• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

• Qosmio G20-114: what are the features of hard drive?

  I just deleted one of my harddrives to my G20 114 so that I can work on my data while my laptop was being repaired.

  My plan was to put in a case of hard drve 2.5 "usb. I was also going to use a spare hard drive 100 GB I need to act as a backup of the operating system drive.

  However, it seems that the arrangemnt pins on the drive, I removed from my Qosmio is different from what I'm used to and it does not seem to hold in the external box. I guess also for this reason that the spare drive I used to fit into the Qosmio. I guess I must be missing something as this may not be the case here. They use some sort of different player in these machines or have I forgot something obvious?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with S - ATA drives.
  The HARD drive is fixed by 4 screws on the HARD drive carrier.
  Did you remove this media from HARD disk?
  This is perhaps a question why the HARD drive does not fit into the case.

• Qosmio G20: cursor jumps typing the letter

  Hi everyone, my Qosmio G20 gives me headaches! When I try to type a letter or article suddenly the cursor jumps back lines and I find myself typing in the middle of a previous sentence. Then sometimes it just deletes a paragraph I just typed.
  Any suggestions as to why? And more importantly on how to behave?
  I would be happy to advice.

  Thank you.
  Ronnie

  Yes, it's because of the touchpad. To disable and enter in peace, just press Fn + F9. This will temporarily disable the touchpad. When you are finished typing, press Fn + F9 again, it will re-enable the touchpad.
  Later,.

• 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 - 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.

• Qosmio G20-139: failure of the DVD - D: is not accessible

  Hi I have a six month old Qosmio G20-139

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"

  I ran that the pre installed Toshiba diagnosis which confirms the failure

  Hello

  Have you tried to remove the drive from Device Manager?
  If this is not the case, try to do this and then restart the laptop.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  Check if it helps.

• Qosmio G20 - software missing disks

  I have a Qosmio G20, who had wiped hard drives caused by a virus.

  Reinstall the software to a disc that I seem to have misplaced. Apparently Toshiba canning is no longer a copy of this disk because it is an old model. I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem? I think that it is a corrected software dvd - rom as according to the user manual, it is the only software disc that came with the computer.

  Thank you

  For the installation of the OS, you can also use Microsoft installations CD.

• JBOD Qosmio G20 - could not initialize the disk of 320 GB - 1RAID-0

  Hello, comrades Toshiba users,
  at first, I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I did not find the answer to my problem.

  One of my colleagues has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB drives. Big 17-inch "surf-board-sized" computers laptops are not my cup of tea, but the Qosmio him quite well served.
  We tried to upgrade the two hard drives of aging in his laptop. With considerable experience in replacing the readers of the laptop, I didn't expect no particular surprise, but I was wrong.

  We tried to replace the original disks
  Bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, System
  2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off the coast of the Bay

  with the new
  Bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio
  WD Scorpio 2: 320 GB drive Bay.

  The BIOS of the G20 is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes new readers-, but one of the new marking as 1RAID-0 disks fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320 GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of the G20 of BIOS, there is a disk activity, but the drive remains in JBOD mode.

  Unable to mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320 GB drive as a system disk.

  If the original system drive is cloned on a new 320 GB drive, that it does not start. Starting XP * begins * but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when the Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows startup.
  Plain vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed windows installation driver Toshiba, impossible rest. Installing Windows don't "see" drive in Bay 2.

  When the drive system is put in the high Bay and G20 is started from it, Windows XP starts correctly. The drive in Bay 1 is accessable from Windows, however, remains offline in the RAID from Toshiba console. If the start player in Bay 2 is not an option, too.

  A similar problem, where the owner could not install a system of 200 GB drive is described here
  Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
  The owner, however managed to install a 100 GB drive and we have resorted to 80 GB of disk as a system disk and the only player upgrade in Bay 2 to 320 GB.

  I understand what happens when the disk is 'initialized' in the BIOS. Only brands of BIOS of Toshiba disk 1RAID-0, and it breaks down on 320 GB drive. I will refrain from expressing my opinion on this practice.

