Re: Qosmio G30 - RAID of the problems when installing the OS

I got my Qosmio G30-161 for half a year and he had thought should be time to reinstall everything, so I could get rid of things I didn't need (programs, viruses and uninteresting video clips).

So I took my XP MCE Cd and tried to install, and I am guided me through and come to the place where I had to choose between unknown 1st and 2nd 3rd stripping mirrored. I chose the stripping as I wanted my drives to be in one. Then when I pressed "next" it gave me the error message "1005 - HDD is not ready?

I tried to go into the BIOS and change the setting of different parameters of Toshiba told me to, but he also warned that if I changed my OS settings will need to be reinstalled. No problem. But I still get the same message error "disk is not ready?". So now, I have to use a computer other than mine to check the forums and mail etc.

Anyone know what I need to do? I'll be happy with anything as long as I can have both my hard drives (60 + 60 GB) and OS work. :)

Please help, I would urge for her, because the computer is the one I use for my school work. Feel free to ask questions about the tricks of the system. If you have an answer, please let it be simple, because I really don't want to mess up again ^_^

Please check the details relating to the installation of RAID user's Guide.
Usually if you use the clean Windows XP disk then you need to include the RAID drivers first.
Without pre-installed RAID drivers HARD drive will not be recognized and you will not be able to install the OS!

  • QOSMIO G30 - RAID-1 is GRADIENT, the search for a solution

    Hello

    My QOSMIO G30 is confirgured in RAID1. Today the second hard drive failed, unless I hard when I saw "RAID-1 is DEGRADING" displayed on the screen to power on the computer. Once booted Vista Ultimate, I get an error indicating that the Toshiba Raid Service had stopped unexpectedly (this message is also recorded in the system event log). "Unable to get the State raid console display."

    Go to the BIOS Setup, I see that the secondary hard drive is in the State has failed while the first is in the online state. The two hard drive are marked "RAID-1.

    I restarted after removing the second hard drive in the system. Of course, I always get the message from the bios. Vista boots normally and then I get an alarm saying the raid is broken. It's perfectly anticipated if only the second hard disk is now deleted.

    I connected the hard drive to a SATA Transcend USB controller and it work perfectly! Then I reinstalled the hard drive in the computer. After the reboot, the raid service accident again. The first hard disk is functioning stil and I made a backup full, just in case.

    I searched a lot for a procedure restoring the second hard drive operation, but I've not found anything really helpful.

    Go into the BIOS, if I change the disc to nothing else than "RAID-1" mode, I said that I have to reinstall the OS. I don't want to do that. I want to back the second hard drive in operation. I want to have the mirror restored from the first hard drive on the second hard drive, without losing the contents of your hard drive.

    Any help is appreciated.

    This with changing RAID mode and install of the OS is just because when you change the RAID in the BIOS operating system must be installed again. RAID info should be saved into the MBR.
    What RAID driver and RAID utility do you use?
    One last thing: is your laptop preinstalled with recovery Toshiba (32 bit) image?

    > I want to put the second hard drive in operation.
    To be honest, one thing is not understandable to me. Are you trying to get old HDD (a second) working again or you have new HARD drive (as a second) und try to have mirrored hard drives again?
    Have two exact hard drives the same capacity?

  • Qosmio G30 - Question on the Raid driver

    Do I really need this driver to use RAID functions? If its set in BIOS, what makes the pilot actually do? outside you give health statistics?

    See you soon

    Yes, you need the RAID driver.
    I think that the Qosmio G30 has been designed with the RAID feature as some units of the G20.
    Without this RAID driver, you will not be able to install the OS because the OS Setup may not recognize the HARD drive.

    RAID uses two options:
    RAID 0 (Striping): two hard disks are used as a big drive, if a HARD disk fails all data is lost
    RAID-1 (Mirroring): hard drives contain the same data if a disk fails, data is not lost

    I think you could check this announcement and also use the advanced search to forum for more results on RAID.

  • Qosmio G30-137 - video card problem - the bug of vertical lines

    Hi members,

    Today my Qosmio G30-137 started to make trouble showing vertical lines that look like this:

    ''''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''
    '''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''

    After having used the product Windows disk recovery could not start early and came up with a blue screen with the error code:

    + failure of page in the nonpaged area STOP 0 x 00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0 X 000000002) +.

    Basically, this indicates that the RAM - memory Cache L2 or preserved is dead. But I also learned that the graphics card can be smoked.

    After the blue screen, you will not get the system to normal operation, no matter what you try.

    I strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your reseller for Exchange. Fortunately I bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if only a left view days).

    Additional information: another Member of this forum has had a similar problem and noted that the entire motherboard must be changed causing costs of USD 700.00 and more!

    I will let you know what I found myself with.

    BRgds
    The Q

    Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious problem of material as other members suggested, the GPU (graphics card) may be defective and therefore replacement is necessary.

    The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and it of not possible to remove the graphics chip of the card. In most cases, the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve graphic problems.

    In my opinion, you should contact your ASP as soon as possible.
    Technicians should be able to help you to explain the situation and to issue and ask for later handling.

    Good luck buddy

  • Qosmio G30-162 - BIOS update problem

    Hi, I have a problem with the update the BIOS on a Qosmio G30-162, which seems to be running the following version: -.
    Version 1.20
    Version 2.3 of DMI
    Date of the BIOS 21/01/06

    Whenever I run the update V3.90 it is said that it is not valid for this machine.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you very much

    The BIOS update I'm running is V3.2.9 (P0038v390.exe)

    When I run the files of the update says that "this computer is not supported.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Do you have what Windows OS installed?
    If you have installed Win XP then the common Module must be installed before trying to update the BIOS.
    If Vista is installed, the VAP (value added package) must be running.

  • Qosmio G30 - RAID may not reflect new 500 GB HARD drive

    I have installed 2 new identical 500 GB hard in my Qosmio G30 with Windows XP.

    The system works well, but the disc cannot be mirrored. Report of the Raid Controller is 'Normal Operation status.

    This disk cannot be used for mirroring because it is outside the management of the RAID."

    Who can tell me whether it is a disc error or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

    > Can anyone tell me if it of a disc error, or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

    Hmm. I m not very good, but it could be possible that the 500 GB HARD drive is too big for the mirroring of the mode.

    But have you tried to change the mode in comforter Toshiba RAID you might find in Toshiba Assist-> Protect Fix & -> RAID Console

    Check if you can switch to the mirroring.

    By the way; RAID-1 is defined in the BIOS?
    Usually, when you use RAID-1 configuration, the RAID is set to mirroring. In this case, the operating system recognizes the reduced ability to both hard drives (in your case, it is not important since you are using the two 500 GB HDD).

    Check it!

  • Qosmio G30-175: why the properties system tell Media Center 2002 and not 2005?

    Hello

    I have a qosmio g30-175, it says on the sticker of the authentication windows on my laptop computer Media center 2005, the problem is that when I check the system properties in Control Panel, it says units media center 2002 SP2. I find it confusing, Toshiba gave me the wrong version, or is it quite normal.

    I installed windows by using the recovery disk of the product came with my computer.

    Thank you.

    Don't worry man. Everything is ok! You have a MCE 2005 version

    You have simply checked versions MCE in the wrong way!
    If you want to check the MCE versions open media center, click on "settings", then click "about media center". The version of MCE will appear.

    What you're watching now is the version of XP/OS. The XP is the Foundation for MCE. ;)

  • QOSMIO G30 - no sound on HDMI when connected to HDTV in XP MCE.

    Hello-

    Can anyone help with a frustrating problem... How output sound on HDMI in Windows XP MCE?

