  Qosmio G20: I want to change the operating system, but I can't do it.

  Please help me and I will be grateful

  Hello

  Of course, you can change the operating system and install another I wonder what OS you prefer?  :|

  I think that you can not install the new OS because the HARD drive is not visible. Am I wrong?
  Fact is that the G20 series supports RAID functionality. You must install the RAID driver before you continue the OS installation procedure

  The RAID driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page and should be included in the operating system using an external USB FDD drive.

• Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

  I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

  After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

  I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

  However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

  If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

  Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

  Thanks for listening...

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

  But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

  If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

  Hey, Ilyas

  Unfortunately, it doesn't have much to do. The language of the OS cannot be converted!
  If you want to use the Windows in English, you will need to buy the original CD of Microsoft Windows with an English version of Win MCE.

  Then, you need to install this operating system and drivers needed for the Toshiba driver page.
  Pilots can be chosen in different languages.

  As I know the Windows experience index scale varies from 1.0 to 5.9.
  A higher base score means that your computer run better as a computer with a lower score.

• Qosmio F30-147 - no sound after Vista upgrade

  I recently upgraded my Qosmio F30-147 of Windows XP MCE to Vista Business. I downloaded and installed almost all drivers available on the download page of Toshiba (including the update of the BIOS). Everything works fine but the sound. The SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC is the only "peripheral" listed in Device Manager. I have installed and uninstalled the SigmaTel driver available (version: 6.10.5462.0) several times without success. You have any ideas?

  Very strange! You have installed all the stuff with command described in the document instructions facilities facilities?

• Is Qosmio F30-112 - compatible with Windows 7?

  Hello!

  I've heard of Windows 7 and I saw on the site that its better than Vista. My laptop Qosmio F30-112 is therefore my cell phone compatible for Windows 7?

  If ever I decided to change my Windows XP to Windows 7 all of their software is required to install everything first?

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can install Windows 7 on your laptop. I put t don't see why it shouldn't have been possible.

  But the point is that if you get all the drivers for this laptop on the Toshiba site. The point is that for the moment no one can say what notebooks will support Windows 7 and what laptops not. I think it will take a few more weeks until Windows 7 will be released official. After that, the socket driver will start.

  But most of the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7. So if you want to install it, take a look for Vista and Windows 7 beta drivers drivers from the Toshiba page we.

  Anyway, after that much research Ive found that some online stores change UJ - 875 S BXM2 and make MASTER of the update of the firmware, so ive ordered an and I replaced my old drive.
  Also (UJ-875 BMX MASTER) will work, but you can't find easily because most of the new laptops work on (CABLE SELECT)

• On Qosmio F30 TV tuner works but the picture is bad

  I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F30-140. It's great in everything except for a TV tuner. It works but the picture is too bad, although the sound is good.

  I've moved several times but without changing the antenna.

  I appreciate your help.

  Can I ask you what TV channels do you have received? Analog or digital?
  If you want to receive the digital channels, then you should be 100% sure that digital signals are strong enough.
  I read in trade journals that for most a weak signal has a bad influence on the quality of the image.

• Qosmio F30 boot not just straight up

  Since yesterday end my Qosmio F30 just blue has decided to close then started a boot loop.
  Now it just won't start upward.

  I managed to get data off in safe mode with network yesterday. But now, I can't even start or in the bios to assign another disk to boot from.
  The screen comes up with the Qosimo logo then everything goes black.
  I find myself with the lights on three power on but no action HD at all.

  Clues?

  Hmmm... man very bad story

  If you are not able to access the BIOS or if you are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive, then I guess the material serious error causing this problem!

  A hint; You n t need to access the BIOS to change the boot order to boot from another device. If you want to boot from the CD/DVD drive, then just press the C button immediately after booting the laptop. This should allow the STRANGE start but it will work only if the motherboard is ok

  Believe me, we can only speculate on the hardware problem
  To me, it sounds like a failure of MB, but who knows?  :|

  Therefore, it would be advisable to contact the ASP in your country for assistance technicians should check the laptop without a doubt.
