Qosmio G50 - install dual boot?

I think buy A Qosmio G50 115 or 10 H and have the dual boot Vista/XP Pro installed.

My first question: is it possible on this laptop?

If understand dualboot means efficiently reinstall Vista and then installing XP Pro, which would be to remove all software delivered on the machine. Qosmio G10 manual (p77, 3-12) says that there is a Toshiba tools and Utilities CD ROM, from where you can restore the drivers and applications. However, the specifications for this Qosmio on Toshiba Europe site does not include such a CD ROM

Also (p76, 3-11) the manual says "use the recovery CD QosmioPlayer first then the recovery media product then for the restoration of the entire system. Otherwise the system will not work. »

This means - it is impossible to reinstall Vista without using the recovery CD?

Vista can be reinstalled on the computer, regardless of any software provided or what - "otherwise the system will not work.

If I use the recovery CD after reinstallation of Vista in a dual boot, is - that don't joke place the dual boot?

    Hello

    The msata isn't RAID at all in the traditional sense of the term.  The connotation of RAID is when the SATA controller is set to RAID to enable a feature for the msata.  There are a lot of misconceptions about the functioning of msata. It's more of a headache, then it is good IMO.

  • No sound in Windows 7 after installing dual boot Ubuntu (Sound Blaster Audigy)

    I recently put my Windows 7 system to dual-boot with Ubuntu 9.10.

    Now, Ubuntu will play audio through my Sound Blaster Audigy, but Windows 7 will not. I reinstalled all the drivers and installed correctly. I went through the troubleshooting Control Panel section; She didn't find any problem, but there is still no sound. When I play music, volume control shows that the audio is playing.

    I can only assume that there is a problem with the installation of Ubuntu, that seems odd, since BONES are on separate partitions on my hard drive. Like I said, Ubuntu played outside the Audigy with no problems.

    Meanwhile I use my onboard sound for Win7, but I'd love to get my audigy...

    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

    Nope checked all the possible power for audio setting in windows 7.  The only solution I found was disabling Audigy, plug in my onboard sound, allowing it and restart the computer.  On restart I could activate audigy, plug on it and activate the audigy player.  It was my only solution, but this is not going to work whenever I want to use ubuntu. No solution practice.

  • Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista possible installed dual boot?

    Hello

    I don't know if I'm here the XP OS but I post because it is OS related.

    My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) works well with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.

    Basically, I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on a system. * Goal *, computers laptops satellite Pro A200 are delivered with a BIOS for XP and Vista, and with the information you need to install the right pair. For me, this means that you will install the BIOS for XP when running BIOS for Vista and XP in Vista.

    Question:
    Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and have installed XP BIOS?
    Boot loader would be Acronis OSS like this charger already managing my two XP partitions.

    Thank you very much for any information!

    Best regards
    Andreas

    Hello

    In my opinion there is no serious reason, why you should t be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.

    Okay, there's a different BIOS for Vista 64-bit, 32-bit and Win XP, but your Vista should also work using the BIOS for Win XP.

    I have other laptops Satellite series and I m able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean I have a choice to start Vista or XP ;) and I m still using the old version of the BIOS.
    OK some functions are not available as FN keys, but this is not very important for me.

    Well, to cut this story, I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

  • Dual boot between the preinstalled Vista and Linux

    I think installing dual-boot between Linux systems, for this I need to repartition the hard drive and reinstall vista and vista pre-installed that I na? t have the disc so that I only have recovery.

    Assuming that the operating system is on the machine in a hidden partition is it possible to make as if I change the custom of available to partition I lose the data recovery. Also, if it's possible here is a recommended distribution to use.

