Qosmio G30 - No. HDD recognized during installation of Windows 7

HY, I tried to install win 7 on my Toshiba Qosmio G but after running the installer of windows 7, it does not find the drives to install on. My Qosmio has 2 discs. In the BIOS, they are marked as SATA (I can't change this setting) and the first to RAID0 and the second JBOS.

When you run the installation from my XP environment, I get the message that the AHCI driver is not installed. I downloaded the latest driver for storage of matrix from Intel and upload it in the setup of Windows 7, but it still does not recognize my discs. See a suggestion or an answer to my problem?

Of course, I installed the latest version of the BIOS... it's from 2008-09. Intel matrix storage drivers where very recent 17/07/2009. But according to the website of Microsoft AHCI and SATA drivers must be included in the installation of Windows in any case.

PS the version that I'm trying to install is RC build 7100

Thanks for some comments,
Bert

Hello

First of all, you should tell us what model Qosmio you exactly. There are many different Qosmio models on the market.

To me it sounds like that, you simply use the wrong driver AHCI/RAID. If your Qosmio is equipped with a RAID controller you need other drivers and not the Intel Storage Manager. To install Windows in this case, you have RAID drivers they belongs to the RAID controller.

As said Akuma search site Web from Toshiba RAID drivers:

  • Qosmio G30-153 too slow during installation

    Hello people,

    My Qosmio G30-153 takes too much time to install normal programs/software. For example, it took me over 3 hours to install Office XP! -C' is ridiculous. Also it stucks in the first 4 "bars" when I try to install Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It stucks on the "new" copy files Please what can I do to fix this? -Is that someone has this kind of a problem?

    I should send it for service?

    For now, I want to install dreamweaver 8 and install 9 hours now. That's half of the process. This is too MUCH fraustrating! Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Vasilias

    That s is amazing! You need 9 hours to install a simple web application!
    It's very strange and I would first say that there must be a hardware malfunction

    But did you install all the applications 3rd? What about the CPU usage? Open the Task Manager and check if there is no strange background on the laptop running process
    Have you checked for some malicious software system?

    You defragment the HARD disk? Please also start the 'chkdsk' for the HARD disk check

    Hello

    your machine has a RAID controller, so before installing windows, you must install the RAID controller before. This occurs after you´ve began installing XP. Then a message on the bottom of the screen will appear that tells you that you must press F6 if you install HARD drive controllers (or something that way).
    You need to install the RAID driver from a USB floppy drive, which can be downloaded here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    After you have installed the driver for your drive HARD will be displayed, and you would be able to install XP.

  • Solution: The USB floppy drive is not recognized during installation of XP of RAID

    Hello

    This Solution is for notebooks Qosmio with RAID driver during (manual installation of windows)

    I found the Solution to this problem,

    [When you install Microsoft Windows XP by using a floppy drive USB on a player who]
    requires a driver during the installation, the USB floppy drive is not recognized in all
    installation. When Windows XP searches the driver of the second time, he will not be able to see
    the floppy USB drive drive and prompts the user for the driver (RAID) again.
    The installation will never reach this point. ]

    Solution:

    This is a limitation of Microsoft, the Floppy Drive are do not appear in the file Windows 'txtsetup.sif.

    Simply change the floppy drive in another brand and avoid Usb 2.0 external Usb floppy plus old 1 Try
    Also note the back of drive sometimes they write (no bootable) avoid this also

    I personally Test this and it does not work it is "IBM Portable floppy drive" drive silver
    P/N 27L 4226, FRU P/N 05K 9283 TEAC CORPORATION MODEL NO. FD-05PUB

    The following USB floppy drives are listed in the file "txtsetup.sif" and are supported:

    Device ID = VID: 057B and PID: 0000 for external floppy USB SONY drive, Sony 09K 9835 part number

  • Qosmio G30 - 126 - hdd instaltion Win7 or Vista appears

    Hi all

    I have a Qosmio g30-126 system.
    I don't have the recovery CD.
    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 - BIOS need to be updated for Windows 7

    Hey,.

    I am trying to install win7 (not beta) on Qosmio G30 (PQG32E with HD-DVD).
    I begin the installation, and copying the files on the hard drive. Then the computer restarts for installation.
    But every time you start ends in a blue screen with the error: stop 0x0000007E. The text of the blue screen is not little say on an update of the BIOS. But there is no latest BIOS available on the Toshiba site. BIOS 3.90 is installed. There is no other is available.

    XP and Vista runs without problem.

    BIOS with a standard configuration.

    Concerning
    File

    Hello

    I don't see any question in your message, but you probably want to know if Toshiba will offer BIOS updates. I am sure that nobody here can give you a definitive answer but, in my opinion, Qosmio G30 will be not supported with Win7.

    The first series of Qosmio G30 is delivered with WXP MCE and later with Vista. Thus, this model of laptop is quite old. I watched how Toshiba treated with old laptops when Vista was on the market again and not over a year of two laptops have been supported. So I think with Win7 will be the same story. All laptops, not more than one year one or one and a half not will be not supported for Win7.
    I think in the future that Toshiba does not update the BIOS designed for Win7.

    Of course, I wish wrong me about this, but the future will show whether or not it is just my opinion.

    In any case, good luck.

    Have you installed the drivers SATA asks to press F6 to install drivers from floppy drive?  Assuming you have this type of "new HDD" with your new motherboard.  (small cable from motherboard to the drive instead of wide ribbon cable.)
     
    You may need to go into the bios of the computer to IDE mode to install the operating system.  Once installed, you can install the SATA drivers and then move into the bios SATA mode for the HARD disk controller.
  • 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:
