Qosmio G30 (PQG31) - problem with cloned hard drives

Hi all!

* Qosmio G30-154 * (* PQG31 *).

Demo of the Qosmio has 2 hard drives with XP MCE (32 bit) installed on the primary.
The RAID parameters are JBOD.
BIOS is "newer" 3.90

I would try to upgrade the drives (without installing any OS) and... have a problem!
BSOD "Stop 0x0000007B" after 'clone with resizing' for the main HARD disk.

I read on [drivers Toshiba RAID | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48489] also [how to integrate the AHCI driver when installing Windows XP | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm] and (or)
[SATA and AHCI Intel Matrix Storage Management Software: "the installation program found no hard disk units installed in your computer" Error Message during Manual Installations | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B020R0000R01.htm], but I don't want to install OS, I want to keep intact my OS work.
F6 (for all usb drivers) is not available to boot OS, sorry.

"cloned" drive is in line with the correct name of made in the BIOS. "Cloned" secondary drive works (with old primary school). How to get access to the new primary OS and loading cloned? Please, any ideas?

Thank you.

Hello

I think that the system cannot boot to the new HARD disk as the partition where the system is installed, was not marked as bootable system partition.

I recommend to insert the previous HARD drive and to start the laptop.
HARD drive new, cloned could be connected as an external HARD drive to a USB port.

Then you should go to disk management (right click my computer - manage-> management-> disk management computer)
Here you can see the HARD internal disk and the 2nd HARD drive connected to the USB port
Right-click on the partition (2nd HARD drive) where the Win XP has been installed and choose the partition as the system partition and mark it as active.

Then you could change the HARD drive again and could power the device in place. Usually, the system should boot to the top of the new marked system partition.

  • 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.

  • Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

    My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

    I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

    To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

    If someone put me on how I could fix this?

    Note of the moderator; email address removed before finding too much spam

    This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

    Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

    The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

    If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

    If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

    If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

    In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

    Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.

  • problems with upgrade hard drive on X200s

    Hi I'm trying to upgrade my old hard drive (SATA 200 GB at 7200 RPM) on my X200s (Windows XP - SP3, 3 GB of RAM) to a new hard drive: Seagate Momentus 750 GB

    To do this, I created 3 partitions in my new hard drive:

    1. a 400 GB partition to recreate the existing Windows system

    2. a 25 GB recovery partition, which is preventing the drive from origin of the existing partition from rescue

    3. the rest (about 325 casuals) on a FAT32 partition empty (on which I intend to install linux or freebsd later)

    Then I cloned the recovery disks and windows using Acronis and then replaced the old disk with a new one.

    Finally, I see the following error message:

    Playing a disc error has occurred

    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

    I tried to fix the master boot record using a disk objects, but the hot spare displays the blue screen of death at half way through. Put the old drive brings the system online. New drive works as well when I put in a basket USB and find in files.

    So I would like to know if there is a way to step by step to diagnose the problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, I think I thought about her. There seems to be some kind of problem of bootloader. To fix a little:

    1 make sure that you create a rescue disk before doing the clone and replace. I highly recommend the Hiren's boot disk that you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/

    2. can the amorçage using this disk. From there, I see the options - Boot Windows / XP in the main hard drive (it's the first option). When I select it, I can start fine in the cloned disk.

  • Problem with external hard drive (an unexpected error - 50)

    I've had this problem for a few months now. Sometimes, I can't delete a file from my external hard drive, or export a file to it. The process is impossible, and I get a message "Cannot perform the action due to an unexpected error - 50". Ejecting the disc gives the message "eject impossible because another program can use it." Ejection force becomes the only option. After re-login, the problem goes away, like nothing ever happened.

    The question is not constant, but quite common to become a nuisance, the one I want stopped.

    That's what I think it is (a bad connection with the cable, defective contact), or is this a virus? I need to know.

    The hard drive is 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and is formatted as Mac OS extended (Journalized).

    not a virus, and not only because there is no virus mac at this time.

    negative errors on the discs can be a signal indicating that the file is corrupted or worse still, the drive is failing. While it can also be a problem with the cable or the connector that it commonly goes back on the disc itself.

