• Qosmio G30 PQG32E - Bootmanager missing

  I'm running a Qosmio G30 PQG32E - a wonderful machine and I'm still waiting for Toshiba to bring out a new model with the same resolution.

  Vista has been installed at the origin of a Raid configuration.
  This was later changed to Windows XP and the disks in JBOD.
  Everything worked well.

  My son has improved the Win7 Professional machine - always very well.
  I took the machine back and installed Kubuntu with the original Vista recovery disc - still very well.
  During the year a lot of unnecessary baggage accumulated - also in the registry.
  I checked the score with TestDisk and found a myriad of old OS - including Vista. So, I did a clean install to clean both discs using DBan.

  I have reinstalled Kubuntu on disk2 intending to install Win7 on disk1.
  Win7 informs me that there is no hard drive - it find external USB drives but not the internal.
  Vista goes in the BSD - probably because the boot.ini is ste for a raid configuration (?).
  I reinstalled the MBR - checked it again with Testdisk and it seems ok.

  No boot manager! No hard drive in diskpart list disk.
  I did bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot /rebuildbcd - no joy.
  The internal hard drive are not and victory starts with C: being a USB key.

  What can I do else? I don't want to not really or need windoze could therefore only lkeave, but it puzzles me and maybe someone can point me in another direction.

  Yes, I downloaded the latest driver (TC0017000B.exe) raid but cannot run it because it is on USB and when running, it tells me that WBDHD44I.dll is missing.

  > Win7 informs me that there is no hard drive - it find external USB drives but not the internal.
  > Internal hard drive are not and victory starts with C: a USB key.

  Looks a bit like a HARD disk failure
  The HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?

  Check the HARD drive using freeware like Drive Fitness Test tool. The bootable disc would check the fitness of HARD drive and if the HARD drive is faulty, you will get an error.

  By the way: the TC0017000B.exe can be decompressed. If you unpack this package, you will get the files WBDHD44I. DLL, WBTOS45I. DLL and sys files.
  I recommend you move these package unpacked on USB key to add the RAID driver during the installation of Win 7.

• 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.

• Re: Qosmio G30-162 - updated graphics card

  However, I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-162, which until now has served me fine - games is becoming more advanced and requires more vram.

  My machine came with a GeForce 7600 256 MB has told me that the technician "is integrated with the Commission. Now buying a new pc isn't an option.
  It is therefore possible to update this machine graphics card or increase the amount of ram that the current map (I'm no stranger, with the help of a soldering iron)

  I would like to hear from someone who has experienced similar problems and found a solution.
  Any help appreciated thanks

  You will meet many people who has the same attention but I can tell you that this is not possible.
  GPU is mainly set at the Board of Directors and cannot be upgraded.
  And this isn't only a deal with Toshiba laptops, but it is usually not possible on all laptops from different manufacturers.

• Re: Qosmio G30 - RAID of the problems when installing the OS

  I got my Qosmio G30-161 for half a year and he had thought should be time to reinstall everything, so I could get rid of things I didn't need (programs, viruses and uninteresting video clips).

  So I took my XP MCE Cd and tried to install, and I am guided me through and come to the place where I had to choose between unknown 1st and 2nd 3rd stripping mirrored. I chose the stripping as I wanted my drives to be in one. Then when I pressed "next" it gave me the error message "1005 - HDD is not ready?

  I tried to go into the BIOS and change the setting of different parameters of Toshiba told me to, but he also warned that if I changed my OS settings will need to be reinstalled. No problem. But I still get the same message error "disk is not ready?". So now, I have to use a computer other than mine to check the forums and mail etc.

  Anyone know what I need to do? I'll be happy with anything as long as I can have both my hard drives (60 + 60 GB) and OS work. :)

  Please help, I would urge for her, because the computer is the one I use for my school work. Feel free to ask questions about the tricks of the system. If you have an answer, please let it be simple, because I really don't want to mess up again ^_^

  Please check the details relating to the installation of RAID user's Guide.
  Usually if you use the clean Windows XP disk then you need to include the RAID drivers first.
  Without pre-installed RAID drivers HARD drive will not be recognized and you will not be able to install the OS!

• Qosmio G30-163 - update from XP to Win 7

  Is this possible please? I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Advisor and he ran and he scored loads of applications. who does not work under Win 7.

  It seems that this model is too old. I also checked the websites of Toshiba models supported for Win 7 and the G30 is not listed. Thank you.

  Hello

  If you want to switch to Win7 I recommend doing a clean install of Win 7.
  The Qosmio G30 drivers are listed on the page of European driver of Toshiba under the area of the Archive (in the product type click on archive).

  But not all drivers Win 7 therein, but is not a big problem since Win 7 should install most drivers automatically

  Toshiba tools missing as VAP (value added package), utility Support Flash memory card or even other Toshiba tools can be downloaded from the other series Qosmio G40 G50, but you must pay attention to a specific driver as the driver or Wlan poster
  In this case, he must use the drivers that are made for chips built in Notepad

• Equium A210 - after update BIOS problems connect to MSN Live Messenger

  Hello

  I just installed the latest update of the Bios for my Equium A210, as has been the first time results attempted this \i watched carefully and everything seems to go correctly but the laptop is restarted, it beeps and showed a checksum error, I chose the option to reboot with 'Default settings'

  Since that I got problems to connect to MSN Live Messenger and I wondered if this might be something to do with the Bios Update, it is also possible to 'come back' to the old Bios somehow?

