Qosmio G50 - second clone partition for Windows 7 upgrade

I have a Qosmio G50 with Vista Ultimate installed & I have 2 disks to upgrade to Windows 7.

Is there a way to use this 2nd partition cloned as the basis for the upgrade to Windows 7 & clone (with Vista) C: on another partition? In this way there would still be Vista to use for programs / drivers that are incompatible with Windows 7 & there will be a dual boot with Windows 7 option.

Someone has it worked?

Any help appreciated

Hmm I don't think that this works since you would need a license for the two OS simultaneously. Win7 upgrade license replaces the Vista license

    Hi mate

    Guess what? I have an older A210 home
    I installed Win 7 on it and everything works fine!
    As you can see it the A210 is not listed as a supported series Win7, but it should be a serious reason does not install a Win7 on it?

    I didn t find official drivers on the driver Toshiba page but I could perceive my own hand, I used tools of free hardware diagnosis, which helped determine the installed devices
    I took the time to learn all the drivers, but it wasn't a big problem

    Thus, even your laptop is not listed in the page, you will be able to use Windows 7 and will be able to collect the necessary drivers

  • 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:

  • Qosmio G50 - 12R XP drivers for the multimedia keys

    Hello

    My company bought some Qosmio G50 - 12R notebooks to install professional software. I said, I want mobile computers with Windows XP, but these PCs are on Vista. I tried to install the software on Vista and Windows 7 RC but without success. We decided to install Windows XP pro and now all the software are OK, but we get to find all the XP drivers.

    Drivers for multimedia keys (light, Center of dolby,...) and especially the Fn keys (Wifi enabled, brightness, its zoom,...).

    Are someone finds a way to use these features in windows XP?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Qosmio F50/G50 series are released with Vista and Win XP is not supported on these books.
    Win XP was good but now Windows 7 is the King and I doubt he comes out drivers for older operating system

    So I think that you will have to use this device without having the possibility of using the Fn keys or multimedia keys

  • Qosmio G50 - 12K - BIOS update for support of 8 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    Just, I improved my Qosmio G50 - 12 k to 8 GB of RAM and installed Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Windows see 8 GB of RAM but can only use 4 GB. I have the BIOS version 2.0.0 I wanted to upgrade to version 2.10 'P0060v210.exe '.
    When I run the BIOS update, I get this massage [error] BIOS update is not supported for operating system. Unsepported OS or service pack installed.

    I'm really naïve about what to do. Qosmio G50 - 12 k BIOS can be updated to support 8 GB of RAM?

    Help, please!

    Thank you d ' assign eliot

    Hi eliotah,

    In my opinion BIOS update worth the try!

    But I put t understand why you can t do this update. Have you installed Toshiba Value added Package? In my opinion it of needed to start the BIOS updated.

  • Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

    I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And all information entered above, it provides:

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

    After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

    "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

    Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

    Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

    Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

    Hello

    I agree with bljuzga_1.
    Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
    The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

    It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
    This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

  • Qosmio G50 - where can I find Windows 7 drivers?

    But I can't find the download for Windows 7 area. There is a place where? For other series, I found an article but does not match my model. You know where it can be?

    Thank you

    You won't find Win7 drivers for all models again. But you can use most of Vista drivers in Win7.

    However the Toshiba site has some beta drivers, you can try.

    Hi Valkyrie,

    I m a bit confused about your ad, but it turns out that the Qosmio G50 supports Windows 7 because all the drivers and tools can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba:

  • Qosmio X 300 - 15U - key product for Windows 7 upgrade disc

    Hi all
    first post here :)

    I have a Qosmio X 300 15U and just bought DVD update for the operating system: to Vista64 for Windows 7 (home premium).
    I got it by Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade site.

    I installed the upgrade and it works fine, so far.
    Only possible problem for the future, is that I can't find product key label Windows 7 attached to the case of paper (probably lost) DVD
    I have the DVD (for other series, almost...)

    Anyone know if it is possible to make the Toshiba support, send my old Windows 7 key product or a new (only in the case of reinstall...)
    It also appears that Microsoft has validated my install via their tool (WGA, I think)
    I have to go back to using MS (paid), for such a (simple, for me) case?
    Hope not.

    Thank you very much.

    Bye,.

    Diego

    I don't know if Toshiba can send you a new label productkey, you must call the assistance service. But to find your product, you need a key research tool.
    Try [link: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/tp/topkeyfinder.htm] for a list of these programs.

  • ProBook 650: Drive Partitions and Windows 10 upgrade

    Hello

    I'm here to find some information on Windows 10 because I want to upgrade my system, now it's Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). I downloaded the Windows ISO 10N Pro yet and before doing the upgrade, I'll create a complete backup of my drive using Macrium Reflect.

    I have now four partitions:

    1. Active NTFS, 500 MB system
    2. (: C) primary NTFS
    3. (: D) HP Recovery - NTFS primary
    4. (:) E HP Tools - primary NTFS

    In which partition Windows 10 installs?

    I have to choose, or it's an automatic installation?

    I should delete some of the partitions?

    W10 upgrade will remove one or more partitions?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    PS: how to check if the driver are compatible with W10?

    I upgraded to win10 of many PC Win7 - and everyone had some issues that needed to be overcome.

    Your plan to make an image with MR backup is the best approach, because, although Microsoft says that there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always go back to your original OS and setup within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails She can let the machines in a corrupt State - which is not always the case, it happens often enough to be a problem, but you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    With regard to your questions:

    (1) installation partition: you already have 4 partitions at a higher level, so unless your drive is formatted in GPT (which is probably isn't), you WON'T get a meaningful choice about where to install Win10, because only the C: partition will be enough space.

    (2) deletion of partitions: while you can migrate HP tools stuff it into the C: partition and then delete HP_TOOLS, which really won't help much because this space is much too small to be useful.

    (3) with the recovery partition.  Don't count on that it works. The Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt the partition of recovery that are stored by the OEM that built the original machine.  It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work. Thus, based on the recovery of Win7 partition back to Win7 is a mistake.

    Your backup of Mr. is safest and most reliable way to have a backup plan to return to Win7.  You do not mount the image to a restoration, instead, you start from media that you have created using MR, connect the external hard drive and then use the restore option to select the backup that you did.  So, be sure to exercise the option MR to create bootable media, you will need later to do a restore.

    Good luck
