Qosmio G20 - recovery Qosmio Player problems

Hi there, my computer HD has been replaced so I had to use the recovery CD, I tried to use the qosmio player but first it wouldn't start. I went to Toshiba HWSetup first changing CD-ROM boot order. Now it starts up on the CD but when I try to install says "you have 100 MB of free space on your hard drive. Uh, I do it. Help, please.

Hello

I recommend you to use a 3rd party product like Partition Magic. By using this software, you can prepare the HARD drive and create 100 MB free and unallocated (must be unallocated) space.

  • Qosmio G20: Problems with tuner TV and Qosmio player on Linux

    Hello!

    I would like to install a Debian's Linux distribution based on my machine... But it looks like there could be some problems with a TV tuner and the qosmio player.
    Is there someone who could help me with a viable solution for this?

    Lasse

    Hello

    Well, you need a TV tuner driver, but the problem is the LINUX operating system.
    There is no drivers for Linux. Toshiba doesn't supports Linux. In addition, you will not find also all the drivers.
    All you can do is to use the Windows operating system. The Knoppix and Kanonix are very nice Linux distributions. You can run these Linux from the live CD. You n t need to install anything.

  • Differences of the G20-118 HDD and Qosmio Player

    Hi all.
    I purchased a Qosmio G20-118 and theres a small diference between the hard drive.
    It has two built in 80GB HD, but in the bios, I see the first HD 79 GB and the second as 80 GB.
    Where is the 1 GB missing from the first HD? Qosmio player?
    If this is the case, then the RAID function only works with two 79GB HDD so I lose 2 GB HARD drive plus the loss of space for the RAID function aditional. If a drop about 5 GB of HARD drive.
    How do I get arround this?
    What I need to get rid of Qosmio Player to have two HD 80 GB? If so, how can I get rid of him?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You are right. The Qosmioplayer is preinstalled on the hidden partition. Because of this, the HARD disk capacity is less than 80 GB.

    In my opinion the Qosmioplayer is very nice and useful tool and it is not necessary to be deleted. If you want to use any ability of the second HARD disk do not use RAID option.

    Do the backup data on an external device. On this way, you will lose 1 GB available on both hard drives of 160 GB.

    Otherwise you must preinstall the unit with recovery media. After that the Qosmioplayer is deleted.

  • Qosmio G10-133 - Install Qosmio Player and using the recovery disk

    Hi again.

    My g10-133 was the mother of uypgraded installed by Toshiba that there are back and forward in his first year with problems of graphics chip, so they installed the motherboard with the 6200 chip chart.

    Until very recently, I installed Windows XP to one of my dead computers that I've ever had anywhere with my original recovery qosmio disc such that it has been damaged. I recently bought an other G10 as I wanted to replace the keyboard and display and it came with disks,

    I put in a raw player. I used the recovery of the Qosmio player disc, and this indicates that it is complete. I then installed the Toshiba Recovery disk that has Windows MCE on it. (I have now three original copies of the present). But when windows go to start, the computer gets past the Bios and then quickly goes to the blue screen of death... I tried to use break so that I can read this, but it does not work. I tried more than a windows disk, but not joy. I also had special instructions for Toshiba, which has the Qosmio updater on him, and also another drive which has some additional drivers.

    So far, I've tried all sorts and whenever I go to start the laptop, it crashes. The Toshiba recovery disc has two methods that an automatic and a step forward on (which I don't have a clue how to use). The automatic, which does not implement the normal windows installation, but evokes a Toshiba says... and it goes from 0% to 100% and ends each time.

    If I use my Windows XP disk from another pc it install fine. and the laptop is fine until it reaches download Windows SP3, which seems to slow everything down.

    I would like to install the Qosmio to style factory if pos.

    What you need to help your service provider which has replaced the motherboard. A long time ago I heard talking of this and what I know is that the machine must be ready for use: This means service must update the BIOS, verify compatibility of memory, RAID functions are not the same, Bios, EC/KBC and DMI must be updated and rewritten. The laptop owner must be willing to work with new hardware components.

    If I m remembering well this new mainboard has different chipset and recovery image that you are trying to install has really bad drivers inside. With other words: after the Exchange system motherboard drivers and the Qosmio Player require an update.

    You know the whole process is a bit complicated, but, as far as I know, Toshiba service provider must send you instructions for Qosmioplayer update and instructions for the update tool.

    At the moment I can't help you. Please call again and ask for help. If you will not get any help it let us know.

  • Qosmio G20 - how to start Qosmio Player mode?

    Hello

    I'm sorry, my English is bad.

