Qosmio G30-211: how BIOS update on Vista 64-bit?

Hello

The VAP is not compatible with Vista 64 bit. For the execution of the BIOS updated common modules of necessary VAP. Vicious circle!
Do you know of ways to improve the new version of the BIOS (3.50 win) not under Vista?
The real BIOS manual upgrade (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07) is not correct and not suited to the content of the package (for example after unpacking, I can't find the files "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW")?

Hello

Because of your first thread posted here in the forum, I guess you have a laptop Qosmio G30-211. This unit belongs to the series of PQG32E.

Now, we must clarify something;
Toshiba laptops are not delivered with a 64 bit OS. Also the Qosmio G30-211 not was not preinstalled with Vista 64 bit, but with 32-bit Windows, XP Media Center Edition 2005.

In my opinion, to run the original image of Toshiba (or MS Vista 32 bit OS) for updating the BIOS. And not a 64 bit OS!
The BIOS of 3, 50 - WIN at the moment on the Toshiba page is OS independent, so it should be available for updating Vista or Xp.

In the BIOS zip file you will find only an exe file, and you must run this file to launch the BIOS update procedure.

By the way; the document said Toshiba;

For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.
-Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
-Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.
We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

    Hmm... it's strange?  :|

    The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

    I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

    However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.

  • How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

    Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
    Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

    that would prevent me from making the web.

    (I like to keep all my installed Sony devices & drivers more bits & bats).
    The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

    But does that mean?

    Peut-there please help me someone?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

    It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

    First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

    I get the above error when you try to run Windows Update on Vista 32 bit.

    I use an Asus laptop and have used the Asus recovery cd.
    I just replaced the old HD (500 gb) as it failed with a 750 GB HD.

  • Qosmio G30 - I can't update the BIOS

    I have a Qosmio G30 * PQG31A-01Y01F model number * purchased from the Australia.

    I downloaded the update to the BIOS (version 3.90) of the Australian from Toshiba Web site. But it still says "the computer is not supported. I know that this message appears when you try to update the BIOS to one lappy with another.

    Its frustrating because I am very sure that I downloaded the correct bios listed on the Australian site. It is very incompetent on the part of toshiba for not providing the correct bios of the same.

    Why cant they put an all .bin file. Now they are confused with that support, they have released so many model of qosmio worldwide

    I need this update bios because because it's a model that has been registered under the program repair GPU. Lappy so expensive and they come with a such blunder upward.

    It's strange. I found the same BIOS on another site of Toshiba, try this: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080911134528.zip

    PS. you have installed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit? Is it Vista or XP?

  • Qosmio G30-176: BSOD when installing Windows Vista Edition full

    I have my wisdom(??!!) I bought a Toshiba Qosmio g30-176 with preinstalled Windows XP MCE 2005. The plan was to install Windows Vista Ultimate on drive D: (do the dual machine boot XP & Vista). I've updated the BIOS today on the Toshiba site and I ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor.

    I started the upgrade of Vista (custom) and installed the Toshiba RAID drive C: Qosmio (driver C:\toolscd\raid) driver. Installation starts copying the files from the Vista installation disc. This completes OK.

    The upgrade then continues to "unpack"(?) ". files - part way through this restarting of the o/s.
    To restart the Qosmio stop with the blue screen of death and the "SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" message "STOP: 0x0000006f (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  • Qosmio G30 HD-DVD (PQ31): updated Value Added Package

    I wonder if anyone has noticed this. They offer a value-added package update dated 08/01/2008 my Qosmio G30 HD - DVD (PQ31). The file reference is vap - 20080108132320.zip. I downloaded and installed the utilities contained in the compressed file, but now when I boot my laptop with Vista Ultimate, what follows are reported as incompatible with my version of the system: Toshiba Power Saver, Toshiba zooming Utility, Toshiba Wireless Hotkeys utility, Toshiba Raid Utility, controls of Toshiba, Toshiba Touchpad, utility, utilities Toshiba & finally Intel ProSet Wireless Driver.

    After checking the zipped file, I noticed that the installation files are named for the PQ-32 my PQ-31!

    Could this be the problem or Toshiba is not compatible Vista Ultimate? Your comments would be greatly appreciated

    PS I assume that this question should be addressed to Toshiba direct, but strangely, they fail to give an address for your comments.

    Zaki

    Hello Zaki

    Please don't be crazy about me, but what you wrote is noting but totally absurd. There is no difference between the versions of Vista and all Toshiba designed tools, utilities, or packages are universal and can be installed on every version of Vista.

    Qosmio G30 is quite long on the market and you are the first person who says something like that. I really wonder why?

    VAP is identical for both Qosmio models and there is no difference. PAxxx number is different but the platform is the same and there is no reason to make two different veterinary antimicrobial products.

    To be honest, one thing is interesting to me: How do you get the following are reported as incompatible with the version of my system?

    Before you try to install already preinstalled VAP should be removed first. If you do a clean install of Vista Ultimate there should not be any problems at all, just follow the order of the facilities.

    I want to install the Win7 or Win Vista.
    It is not showing me the two 200 + 200 HARD drive.

    Please tell to me what I'm doing.

    Hi mate

    I think that you don t need a driver SATA, but RAID driver!

    AFAIK the Qosmio G30 supports RAID and so you must include the RAID driver.
    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the RAID driver that is listed in the list.

    Note: Choose the Archive in the Type of product because G30 is an old series.

    After having downloaded and uzipped the driver, you need to add this driver during Windows Setup configuration.

  • Qosmio G30-126: how simultaneously connect analog TV and TV satellite

    Hi, I have a Qosmio G30-126 and you have a problem with receiving simultaneous TV analog (by TV-in the port of integrated TV tuner) and satellite satellite set - top box (by AV-in ports).

    I can't program Windows Media Center for analog TV (but not satellite STB) per port, TV antenna and it works perfectly.
    I can't program Windows Media Center for digital satellite STB (but no TV analog) channels by AV-in port and it works perfectly.
    But I can't program Windows Media Center for the two TV analog I satellite STB, because during programming WMC forces me to choose between analog satellite or cable or SATELLITE box and does not allow me to choose two signal sources.

    For me, it's a big problem, because I have cable (analog) TV and satellite STB with digital channels. And I want to watch all the channels on my Qosmio.
    Could someone help me?

    >... because during the WMC program forces me to choose between analog satellite or cable or SATELLITE box and does not allow me to choose two signal sources.
    I think that in this statement you answered your question. I got Qosmio G30 a long time ago, and I also know that WMC can't handle with two sources of signals at the same time.
    To confirm that contact Microsoft and ask them. I mean that they have designed WMC and know how it works exactly.

    Toshiba has to provide suitable equipment (TV tuner) to provide the TV option on this laptop.

    The screen to the right corner is not sure as the rest of the 3 corners of the screen.
    How can I tighten again?

    Where are the screws on the screen?

    Hello

    Have you tested the laptop to an external monitor? Perhaps it is not a problem with the monitor and your graphics card or card mother is causing this issue.
    Check it!

    Moreover I replaced didn't a computer laptop screen myself again because it s too difficult and delicate in my opinion. You need to remove a large number of screws and you should be very careful that you n t destroy a part or material of the laptop.

    I think the best way is to contact a local laptop technician you. They can try to help you and they have enough experience for the exchange of material on a laptop computer.
