Qosmio G35-AV650: how remove Vista Boot Manager and install XP

OK, I got the g35-av650 - US. I don't see any good American forum Toshiba, so I post here.
First of all, I must say I'm getting very frustrated.

1: I upgraded my BIOS to try to install windows vista. Vista installed, however, it works well. It must be driver problems. I deleted the partition that I allocated for Vista. Now, how the hell do I remove the screen/start menu in vista.
I want to get back my XP operating system selection screen.
I think it has to do with the boot record.

2: my bluetooth isn't all work more (don't ask me why...) After that I updated the BIOS to version 1.40 to the newest 3.30.

The recovery CD said I use the CD in the computer wrong? Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS/solve this problem, or bypass it.

Thanks for the responses, because they will be very appreciated.

Hello

(1.) you want to reinstall XP on the HARD drive or you want to cancel only the vista Boot Manager.
Usually after reinstalling XP, the boot manager should disappear.

But I found these tips step by step in the internet:

-Start your computer in Windows XP.
-Make sure you have the image of Vista DVD emulated or in the DVD drive.
-Go to start and run. Type in e:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt52 ALL/force (without the quotation marks and replace e: with the letter of your Vista DVD).
-Restart the computer, and you notice that the selection of start menu disappeared.
-Format the partition/drive where you installed Vista.
-Remove the two (Boot.BAK and Bootsect.BAK) files on your file of root of drives XP (c), it was backup of your previous boot loader files, now is more useful.
-Optional: Restart to make sure it still works.
-Use your partition software to merge your partitions.

2.), I hope that you have used the BIOS from the page we Toshiba. However, the BIOS update should not has a bad influence on the functionality of BT. Try to download the latest driver for BT and install again.

  • A few Questions on the Qosmio G35-AV650 series

    I have some questions that I would ask to my Qosmio G35-AV650.

    1: I've updated the BIOS to v1.4 (2005), to v3.3 (2007), to install Vista.
    Vista does not work so I removed it - I guess that I need to update the drivers again.
    In any case, I got my PC to normal - delete the partition allocated to Vista and reset the boot record.
    However, there was something that happened to my pc. The model has been replaced by "Laptop".

    My DVD DO NOT work for recovery. It says 'BAD COMPUTER'. IM wondering how it could have happened.
    If anyone could shed some light on what might have changed the name of the template, do so.
    The only thing I can think is the update of the BIOS. Any ideas?

    2: my HARD drive crashed at 1 point of time before. In order to
    avoid any loss of data, I have intertwined around hard drives and reinstalled XP on the secondary HARD drive.
    However, this is somewhat troblesome. First of all, the Qosmio player no longer, because it is
    the disk of HARD original 1. Secondly, if I did a reinstall on 1 HARD drive, it would remove the Qosmio Player?

    Third, if I put the hard drives back to the initial placement and boot from HDD 2, HDD 1 IS NOT recognized by the PC.

    It seems I have TO boot from HDD 1 for 2 HDD is picked up by windows.
    Is there a way to test PC to start from 1 HARD disk then boot from the disk HARD 2, eventually recognize two hard disks?
    Or is there a way to manually "load" both hard drives?

    3: what would you recommend to do if Windows won't recognize the Bluetooth device. I know that his work.
    I installed a Virtual Machine and installed the bluetooth in it. It is during the driver installation process
    that the installation crashes with devices NOT picked up by the operating system. Any ideas? I can't use the recovery DVD trying to install
    the original drivers [see #1].

    How can 4: if I'm using the standard Windows Xp CD, I load the Toshiba RAID drivers? The only thing I see
    includes a floppy drive, which does not have the kaptop.

    I know this is a long post :)
    Thank you for your responses and reaing.

    Man, these are some deep questions. Your laptop looks new, under warranty? If so, go back to Toshiba and make them understand the 'thing'. These things are problematic I know... it is a little hidden from any sale side isn't it.

    If you want to put in Vista, just follow all the instructions in the Forum of Francisco - you can tell that's the one with the most comments. If you follow the messages from scratch, you will be able to get your business laptop.

    Francisco is our leader of the sect. He's awesome. He saved us where Toshiba does not have. Welcome to the fraternity.