    I recently bought a used Toshiba G20 with no CD. I installed Windows 7 and now I want to install QosmioPlayer. I downloaded the recovery cd of qosmio F10 and G10/G20, player recorded on a CD and installed successfully selection mode [1]. Now, I don't know how to activate the qosmio player? Help, please?

    Thank you

    Good day

    It's so old phone model and I m wondering you installed Win7 on it, but if it works well, it's really cool.

    I do not remember how it exactly works with Qosmioplayer but it is described in the document of the user s manual to check first: http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20071026083641.zip

    I hope that you have installed Qosmioplayer correctly. It should be installed on unallocated 200 MB of free space on the HARD drive.
    Qosmioplayewr has nothing to do with the OS and it is the small application based on Linux to watch TV, movies on DVD or CD listening without booting the operating system.

  • Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    ED.

    Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

  • Qosmio F10 - the Qosmio player Partition Recovery

    I have a Qosmio F10. He had the motherboard factory upgrade, RAM max, and a new 160 GB Samsung HARD drive mounted. So far so good. I've recently updated to Win7 and it was OK, once the drivers have been found, but I couldn't reinstall the Qosmio Player because apparently he found too little space.

    Hotline do not have much help, but I now realize that the QP is a Linux package in its own hidden partition. I've cleaned the disc, which makes an image of the system W7 on a USB HDD. Then I managed on the basis of reinstall the QP and update her, but the image will not recover in the form of images of Windows, I find now, will only recover a disk the same as the original or more.

    It is not of course because of the score of the PS. So how is it removed please? I tried everything so far.
    Just to make things to complete the product Toshiba Recovery DVD sent with the repaired machine is 70% complete and abandoned.

    Stephen

    Qosmioplayer is small application based on Linux, and according to the instructions of Toshiba s, must be installed as a first step, before you install the operating system. I m not 100% sure, but about 200 MB of free space on the HARD drive is required for installation of Qosmioplayer.
    It works perfectly when you use original Qosmioplayer and recovery disks but I put t know how it will work when you try to use your own image.

    I hope that someone else has the same model of laptop and solution for this.
    If you will be able to manage this please send a feedback.

    Hello

    That your laptop has a RAID?
    In my opinion Yes, there. In this case, you don't need a SATA driver but the RAID driver.

    Please visit this site and download the RAID driver.

  • Qosmio G20: Qosmio player and FM Tuner

    I saw a question on the FM tuner in the Qosmio G20 series (and other portable with Qosmio Player). Users responded that the Qosmio Player has no FM tuner! That's wrong!

    I did a manual search in Qosmio Player using frequency analysis, and it is possible to scan the frequency range of the FM band. So, I found a few radio stations that I can save. The resolution is not the best but you can easily find radio stations!

    Hello

    I agree with Togan. The units are supplied with different hardware configurations.
    As a result, some units support a tuner and are supplied without the tuner.

  • Language of Qosmio Player on Qosmio G10

    Hello

    I have a small problem 2 weeks ago, I was in Paris where I buy a G10 to a hypermarket of the Fnac. When I arrived home I reinstall windows because it was in french but I'm not able to find a Qosmio CD player English throughout the pack. Is it possible to download the iso image somewhere to be able to reinstall Qosmio player in English?

    Hello

    Sorry, I must say that, as I know the different models vary by country! At the Qosmio, which is very important because you have different standards of television in Europe. If a French machine couldn't work (like TV) in other countries.

    As far as I know that it is not possible to change the recovery to a Service partner CD without losing the original CD.

    Sorry, but I don't know much about the Qosmio player, but be careful with the update!

    Bye and happy new year!

  • Qosmio G30-194: cannot install on SSD OCZ Qosmio player

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Qosmio G30-194.
    When I have only used the hard drive regularly no problem with Qosmio Player facilities.
    But now, I replaced the HDD to the SSD OCZ.

    At this point impossible to install it.
    Always had the same massege "an error has occurred during the recovery of Qosmio Player! Please retrieve the image again from the beginning."

    Tried to put the Qosmio Player before installing the Windows Vista 32-bit, but the same results. Always used the original restore cd that I have the Toshiba.

    Someone knows a solution, please let me know.
    Thank you
    Kornel

    Hello

    There is a big problem. HDD SSD is too fast ;) and it is not recognized correctly. It is recognized as FlashDisc. I'm sure he's confusing procedure facilities Qosmioplayer. For the installation of the OS there is no problem at all.

    I don't see any solution. Maybe you can try to create a partition of unsllocated 5 GB in the front of the boot (C) partition to see if the Qosmioplayerwill be able to recognize as a destination for the installation. Otherway if you use Vista, but also WinRE partition. Oh man. It's quite complicated.
