  I have a brand new Qosmio G20. It has been properly installed according to list of instructions installation of Toshiba (all listed in the correct order.

  Unfortunately, whenever I start (WinXP Pro), I received a message that the system has detected new hardware. In the presentation of the material, it lists a "video-controller as" and a "PCI device" that it has not been installed correctly. I tried to solve this by downloading all kinds of latest drivers on the Toshiba site. But apparently the system is still missing some drivers, although I can't know who they should be. Also in this situation, I have no sound available. I tried to reinstall the audio driver. But at the end of the installation procedure, it says that the driver is not found and leaves the facility?

  Help, please...

• 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

  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.

  Hello

  Maybe your Win XP OS does not include the RAID driver!

  Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality and you must include the RAID driver during the installation of WIN XP by pressing the F6 key.
  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

  If you need information more than just posting it here ;)

• Qosmio F20 - no sound after installing Win XP

  Hello everyone,

  I need some help here...
  I use Toshiba Qosmio F20 and have re-installed with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.
  All the drivers were all updated and all seems fine. But now there is no sound at all, even when I turn on or increase the volume.

  It has nothing to do with enabling / disabling, cause there is no effect.
  A few hours earlier, everything was fine. Is it because the qosmio must be installed with XP Media Center Edition?
  What should I do then, cause I don't have the recovery disc more?
  Where can I find solutions.

  Thank you

  After checking the Device Manager and don't check the drivers and no system sounds or the solution I did a system restore to 3 days earlier, which was not good like Webroot came up with all these infections / threats proves again and had to be removed. I checked the sound before I greeted Removeal for the 2nd time, NO NOISE, so I proceeded to the elimination of the threat.   No sound.

  So I decided I want to restore my computer wayyy back I'd go with was back to 3/17 and today, it is 3/30 in the way. NO sound.

  I'm new to this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in the Brazil. I have a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
  To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
  You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.

  Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:

  11. navigate to the location you copied the RAID drivers then press 'OK '.
  12. the installation program will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
  13 make sure that the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected, and then press "next".

• Y570 Sound device does not

  Hi people,

  No sound in my Y570. When I play music from windows media, he said that Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly. Although I can always cut, disable, and change the volume I have always not able to receive all the sounds. I already check the installed drivers are up to date and they are working properly. There are 3 of them on the tab (audio, video controller and game) cyberlink virtual webcam driver, intel (r) display audio and high definition realtek finally audio.

  Please help me... I have a presentation power point on the way...

• Qosmio G20: Possible boot from a USB device?

  Dear all,

  I am writing for you good people was whether it is possible to start a Qosmio G20 via a connected USB device, an external hard drive.

  I wonder if it is taken in charge (or tolerable) within the limits of the current Qosmio G20 BIOS and/or if any could attempt on my part to make taken in charge (i.e. are there buttons I can push levers, I can pull or numbers I can play to get there).

  The reason why I have is that my laptop has a multitude of technical difficulties that point to the hardware failure, among them a vertical line on my screen and a problem with my optical drive, making it impossible for me to write a CD or DVD.

  In the unlikely event that the good folks at Toshiba support are forced to replace the hard drive (or the system) it would be nice to have a way to restore the system to its current configuration (in this sense, I'm looking for a way to create my own bootable recovery disc produced) however the lack of functionality in the Department of optical drive ties my hands a little (I can't create a recovery of) product custom CD/DVD but I might create a product on my external HARD drive recovery partition).

  Thus, it would be useful to be able to boot from a USB, not essential of course as any disk image could be comfortably written to disk through my soon-to-be renovated system (of course it would be quicker to start just by the USB bus and avoid all this nonsense).

  Sincere greetings,
  Lee Hyde.

  Hello

  I am sorry to say that you will not be able to boot from the external USB HDD. The BIOS does not support this feature.
  According to different threads here in the support of forum Toshiba Qosmio G20 BIOS supports these devices to start:
  Floppy USB drive, 1st/2nd HDD, ODD, network (LAN)

  As you can see it s possible to floppy USB FDD but not the USB external HDD
