Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

Maybe you'll be able to create the USB stick recovery. Check it out.

  • Qosmio G40 - 108 Recovery DVD necessary

    Hello. I have a Qosmio G40-108. Unfortunately, my recovery DVDs was damaged and now I need to restore my machine. I ordered a Toshiba 5 weeks and they cannot always tell me when I go to receive a.

    If there is someone who might well want to get a copy of this I will be grateful. I'll gladly pay for it.

    Hello

    This forum is not a trading market!

    I imagine that for the moment the G40 recovery CD is not available and the authorized service provider ordered the warehouse of head of Toshiba Recovery CD.
    It takes a little longer.

    But if you want you can install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows and all the necessary drivers Toshiba you will find on the European driver Toshiba page!

  • Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback

    I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!

    What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)

    I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
    Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.

    > I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
    According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.

    PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=107067#107067

    However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

  • Qosmio G40-108 does not start

    Hi Gang

    I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
    I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
    After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

    * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

    What exactly happens?
    Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

  • Qosmio G40-108: Question about CPU upgrade

    Dear friends, I am an Italian man who asks if it is possible to change the CPU (T7700) of my Qosmio g40-108 with the new T9300 (like USA G45-AV690)

    All the best
    David

    Hi david

    Please understand that mobile technology is completely different Office of PC technology and motherboards are all just different.
    Upgrading the CPU's especially not possible or very risky for other reasons.

    A main reason could be overheating; as you know the stronger CPU would produce more heat and this could lead to a higher temperature and finally to overheating...

    In addition you BIOS was not configured for other processors so it possible s that your laptop does not start after such update!

    See you soon

  • What are the differences between Qosmio G40-108 V G40 - 12 c?

    I think to treat me to a new laptop.
    I got through the purchase of a Qosmio G40-108, because they seem to be the special offer
    But I discovered that there is a new due notebook, G40 - 12 c available end of February.

    Q. is there an update on the G40-108 due even time or I would be better to just buy a G40-108 now?

    Dave.

    Hello

    It depends on you how much money you want to spend. I mean that the difference between the-108 and-12 c, is-108 has a more powerful CPU (T7700) and a larger hard drive.
    But the basic technique, the machines should be similar.

    You have to choose yourself, but in all cases, you can buy the same maybe more or less powerful machine... :)

  • Qosmio G40-108-dvd/video playback quality

    You just bought the Qosmio G40 - 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. EAD all reports and went for the superb view report. I am very disappointed by the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX, Xvid, h264). The colors are bland bland and not all that sharp.

    Compared to my Toshiba 3 year, mid-range machine running Windows XP Home edition, it is pretty poor. I did not test anything.

    Am I missing something or is it the fault of Vista. I tried to load Windows XP Home edition, but could not because it came with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help? Please, I beg you.

    Hello James

    I'm really surprised that your question is marked as replied. You have the solution to the problem described? Please let us know everything is OK now and I hope that you will be able to watch DVDs.

  • Qosmio G20-108 Windows recovery problem.

    Hello

    I just purchased a Qosmio G20-108 of ebay and the seller said that the laptop is ok but I had a virus previously and it wiped the HARD drive. The DVD player has so replaced it by a new one, but he couldn't just load the recovery of Windows Media Center. I bought the laptop thinking that I can fix it but I could not and now I felt stupid: (.)

    When I turn it on, you receive this error message:

    ERROR ATA #1

    Intel (r) Boot Agen FE v4.1.16
    Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.

    Someone has an idea on how to solve this problem before sending it to the "Topaz" Support and cost me a fortune?

    Thank you.

    If the DVD player is replaced, you are 100% sure it works well then you probably have a problem with faulty HARD drive.

    If possible, try to get one for testing purposes. It can be used. Replace the HARD drive and try to install the top OS. Check if you have full access to the HARD drive.

  • Is Qosmio G40-108 supports RAID?

    Does anyone know if the G40-108 supports the RAID1? According to the manual, the G30-204 made but there is no mention of RAID in G40 manual even if the G30 and G40 have double HARD drive.

    Colin

    Hello

    The G40 is an amazing camera. Very powerful and nice design. I like it!!!