  My question is - if it is possible, how * manually * mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0?
  Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also know the disc more large size which * can * be marked with success under the name of 1RAID-0 at BIOS G20.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure, what could be wrong by presumably 320 HARD drive size might be too big!
  How about the 100 GB or 120 GB hard drives?

  I think you should consider it because usually most of the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.

  But note; using the configuration of 1RAID-0 (striping), met by the operating system size is twice more only if the smaller of the two HARD drives in RAID configuration. Using RAID-0, all data on both disks will be lost, even if it is training of two disks fails.

• Qosmio G20: How to get the higher screen resolution on monitor external 22 "

  I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW the external display. The Samsung has a max resolution / optimal 1680x1050px. The manual SAIS the laptop Toshiba supports a resolution of the external display up to 2048 x 1536...

  I tried now all sorts of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440 x 900 (-even as the laptop).
  1440 x 900 display 22 '' is not enough for serious photo editing;. It seems simply blur.

  What I am doing wrong? I deeply appreciate answers/comments; because if 1440 x 900 is all I can get, I have to return to the external monitor to the store...

  If someone is so good!
  Espen.

  Hello

  The available screen resolution depends on the graphics driver. You cannot choose the favorite one from the 1680 x 1050 resolution because it doesn t graphics card driver supports.

  Perhaps an update of the graphics driver could help.

  By the way; an inf file must be provided by the manufacturer of the monitor. You can install this file right-click and choosing install.

• Question about volume adjust the volume knob - Satellite Pro U300

  Hello

  I have a problem with the volume control. When I adjust the volume using the button on the left side of the laptop, I can only choose 3 levels of "loudness":

  No volume, very quiet volume and maximum volume (from rabies).

  Is this normal, is not anyone have problems with this?
  I hope that the problem is because of the digital volume adjustment screw. The adjuster does not record the exact position of the volume button. Every time when I get a phone call at work (I listen to internet radio), I turn off the radio by using the adjustment screw on the side of the laptop. When I end the phone call, I always need to open the laptop and the volume on the windows task bar, because when I use the device volume control on the left side of the laptop, it will just immediately at maximum volume.

  Welcome them

  Hello

  It s very strange that your volume control contains only 3 levels of volume
  I noticed that Toshiba has released a new driver (v. 6.0.1.5473) sound on the European driver page.

  How about if the update driver sound?
  Audio driver certainly controls the volume sound and in my opinion it s worth a try.

  Good luck

• Re: Qosmio F60 - how to make the volume buttons to only work with Media Player?

  Hello.

  I was wondering if I could make the Volume up and Volume down button keys compatible with my AIMP3 Media Player software.

  I tried to press on them, only to realize the right controls the overall volume of Windows.
  I tried the assignment of the keys to the keyboard shortcut list in the software. But he continued to play with the volume of Windows.

  No idea how to fix this to make it work with my Player volume only?

  My OS is Windows 7 64 bit

  Thanks in advance.

  > No idea how to fix this to make it work with my Player volume only?
  AFAIK you cannot fix it. These buttons are for the Windows level volume only.
  But I don't see why it is so important. Set the volume level in WMP to the maximum level and simply change the level of Windows. In General, the result is the same. Or not?

• Satellite A300 - 25G, how to increase the flexibility of the volume knob?

  Is it possible to increase the sensitivity or responsiveness of the wheel of digital volume control on the front of the laptop?

  Front of the A300, I had another Toshiba laptop with an analog volume control wheel, which was much more comfortable to use. A tour would only serve across the entire volume. The a300 wheel must be returned several times to systematically reduce the volume.

  As it is digital, I imagine that there is some sort of driver control wheel, so we need a way to set the sensitivity of it. But I couldn't find anything myself.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  > Is it possible to increase the sensitivity or responsiveness of the wheel of digital volume control on the front of the laptop?

  I doubt that this is possible I have a U400 and another laptop Satellite with the same volume wheel and didn t find settings that could increase the sensitivity of the volume wheel

  You can increase the volume in Control Panel-> sound-> playback and set the volume level separately.

  See you soon