    As far as I know the recovery system resides in a hidden partition.
    On my machine, it is/dev/sda1

    After this partition (the remaining rest) there is a large partition with Vista on it.
    On my machine, it is/dev/sda2

    You can resize (i.e. minimize) / dev/sda2 partition of your distribution tool.
    Then, create a scope/dev/sda3 partition

    In/dev/sda3, you can create partitions for your Linux system

    On my machine, there is no need to reinstall Vista; Dual boot works fine.
    After the Vista partition with partition tool of opensuse 10.2 resizing Vista has conducted an audit of file system

    Do not always rely on the Upgrade Advisor.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  • Problem installing XP on Qosmio G50 with vista preinstalled

    Hello everyone, just joined, and after a few navigation that I think will like this place.

    I just purchased a Qosmio G50 10 with preinstalled Vista and I want to install XP on the second hard drive to have the double-boot. It starts good but after it finishes loading the drivers etc, it says "starting windows" and then I get a blue screen.

    The installation CD is good. This laptop is new on the market and there is not much info on it.

    Even Toshiba doesn't have drivers to download.

    Read here and elsewhere indicates that a driver problem might be the cause, but I need help.
    Thank you.

    As far as I know if you want to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models, you MUST use Windows XP Home SP2 installations CD edition. Please test and validate the results.

  • Qosmio X 300 - 14U - how to make a system dual boot?

    Hello to all Toshiba X 300 users!

    I recently bought X 300 14U and I try to load XP as a dual boot. I used floppy, I did everything in my power to dual boot.

    Please could someone help? I checked the forum to see how to do, but it keeps on saying the same thing I've done.

    I tried to ask Toshiba what chipset it uses, but they are just guessing.
    Could some please point in the right direction which eat store I need?
    What processor and SATA drivers I need a way to apply these to make a successful dual boot with XP Pro SP2?
    I have Vista Home premium installed.

    I did as much as I do.
    I even tried to run virtual pc but Vista home Premium does not support.

    Than k you much

    Hello!

    Before installing Windows XP, you need the SATA drivers, because I think your cell phone works in AHCI mode.
    The drivers for it are in the Intel Storage Manager package and you can find it on the Intel Web site: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

    On the site of Toshiba, you can t find the drivers for Windows XP. For the Qosmio X 300 are only available Windows Vista drivers and so needs to seek other pilot sites.
    For example:

  • Qosmio G50 - 12 q - partition where Vista is installed

    Qosmio G50-12 q - Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

    On which the drive HARD internal PC (C - F - D) is installed by the producer in case you newly wanted to install the system, but without the Vista DVD?

    Hello

    The Qosmio G50-12 q seems to be equipped with 2 hard drives.
    I guess the first HARD disk is partitioned into two partitions and the second HDD is not partitioned.

    So, Vista seems to be installed at the first disk, partition C.

    I think you want to retrieve the laptop using the HDD recovery procedure. Right?
    I found a nice documentation here:

  • Can Qosmio G50 - I install Mac OS?

    I am interested to install Mac os snow leopard in the Qosmio G50.

    Is possible to install an operating system from Apple in the Toshiba laptop?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I'm pretty sure that's not possible to install Mac OS on the Qosmio G50. I mean the Qosmio G50 doesn t support this OS, at the moment it supports Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit.

    Also, I guess you will get all the drivers for it and the material is different for computers that support this operating system.

    Just be happy with your preinstalled operating system and have fun with your laptop :)
    Qosmio G50 is really nice laptop, I have the Qosmio F50 (smaller with screen 15.4 inches). It of really great design and I run Vista 32 bit.

  • How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

    Hello

    I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

    I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
    I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
    At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

    Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
    but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

    Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

    Thank you
    Gerard

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

    Good bye

  • How to install "FM100 YUAN" on the Qosmio G50

    I recently bought a new Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop.

    When you first start up Windows keeps giving me a message saying "Windows needs to install driver software for your YUAN FM100".
    Google suggests YUAN is the company that makes the TV Tuner software - I sent to their support center a couple of weeks, but did not respond.

    I can't find the driver anywhere - I spent ages Googling that.

    I'm under 64-bit Windows Vista, if it's relevant?
    In "Device Manager" under "other devices" Qosmio G50 appears twice, both with the yellow exclamation warning.

    Can I disable these two?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give - just answer using words that would include a child of 3 years!

    Thank you