  Thank you
  Lee

  Hello

  your question isn't really a related problem of the machine. The "Checksum Error" is normal after each update BIOS since the checksum of the BIOS which consists the BIOS settings and the version of the BIOS is not correct due to a modified version of BIOS.
  So, the next time that you update your BIOS you will get a "BIOS checksum error" again. Worry not Don t, it s nothing serious.

  With regard to your Messenger:
  1. uninstall the Messenger
  2. download the latest version from the MSN site
  3. install a new
  4. have fun

  Welcomes ;)

• Re: Qosmio G30 and green screen problem

  Dear friends

  I thing is interesting for any owner of Qosmio to look at this:

  Interesting links! Thank you.
  I have to say then I must be lucky. My Qosmio G30 (German model) works well and without any problems

• Qosmio G30-137 - video card problem - the bug of vertical lines

  Hi members,

  Today my Qosmio G30-137 started to make trouble showing vertical lines that look like this:

  ''''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''
  '''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''

  After having used the product Windows disk recovery could not start early and came up with a blue screen with the error code:

  + failure of page in the nonpaged area STOP 0 x 00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0 X 000000002) +.

  Basically, this indicates that the RAM - memory Cache L2 or preserved is dead. But I also learned that the graphics card can be smoked.

  After the blue screen, you will not get the system to normal operation, no matter what you try.

  I strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your reseller for Exchange. Fortunately I bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if only a left view days).

  Additional information: another Member of this forum has had a similar problem and noted that the entire motherboard must be changed causing costs of USD 700.00 and more!

  I will let you know what I found myself with.

  BRgds
  The Q

  Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious problem of material as other members suggested, the GPU (graphics card) may be defective and therefore replacement is necessary.

  The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and it of not possible to remove the graphics chip of the card. In most cases, the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve graphic problems.

  In my opinion, you should contact your ASP as soon as possible.
  Technicians should be able to help you to explain the situation and to issue and ask for later handling.

  Good luck buddy

• Startup after update BIOS problems

  I recently updated my Alienware Aurora R4 for Windows 10, that satisfies me, but I noticed that my fans have been reallt strong during startup and shutdown, and I had to reset manually in my Alienware Command Center application which caused irritation, so after minimal research, I saw that one of the proposed fixed has been update BIOS I foolishly thought would be a quick easy thing to try, so I updated the BIOS version A7 to A11 day because I was not aware of the flashing, which I realize now, I should certainly have done. In any case, the update seems to work fine, no freezes or crashes and I just restarted my computer and stop was normal. When he started upward again if, instead of start properly, he showed a 10 windows screen that says: "your computer encountered a problem and needs to restart" with an error that says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. When it has rebooted, I went into my BIOS settings and that he made sure that my the first boot device has been "hard drive" (I have two discs SSD, a HARD drive, but they have never caused me problems before and nothing has been fixed when I took out the HARD drive without windows on it). So far, I restarted a bunch of times and tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

  simple tips I gave to a member of the forum the other day (it is possible that the bios update is back your settings to "default"):

  • Check your bios, game sata AHCI controller
  • set the boot device as HDD #1
  • others had the chance in the bios, go to 'legacy boot.
  • remove all external usb devices for now accept keyboard and mouse back.

  Dell/Alienware advice says to disable secure boot...

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f
  Controls of common modules the FN keys.
  If the issue should be resolved install common Modules v 6.06.00, 4.30.15 utilities
  Notes; You need to press FN + 1, 2, 3 etc. DON T press FN + F1 etc.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

• Qosmio F50 - after update BIOS Bluetooth does not work anymore

  I need to update BIOS and F50 v 2.20.

  After update Bluetooth stopped working. Bluetooth in the taskbar icon turned red and I couldn't use any bluetooth device. I got my comp. 3 times to factory State, nothing has changed. After that I uninstalled the bluetooth stack, when I re install the installation crashes and now there is no icon in the taskbar and no link in Control Panel.
  I've tried everything.

  Need some professional help. My computer is only 2 months old.
  I am very angry.

  There is a new version of battery available Bluetooth.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/?page=download

  But before install you it I recommend to remove the old battery installation BT.
  After removing the battery of BT, reboot the laptop and follow the BT facility.

  Installation should finish correctly and then you can activate using the FN + F8 keys.

  Should work.

• Qosmio G30-161: update the Bios needed BACK

  OK, I have a lot of knowledge about computer and please I need the Bios update but not windows based.
  I need BIOS update traditional back!

  The reason I want this is because blue screening in windows that I changed the HARD drive always even.
  I changed the memory and checked the fans always the same.
  I even tried to install XP using xp manual not restore disk using the sata drivers downloaded always the same.
  So now I know 100% if I managed to get the back of the bios download that this problem will be solved.

  Please, someone knows where.

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't provide updates of the traditional BIOS. Only the win versions are available on the page.

  By the way; Why are you 100% sure that the BIOS update would solve this problem?
  BSOD problems are mainly related to the hardware malfunction or software problems.
  Usually, you should recovery the Qosmio with the restore CD provided. If the BSOD will appear during installation or immediately after installation, then the hardware problems are possible
