Qosmio G30-145: WinXP and RAID driver - no response

• Qosmio G30 - Question on the Raid driver

  Do I really need this driver to use RAID functions? If its set in BIOS, what makes the pilot actually do? outside you give health statistics?

  See you soon

  Yes, you need the RAID driver.
  I think that the Qosmio G30 has been designed with the RAID feature as some units of the G20.
  Without this RAID driver, you will not be able to install the OS because the OS Setup may not recognize the HARD drive.

  RAID uses two options:
  RAID 0 (Striping): two hard disks are used as a big drive, if a HARD disk fails all data is lost
  RAID-1 (Mirroring): hard drives contain the same data if a disk fails, data is not lost

  I think you could check this announcement and also use the advanced search to forum for more results on RAID.

• Qosmio G30: How to add the driver RAID without floppy drive?

  I'll put win xp tomorrow, as far as I can remember I will be asked to insert a floppy with additional RAID/SCSI drivers - I guess I need some drivers for XP see my RAID stripe.

  I was able to download 'raid-drv-qog20-xp - 1380.zip', but I'm afraid to look if my laptop has a floppy drive... How can I add the driver did not have a floppy drive?

  Hello

  Maybe a stupid comment, but if you can buy Qosmio G30 I presume that you can also get a used floppy disk. I did this a few times with Vista and Qosmio G30 and it works well.

  Check eBay. You will get the drive used for a few euros. Otherway tries to create CDs and if the RAID drive must travel to ODD, I didn't try because I have a FDD, but you can test it on your Qosmio.

• Qosmio G30-145: RAID1 is degraded - KRC RAID configuration error

  I made a few mistakes... I installed the German version recovery dvd OP and during the installation of my foolness I fact also (mirrored) HDD = HARD drive... something like that...
  now there is a denunciation of the BACK: (if I wanted to get it back once more from toshiba dvd recovery, because I did the format...)

  in the black window:

  Manage the RAID configuration.
  # Mode GET1 F
  # 0 x 00 not 'F' flags!
  Get the current status of RAID...
  RAID level = RAID-1 (mirror)
  Status: degraded
  : Error KRC RAID configuration!
  Please go to BIOS to set up a valid RAID configuration. (I tried all variations... but without success... every time the same thing...)
  Press a key to continue...
  end

  HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

  Hello

  Ok. You have changed the RAID settings in the BIOS.
  In my opinion, you can use the CD of restoration with the default RAID settings in the BIOS.
  I mean that the RAID driver on the recovery cd was preinstalled and you have changed the settings RAID in the BIOS for the recovery CD did not work properly.

  Do not mix the original Windows CD from Microsoft with the recovery CD. The CD-ROM of Microsoft the RAID driver is not, but on the recovery CD.

  I checked the Qosmio manual I found on the Toshiba site.
  If you want to install the original WinXP you must safe the RAID driver on the floppy.
  In addition the in table settings BIOS RAID, make sure that the built-in HDD is set to 1RAID-0.

  The RAID in the BIOS configuration settings are described as follows:
  JBOD - parameters without RAID, Windows cannot be installed on this drive except by using the recovery CD/DVDs.
  1RAID-0 - compatible set RAID. Windows can be installed on the drive
  2RAID-0 - 0 for 2 hard drives RAID set
  RAID 1 -RAID-1 set for 2 hard drives (current only)
  UNKNOW - State RAID except the State and settings (State only) above
  No. Drive - no hard drive connected

  If you accept the settings you must type a string: 1,2,3,4 then enter. At the end you must save all change in the BIOS.

  You have suggested that you have the German language. If you want to read the manual in English you can download it from the site.

• Qosmio G30: Conflict between the audio driver Sigmatel and Vista SP1

  Hello
  I have a laptop Qosmio G30 PQG32E and impossible to move to Vista SP1 because the driver Sigmatel (6.10.5462.0) is in conflict with the service pack.
  As some of you may know, there is no Sigmatel and IDT who bought them is so say nonexistent, saying to contact the OEM directly to drivers updated.

  Is there a plan to upgrade the audio driver?
  There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
  If you use Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe process consumes 800 MB and more after an hour of continuous work.

  I hope for an update driver stable and more stability of the SP1.
  I am a dreamer?

  The problem is that the final version of Vista SP1 is brand new and it may happen that some drivers don't support this new service pack.
  In this case the driver needs to be updated.

  If you will not find the latest version on the Toshiba page then maybe you can find it here:

  http://www.IDT.com/?ID=3969

  In any case, the solution is the update driver and sooner or later, the update will be available.

• No his TV on Qosmio G30 with WinXP Pro

  I have a Qosmio G30 and was forced to install XP PRO due to the network at work. My IT support managed to get all the drivers installed, and everything seems to work properly. The only question that i'got is that I have no sound while watching TV. Either in the Qosmio player or WinDVR.

  In Device Manager, the sounddrivers appears as "rather old" and "old videodrivers", is the same version of XP MCE?

  Some of you who installed XP PRO can help me please?

  Hello

  Have you checked the page of the Toshiba driver?
  I checked this page and found that 3 different Qosmio G30 drivers exist on the page.
  First, you must choose the correct unit.
  Second, if you are installing the drivers manually you should check the site installation instructions document and you should follow this guide line.

  Moreover I didn t find the drivers, particularly for WinXP Pro, but only for WinXP MCE, but I presume that these drivers also work with XP.

  In any case, for most of his TV problems occur because of wrong settings PAL/SECAM.
  Please also check these options.

• Qosmio G30 - a new CD/DVD drive is not working properly

  Hiya all

  I hope someone can help me. I had to replace my TS-L802A drive by another of the same model, except that when I replaced the drive I have problems to boot the CD and the laptop (Qosmio G30) rejects saying CD error at startup.

