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

  I did everything that is needed for the installation of windows xp for Qosmio G30-145.

  Installation process is as a result: as in http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB56012H0001R01.htm and that worked, but during the installation of windows has started, you will be asked once more (first time I did format and second time that I did ' t format HARD drive): "INSERT THE DISK LABELLED"TOSHIBA RAID DRIVER"in the A: drive... "Press on enter when ready '- but no reaction... SOLUTION!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  According to the Toshiba page suggested when installing Windows using to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process. This causes the shot the next time that the machine start-up.
  To avoid this, perform a partitioning and formatting before you run the manual installation of Windows.
  This behavior is not displayed during the installation of Windows XP with SP2 integrated

  Well, perhaps, you need a CD OS Win SP2 integrated?

  But why you do not use the recovery CD Toshiba delivered?
  On this CD, all drivers are preinstalled and you only need to install the OS from the recovery CD. All should work properly.

  PS: Just for the record: in the BIOS, you should find an option to disable (or change) the RAID.

• 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?

• 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.

  Good bye

  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 - Question on HD DVD player

  Is the DVD-ROM on Qosmio G30 (PQ31) write HARD disk drive HDD DVD or is it only possible to read?
  I want to test drive HARD DVD - ROM, but I can't find (high definition) movies on the web, but I'm sure that somewhere I can find videos in high definition, does anyone know a website where I can download videos in high definition? Thank you

  Hello

  I found the following specifications:
  CD-ROM (Read)
  CD-R(Read/Write),
  CD-RW(Read/Write),
  DVD-ROM (Read)
  DVD-R(Double Layer) (read/write),
  DVD-RW(Read/Write),
  DVD + R(Read/Write),
  DVD + R (Double Layer)(read/write)
  DVD + RW(Read/Write),
  DVD-RAM(Read/Write)
  HDDVD-ROM (Read)
  HD DVD-ROM(Double Layer) (read)
  HD/DVD-ROM (DVD) (Read)
  HD/DVD-ROM (HD) (Read)
  HDDVD-R (Read)

  This means that the HD DVD can be read only. In my opinion the next generation of HD DVD players will be able to write HD DVD blank media. Videos high definition, you can find on the Microsoft page somewhere (forget the link). It is interesting that on a few films real pages you will find trailer download HD Google a bit.

• Portege M400: Installtion Windows - cannot install the RAID driver

  Hello world
  I installed my original form of the system DVD Toshiba (60 GB partition).
  So, I bought the second system with my notebook (Windows XP Pro OEM PL) and I want to install it on my second partition. When installing WinXP installer asked me about RAID driver on drive A: (I USB floppy drive, so it's no problem)... next step - partitioning - no problem. But when Windows starts to copy files (after select and format partition), ask again on RAID driver disk A: - and that is the problem, because my floppy drive is not present (maybe disable it windows after formatting the partition, I don't know)...
  There is also no results:
  -J' tried to install Windows on USB HDD, but there are blue screen after the first reboot,.
  -J' have tried to compile the RAID driver in driver.cab, this does not (or I did wrong).
  Someone has an idea how to install my second system? It is OEM, and I don't want to lose him.
  .. Sorry for my poor English :)...

  Hello

  After installing the driver RAID you should not make any partition or format the HARD drive.
  If you do this, the RAID driver is deleted and you will get an error.

  So do all the changes on the HARD disk before you install the RAID driver.

• Qosmio G20: Question on the status of RAID

  Small question. I want to determine if the RAID is completely disabled on my G20 (2 x 100 GB hard drives).

  When I reinstalled the operating system from the recovery disks in the RAID set up, I chose the option of two independent hard drives so they now drive C & D with Mac on C and D data on.

  If I go to the RAID console, it says "Can not get status", so I guess that the RAID is completely disabled but I wanted to just make sure.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you are right. You need at least 2 disks for a raid configuration to choose two independent disks made (off since raid), and your raid is not enabled. Good day.

• Qosmio - how to access the HARD drive?

  Hello
  the Qosmio G30 is completely 'dead' and I removed the two HARD drives.
  Anyone know how I could access the HARD disk without having to start the RAID... How could restore data by using the HARD drive as a USB device?

  Thank you
  Mike

  Hello

  You want to remove the internal HARD drive and want to connect it as external device using an external HARD drive enclosure?

  In this case you will need an external SATA USB controller because the Qosmio G30 supports SATA drives.

• Qosmio G30 - problem after the system recovery procedure

  I Qosmio G30 - 148 who have Windows XP MCE, trying to download some system programs crashed and make automatic restart.

  I then used a RECOVERY CD to recover my system all and followed the instructions on the CD but when finished and restart the system, a famous blue screen telling me there is a problem in my system and windows must be restarted.

  When restarting in safe mode, it is a message telling me that the system is not fully installed. Please, rerun the Setup program.

  You could any body help me in this problem because it's a strange problem?

  Note: I tried to install Windows XP from external CD but the system did not have the hard drive.

  You are right. It's a really strange problem. I don't know if you use some external devices but before you start recovery procedure please remove all connected devices.
  The fact is that this recovery image is designed for this model of laptop and the specific hardware configuration. If the BSOD occurs after the installation of the image it takes little hardware related issue.

  I don't really have any other explanation. Problem is that no one here will be able to offer an accurate diagnosis, and we can only speculate what may be the problem.

  Try to do it again to the recovery facility, but if the problem persists I fear that you need professional help.

• 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

  How to remedy?

  Hello xingmao

  It seems that some application fails to close properly. It is difficult to say that who and why.
  Try to uninstall the software that you have installed right before this problem started for the first time. With a bit of luck, you might find the cause. Otherwise, you can do a final solution a recovery facility.

  Windows associated problems are really difficult to locate.

• Qosmio G30-175: why the properties system tell Media Center 2002 and not 2005?

  Hello

  I have a qosmio g30-175, it says on the sticker of the authentication windows on my laptop computer Media center 2005, the problem is that when I check the system properties in Control Panel, it says units media center 2002 SP2. I find it confusing, Toshiba gave me the wrong version, or is it quite normal.

  I installed windows by using the recovery disk of the product came with my computer.

  Thank you.

  Don't worry man. Everything is ok! You have a MCE 2005 version

  You have simply checked versions MCE in the wrong way!
  If you want to check the MCE versions open media center, click on "settings", then click "about media center". The version of MCE will appear.

  What you're watching now is the version of XP/OS. The XP is the Foundation for MCE. ;)