    So I looked on the net to get some info on built-in hard drives and
    It seems that some of the units have been delivered with hard drives of 2 x 200 GB that supports the RAID without a doubt!

  • HP Pavilion dv6000: ask an insert the HP Product Assistant Disk window whenever I start.

    I have started to repair Vista but decided that it was unnecessary and did not follow through with the help of the ERD.  Whenever I start, a window pops up telling me to insert the support HP disc in the CD drive. How can I stop it from appearing?

    Thanks to anyone who responds.

    Hello

    Please follow the instructions.

    Honestly, I'm not 100% now, but we will test - it should be one of the following.

    Please, start new Autoruns (as admin). Be careful and find these entries - after uncheck them:

    + "HP Health Check Scheduler" "HP Health Check Scheduler" "Hewlett-Packard" "c:\program Hewlett-Packard HP health check\hphc_scheduler.exe" «2008-10-09 05:56 ' «»

    One of them is probably related to the problem you see. Unchecking in Autoruns will prevent them from starting. Once you're ready, reboot your computer (restart, not stop and start again).   Please, report your findings, didn't this come back after that?

    Something unrelated to the original problem - I see that you have installed a software IOBit - these come with a very low reputation and the level of protection they offer is very low compared to competitive suppliers. In addition, they were taken to cheat and steal things propretiery by other sellers. Personally, I recommend you to uninstall them and replace them with something better like ESET, Kaspersky, etc...

  • Qosmio G40-108 crashed when reading things via WMP or VLC

    Whenever I play stuff via wmp or vlc the machine crashes.
    Sometimes I get an error message saying nvkklmd (something like that) has failed.
    I have dl the latest display driver, but have the same problem.

    Any suggestions? Googling the error message that tells me it is a compatibility issue with Vista and the card nvidia 8600.
    It makes me wonder why they would put such an element in if this is the case.

    It's very strange because one of my friends has a G40 on the table that he can play the video files using Windows Media Player and other players free downloaded off the net.
    Therefore, I doubt that there is a compatibility problem between Vista and nVidia.

    I think that it of really not easy to say what causes this problem until you will not recover your system. I mean you can try to play the same files on the laptop picked up fresh and if the laptop will not crash while it was certainly a problem of compatibility with you 3rd party software/files.

    If the laptop is going to plant a hardware problem may be possible

    As you see it s not easy to say how to resolve this problem, you must try in different ways and recovery belongs to one of the possible solutions.

  • Qosmio G40-108: problem with the highest starange display resolution

    I just had mine but on its highest resolution all Web pages have these 11 blocks rectangular semi, barely visible, only the bottom, each about an inch long, is this normal and should I send it to the object of an investigation?

    Hello

    It is very nice to hear that you already have the new Qosmio notebook. I can't say much about your problem because without a screenshot, it is not easy to understand what you mean exactly. On my Qosmio G30 (with the same HD resolution) I have no problem at all. Because of this I can't really understand what the problem is here.

    If possible send a link where we can see what it looks like. Your description is not enough.
    BTW: have you noticed that on web pages only?

  • Need some opinions on Qosmio G40-108

    Everything is very nice on this laptop (which I am looking forward to buy out in Dubai), just a few things I want to inquire or discuss are:

    Why disks burp at 4200 RPM?
    Why does a such huge bezel around the screen?
    and
    The weight can be reduced at least abit? No don't worry, I got used to the weight to my G20, moreover, performance overshadows it;).

    Hello

    Nice decision, it s an elegant machine.

    So what about your questions:

    HARD drive: drives are so small and they ability is very large, so they don t need to turn so quickly because they have with this speed, comparable performance as a hard drive of office with more rpm´s. (it s logical, just think about - small disc = lower rpms <->big disk = higher RPM = quite the same thing)

    Bezel: because? :) I Don t know, maybe, they wanted just to design it in a way... ;)

    No, it cannot be reduced because everything in this machine is fixed. If you want a machine with less weight, must be wary of some other machines like "Portege" or something.

    I hope that all the answers were clarified at least 50% ;)

    See you soon