  I managed to install the operating system from a flash drive and it works great except for the side of cd rom of things. I have the flash player so that the laptop to recognize it? If yes how can I do to do that. I think the chipset for the optical drive is set as slave or something and not master.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  The readers of CD/DVD slimline for laptops are controlled by the firmware.
  The firmware controls the master/slave/c-selc settings.

  You need a player that is compatible with Qosmio G30.
  Your drive you bought may be compatible with a laptop, but if the settings are not compatible with Qosmio G30/bios of the controller, then, you wouldn't be able to use it

  There are no jumpers or anything else that could be changed as mentioned that he controlled by software

• Qosmio G30 display flickering and cannot connect to Windows

  I have to press F5 to make the visible display each time that I boot. I thought that it was a software related issue and I tried to format the drive with recovery CD original. However, the screen keeps flickering of the stage of the BIOS.
  Now, it's even worse. The screen flashes when the turning on and I cannot Ouvrezunesession Windows MCE after formatted HARD drive.

  After reading the FAQ and related articles, I suspect that it was a problem of graphics (hardware).
  My graphics card is NVidia Go7600. Is this true, and it's a must to change the hardware (graphics card)?

  Appreciate your advice before contacting the local support team.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello!

  That s a strange question. Do you have the same problems on an external monitor?

  If a display is flashing, the screen itself is faulty, the FL tube is the cause of the error. I think that is the best, when an ASP (authorized service provider) checks your Qosmio G30.
  Here you can find one:

• Qosmio G30 model Japanese and Digital tuner

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G30-593ls which is a Japanese model. I know it has a digital tuner and I want to watch to watch TV in Australia on the Qosmio.

  So far, I have the right cable and were able to get the 5 analogue channels and watch these by Microsoft Media Center.

  But the analog channels are disappearing in a few months time and I prefer digital anyway.

  I was not able to get all the digital channels. I don't have the Toshiba software that I updated to win7 myself.

  My question is:

  Do I need to use a box office to watch digital TV on the Qosmio in Australia?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Pat.

  As far as I know the TV tuners in laptops vary by country material so I put t think you can use this internal tuner in the world.
  For this reason, I believe that you need an external device for watching digital TV in Australia.

• Qosmio G30(Japanese model) and television in Australia,

  Hello
  I bought a Qosmio g30 Japan about 6 years ago. I have now returned to Australia and want to watch TV on the qosmio. The cables provided to the Japan do not fit the connection of the antenna into the wall in Australia. I guess that I'm not the only person who has a Japanese model and wants to use it in Australia. Nobody knows what kind of converter plugs that I need?

  Any help is good.

  Pat.

  Hmm maybe you can order this adapter to a Toshiba ASP in your country
  Otherwise, you will need to check some special electronic merchants in downtown, perhaps they could provide an extra adapter for antenna cable

  Good luck

• Some problems with Qosmio G30-179 - remote and TV

  Hello, (I am French and my English is bad)

  I have a Qosmio G30-179 and I can't use my remote when the computer's power on. But I can use the remote to turn on my computer and I can use it when I use the TV and media keys (on the right of the power button).

  Another problem: I get nothing when I search for a signal TV on Media player. Even if I'm in a place where I already receive all TV channels. Maybe they had some problems undetected...

  All these functions have already worked and I realized that they do not work there is little time. But I don't use them for a long time, since I have received my computer, when he came back guaranteed (I send them because he had a problem in the bars of RAM.)

  Then, I think that there was a problem with the service. But I'm not sure.

  What do you think about this? Should I call them?
  Or this problem can be easily resolved?
  Thank you in advance.

  In this case, it is really not easy to give advice quite simply. If you are looking for the simplest solution I recommend you save all your data and install OS using recovery DVDs. After that make this laptop will have factory again and I hope that it will work as before.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G30 - capacity of the HARD drive even after disable RAID

  Hi all

  I have a G30 with two hard drives, which were broadcast in RAID 1 configuration for a year now. For RAID 1, I activated the mirroring and everything worked perfectly.

  However, I'm now running out of space so I turned off mirroring using RAID console.
  My question is "why do I always see the same capacity of HARD drive when I go on my computer? I hope that there is a simple answer to this.

  Thank you for Uncle Bob.

  Can you see the drive in disk management?
  Perhaps the HARD drive is not enabled or needs to be formatted.

  And the BIOS recognizes the another HARD drive?

  Hello

  The software is delivered on the hardware and you can not buy DVDs from separate recovery for another language of the OS. One possibility is to use Microsoft installations CD and after that, you can download all the stuff from Toshiba from the Toshiba download page.

  By the way: check this forum please, especially operating system topics Qosmio and Microsoft and you will find some of the topics on the procedure of the facilities on interesting Qosmio laptops.

• Qosmio E10 is slow and HARD drive makes noise constantly

  Hi people

  I also have a toshiba qosmio e10 notebook. I had problems with it as well lately.

  First it started with a slow start, and then at some point I started having error messeges.
  When I called the toshiba Helpline advises him to do a check disk. I did this and the problem is still involved.

  Now also the hard drive constantly makes noise, but once the computer was successfully loaded its usually very well, it's just starting. A similar thing experience?
  What is the best thing to do?

  I'm thinking of replacin the hard drive.
  Any help will be appreciated. thanx

  Hello

  The check disk (HARD drive) will not solve all problems, but this tool report some errors and problems with the HARD disk.
  You sounds description as a HARD disk failure.
  Maybe it's a beginning of the end of s.

  Several months ago I noticed something similar on my laptop.
  Two days after my 3 years old HDD was dead. It was just a head crash.