  • Qosmio G35-AV650 does not start after format

    Okay, so I downgraded/upgraded my computer back to XP from 7 a month ago.
    Yesterday, I went to the library for all my updates and whatnot that I neglected since the upgrade. When I turned on the computer in the library, it would not be loaded the office correctly and an error box open stating that it was impossible to recover the THotkey. It turns out that my feature key drivers took a dive. I've done everything I can to solve the problem. Nothing worked, I decided to reformat.

    Early upward the dinosaur this afternoon when the format is finally finished, it would not fully boot screen where you are asked which language you want to use, what time format, all of these bases. I tried to reboot several times, finally tried safe mode, even to reformat again, nothing works.

    Now, seeing as I was only reformat to XP in order to enter my card default sound drivers to see if they would work on 7 (the company that made my card was bought shortly before 7 was released and that they still need to make new drivers), I decided to say screw that it and any format the computer back to 7. When it loads everything from disk (disk? drive?), it goes to the screen asking what disk I want to install, it says that I have no disks on which I can install it.

    I came across this problem before, the first time that I put 7 on the computer. Since I have two hard drives, it needs the RAID drivers that connect the two. I downloaded several different, all for Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV650 RAID drivers, but it detects all the drivers. The way I do it is to put on a flash drive and tell the computer to get them from there. I do everything the same way I did before, but nothing works at all. I tried to go into the BIOS settings, but I have no idea what I could do.

    I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out what I can do here, but I'm completely lost. Any ideas?

    You use a generic Windows 7 disk? Or a Toshiba Win7 upgrade disk?

    Basically, you need the drivers SATA F6 (INFs) on a USB Flash drive during the installation of Win7. The version of Vista should work fine in Win7.

    You can change the RAID settings in the BIOS to "JBOD". First, make sure you back up important data.

    Hey there,

    After that I got my Qosmio G35-AV650 fixed by Toshiba, since, then using the recovery DVD that comes my machine is evil!
    I figured out that they changed the name in the BIOS for PC Portble, up to now, I have not found the tool (DMI) to get the fixed string...

    Could someone be so kind to let me this software?

    Hello

    It really seems like the laptop technician forgot to update the right information in the DMI!

    I searched on the Toshiba site for useful info because this laptop seems to be designed for the American market only.
    I think I found a useful site;

    Check this box:

  • Need recovery disk or drivers for my Qosmio G35-av650

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Is it possible to use the CPU T7200/T7400/T7600 on Qosmio G35-AV650?

    Hi all

    Is it possible to upgrade the processor on a G35-AV650 to a T7200/T7400/T7600?

    The reason why I ask, is that I pulled the laptop out to give it a good clean and replace the fans, etc..
    Also, it would give me a 64-bit processor

    Hello

    In General, upgrading CPU is tricky because no one can tell if the BIOS would support the new processor. Although the chipset and motherboard would be able to manage the new processor, there could be a problem with the BIOS compatibility.

    As mentioned, if you want to use the new processor, chipset compatibility please.
    If the chipset would be able to manage the new processor, then you have a good chance to get the new processor running.

  • Remove vista boot screen

    Hello

    I'm planning a check disk to run at reboot, but I couldn't see the activity and results of the operation of check disk because of the vista boot screen.  I never noticed this problem before.  However, I wonder if anyone knows how to disable.

    I thought about the gui option not via the msconfig Panel. But if I remember that this simply deletes completely out the screen during the boot process.

    Thank you.

    Answer: Disable "no GUI" in the Panel under the msconfig Startup tab.

    Apparently, in the activation of vista "no GUI" allows the vista aurora boot / splash screen, thus hiding the start menu, check it out operations on disk and memory diagnostics.

    Under xp, which allows 'no GUI' blacked out on the screen and hidden from the above process.  But in Vista, rather than be a screen blacked out, vista boot screen is engaged.

    As my question, in some sort 'no GUI' was enabled without my knowledge.  So I could not see the background process during startup.

  • Missing Boot Manager and no disc

    We have windows vista and recently my husbands computer stopped working. It turns on and starts to load but then says missing Boot Manager. We got our computers through our College and don't have the startup disk or recovery disk. We do not know what to do. I know that this seems to be a common problem with an easy solution... IF you have the rcovery disc. SO my question is how do solve us our problem without the disc? Someone please help us. We need our computer for school. Thanks in advance.

    1. try to make a record of BootableRepair.

    2 borrow a good Vista DVD.

    3. get recovery in any case discs.

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
