• Qosmio G30 - a new CD/DVD drive is not working properly

  Hiya all

  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!

• Qosmio G30 crashes when loading dvd blank media

  I have a fairly new Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop. I recently discovered that the DVD-R or CD - R blank media insertion causes the system crash BSOD blue screen of death. At the moment I have not tried with other types of media. However, DVDs and pre-recorded CDs play perfectly well. After the BSOD re-boot system and sends an error report to Microsoft.

  Hello

  According to the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis, the BSOD was caused by the unknown device driver.
  But it's very strange because the device uses a common MS Windows driver for a CD/DVD drive.

  A question: have you used the OS from the Toshiba restore CD or you made some changes to the operating system?

  However, to my knowledge, not all media are compatible and taken in charge. So eventually the error message because of the use of any compatible CD or DVD.
  You will find the information on compatible media user manual.

  Please also check this:

  -Right-click on the DVD drive-> properties

  -Enable recording for the DVD player

  Maybe it's now possible to enter a blank CD or DVD

  HI -.

  I have the specifications of the models below, and when I try to use a HD-DVD it does not work. I followed another thread re HD DVD but it seemed to apply only to Windows Vista, but as you can see below I just Windows XP but apparently the HD ready display.

  Any ideas? Thank you, Robin

  Sorry but I don't understand your problem. You wrote just HD-DVD, it does not work. What exactly do you mean? The optical disk drive does not work or you can't watch HD-DVD movies?

• 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.

  Good bye

  Hello

  Did you ever ask yourself why Toshiba install two players on this laptop HD-DVD? Probably not.
  With short words: HD-DVD player is designed for playback of HD-DVD only movies. To watch regular DVD movies with a DVD player. For this application use WinDVD player.

  Goodbye and enjoy your great laptop Qosmio.

  The Toshiba player works well until the menu when it crashes.

• Qosmio G30-175: DVD player - RAM, it's a CD player

  Hello people, I once again.

  My 2 week old Qosmio G30 - 175 has a DVD-RAM drive that now appears in my computer as a CD player. As a result (I think) it will not automatically DVD playback. I can play manually through the media library or WMP, but no option does appear in the properties of the drive for auto, DVD playback.

  Can someone tell me why this happened? It is used to appear as a DVD - RAM drive. The only thing I did was to install Nero Premium. Who would have something to do with it?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Some people here in the forum have had problems with burning and DVD recognition because the different burning applications were installed on the operating system.
  Try to remove the other burning software and use only Nero.

• 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.

• Qosmio G30-201: can I play HD movies with different region code

  Hi I have a laptop Qosmio G30-201 with the HD inside player. This area of the playback of movies HD 1 or is it stuck on region 2.
  Is not blocked is it possible to unlock it to play movies from all regions.
  This unit was purchased in the United Kingdom.

  Thanks Steve

  Hello

  As much as I know HD-DVD movies do not support region codes.
  Support is free region code and that's why I think you should be able to watch a HD-DVD movie, BUT you need a DVD player special as WinDVD8 example

  Hello

  If all goes well there s nothing serious, but according to your message, we should not exclude the HD DVD drive fault.
  Have you tried to update the firmware on the disks?
  Usually these packages, you should find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  But look, man. If the firmware update is not possible or doesn't help then the chances are that the HD DVD player is really defective and must be replaced.

  To do this you must contact the ASP in your country. Probably, the guarantee is valid and this procedure can be done for free.

  Best regards

• Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

  I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

  He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

  I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

  Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
  Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

  David Hutchinson

  Hello
  This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
  In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
  The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
  motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
  The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

  Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

• Qosmio G30-117: HD DVD support?

  I bought the qosmio G30-117. It plays HD DVD discs? If this isn't the case, I can play HD DVDs doing the firmware update?

  Post edited by: dr.amon

  Hi Amon

  As far I know a few models of G30 will be able to play HD only on some models. I found the info that some units with HDMI port and HD DVD player will have this opportunity.

  Sorry, but I have not found more information.

• Qosmio G30: Cannot burn DVD after installing Vista

  Hello

  I'll upgrade to Vista, but the problem is that there is no PILOT of RAM DVD!
  What I ask is the following: -.

  1 at - it Web site that display all the drivers {for Toshiba}

  2-if I was not installed this program, I could record DVDs?

  3. If there is a driver for it, I am glade he get you {vista}

  Yes I forgot to mention 1 thing, my machine is QOSMIO G30!

  Best regards

  knk2006

  1. Yes, you can view all the drivers for your laptop model and the operating system on this page:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  2. I think there, like WinXP, already supported this, a base built into a program for recording discs, but I do not like he doesn't have many options. I suggest you try other programs like nero 3rd party

  3. normally, this DVD Ram driver should be included in Vista. Maybe you could try to use another program, as I mentioned above.
