windows XP MCE do not provide an option 'fix' as one provided when you buy a copy of Windows. How can I repair my OS without format my laptop?

  Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation

  Antonis

  The supplied restore CD does not contain the repair console because it s not an original Windows CD. The restore CD contains only an image of the files. Don't mix it with the CD of Microsoft!

  To get into the repair console, you will need the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  I also read on the Microsoft site that it of possible to download the repair on 6 discs FDD console. Then you could boot from this drive FDD and you might be able to get into the repair console. But I have never tested this procedure.

  I found this useful MS document also how to install and use the Recovery Console in Windows XP

  Even if I downloaded these drivers from the Toshiba site and installed, still it does not correctly.

  Please help me and your advice and your suggentions greately appreciated and thanks in advance

  Hi first of all, I recommend an update of Windows XP to the last State.
  All available patches and patches must be installed.

  In addition, the Qosmio G20-141 belongs to the series of PQG21E and you must choose the serial number from the Toshiba driver download form.

  The European driver Toshiba page provides different drivers for XP MCE and many QFE for Win XP Pro.

  In addition, you will find an installation instructions txt file that gives the proper installation order. This command is necessary and you should follow this statement!

  Then, everything should work ok.