    I place the video on HDMI output using * Fn + F5 *-I get a perfect image on my HD TV. However, the sound always comes from my laptop speakers.
    I have all the latest drivers and BIOS downloaded from the Toshiba site.
    I entered the settings audio and Sigmatel and tried everything, in particular by unchecking + 'Activate Dolby Digital Live Support' + within the Dolby tab which is recommended in a support forum.
    Nothing works!

    It's relatively easy in Windows Vista, because you can change the audio device by default for + the device of digital output (S/PDIF) + and which switches to HDMI audio, but there is no option under XP MCE.

    Someone who can help to solve this problem is rewarded with all the points and have total gratitude and respect :-)

    Thank you

    Mark

    It is a Toshiba FAQ:
    + No signal on HDMI on Qosmio G30 under Vista +.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ7A01ZU0005R01.htm

    But he of described the problem with Vista OS.

    However, the screenshot shows the codec high definition audio Sigmatel.
    I guess it is the same device that you can see in the menu drop-down

    Maybe you have to activate it.

  • Qosmio G30: Conflict between the audio driver Sigmatel and Vista SP1

    Hello
    I have a laptop Qosmio G30 PQG32E and impossible to move to Vista SP1 because the driver Sigmatel (6.10.5462.0) is in conflict with the service pack.
    As some of you may know, there is no Sigmatel and IDT who bought them is so say nonexistent, saying to contact the OEM directly to drivers updated.

    Is there a plan to upgrade the audio driver?
    There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
    If you use Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe process consumes 800 MB and more after an hour of continuous work.

    I hope for an update driver stable and more stability of the SP1.
    I am a dreamer?

    The problem is that the final version of Vista SP1 is brand new and it may happen that some drivers don't support this new service pack.
    In this case the driver needs to be updated.

    If you will not find the latest version on the Toshiba page then maybe you can find it here:

    http://www.IDT.com/?ID=3969

    In any case, the solution is the update driver and sooner or later, the update will be available.

  • Qosmio screen X 875-black q7380 when installing graphics driver intel hd 4000

    Hello

    I have a qosmio toshiba X 875-q7380 when starting Windows 8 screen was black and never started so I decided to move to W7, the installation has functioned well until I have install the display driver intel, then the screen is black and will not start.

    If I press F8 and failsafe mode works well, I would uninstall the Intel graphics HD4000 card driver and then start normally.

    Is there a solution to this problem?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > .when from Windows 8 screen was black and never started

    The Toshiba Qosmio X 875 - Q7380 has been pre-installed and configured with Win 8 OS.
    The laptop should run correctly using the factory settings which means that the use of Win 8 should not be a problem.

    Intel HD graphics unit is part of the CPU. I m not very well, but I guess that the issue could be due to hardware problem CPU.

    Of course this is only my personal opinion, but I think that in cases where the laptop does not work using the factory settings, malfunction of the equipment is possible.

  • Problems when installing a driver for my scanner

    Hello!

    I have serious problems when you try to install a driver for my scanner - Epson Perfection V700 - on my desk. It was installed earlier, but after a reinstall of XP Pro (SP3), it seems impossible to install it again. Whenever I get an errormessage: "not able to copy the files. Make sure that the target disk is not dead. »

    I tried to install the driver when I had turned off almost all the programs, in "auto-start" - same problem. I run a scan of the disc and also done a defrag - same problem. I have installed many programs on my desktop, so until after I encountered the problem with the driver for the scanner and it was no problem to install the driver on my laptop (also XP Pro).

    I ' v chatted with the support of Epson in England and they have suggested that the problem was in my PC. Because I'm taking care of family archives, I am more eager to get the scanner working again. Any advice/suggestions how to deal with the situation are so much appreciated.

    Hello

    Good to know that your problem is resolved and thanks for letting know us.

    ·        If the scanner works fine then, why do you want to update the driver?

    You may need to consult the manufacturer of the scanner (Epson) to check if they have released an update of the driver for your scanner. To update the drivers on which are present on the system, follow the steps mentioned in the article below.