    Currently, it is recommended that you backup your data if a backup fails, you may need to save what you can manually and sometimes that means go to this folder by folder or file by file

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    All HARD drives (and SSD') eventually fail and while this isn't a your statement you should check the drive with disk utility (Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) after you got what you possibly can off and consider replacing the disk with a new one.

  • Qosmio X 500-warranty with new HARD drive?

    I purchased a Qosmio X 500 last month (warranty: 1 year)

    If I change my hard disk and install my own Windows 7 on it, I lost my Toshiba 1 year warranty?

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    Don t be to worry about this! You will not lose warranty if swap you the HARD drive and install another operating system. These easy updates as HARD or RAM drive poses no problem, but don t disassemble the whole laptop.

    By the way: If burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can install the Windows 7 preinstalled on the new HARD drive too :)

  • Strange problem using cloned hard drive - Equium L20

    I recently cloned the 40 GB Toshiba hard drive in my Equium L20. Boot from the new drive everything starts fine, but for some reason, I can't the LAN or wireless to work!

    For example, to view the settings on the wireless generally show a window with 3 tabs, one for services, one for authentication and one for the firewall (I am running XP here). But on the new disc hard, I see two tabs, the Authentication tab is missing. Looking at the Device Manager on the original hard drive - I have two devices as expected, LAN and Wireless, but on the cloned drive here? loads, including loads of trend Miniport drivers too.

    It's like something has not just copied, and I don't know where to start!

    Hello

    I m not an expert on this subject.
    But who knows? Maybe you have cloned the drive properly!
    It really seems like you did something wrong.

    How do you clone HARD drive?

    In my case, I only create an image of a partition C. This partition has been saved as an image .gho file.
    I can always use this file and can restore my C partition on each new HARD disk that is installed in my notebook.
    and everything works smoothly!

    Hi Scoobydoos,

    NOTE: PLEASE HAVE A GOOD BACKUP ON AN EXTERNAL MEDIUM BEFORE PERFORMING ANY FUNCTION INVOLVING REPARTITION YOUR HARD DRIVE

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    Of the information you have provided.  Here is the configuration that I believe that you have on your PC.

    1. A 250 G hard drive
    2. A score of 30 g

    If there is already more partitions on this hard drive, it is difficult to the above message.

    If your current configuration is as I have suggested, then here is the procedure that you must follow to create a new partition.

    Disk 0 should show as a BASIC DISK - beside the C:\ which has 30 GB should be shown - next to her is about 200 GB of unallocated space.  -However, if you have another partition besides the C:\---il comes to the partition which should be right click and SHRINKAGE of VOLUME must be selected on.  - but from the information provided, I can't confirm it's you have your system configured as.

    Right-click NEW VOLUME SIMPLE-, select unallocated space, and follow the wizard to create the new Volume.

  • Problem with large HARD drive > 2 TB

    Hi people.

    I have a new server with 4.5 TB in RAID 5 and I would use it for Virtual Machines.

    But whatever I do, the local data store by ESXi cannot be more than 1.41 TB (I guess 600GB's for Esxi itself).

    So there is a limit of 2 TB that Esxi is only 32-bit?

    I divided my raid and installed Esxi on a disc Go 700 and would like to create a different data store on 3 TB raid.

    But unfortunately, if I use the data store on the first HARD drive (say 500GB) I can only create another store of data with 900 GB maximum.

    VMware Infrastructure shows me that there is more space on the raid, but it is not available for partitioning, or to assigning a new data store.

    A way to solve this problem?

    I have 6 x 750 GB SAS and would prefer RAID 5 for all discs, resulting in 3.5 TB disc space

    I would llike to use every bit on my local raid.

    regardless of the size of the LUN, using all available space is not a good idea.  You must leave a free space (15-20%).

    Windows 8 and above have info on the motherboard which will see you put Windows 8 x hard disk and if same sys op you precrash, it will authenticate it and you'll be fine.  You should never buy sys op on windows 8 and especially if you put same op sys on new hard drive.

    I agree with user Stephen.
    The file format of HARD drive seems to be FAT32, you must format the HARD disk to NTFS to be able to manage files over 4 GB.
