• System drive Qosmio G20 with an image or a clone backup

  On another thread, I asked problems with Acronis True Image to backup and cloning of my system (C) disk. Whenever I'm trying to clone my system disk or recover an image, I can create and restore the image, but when I install the player recreated and tries to start, I get as much "windows did not start successfully, I would like to start in safe mode... last good config known... or normal. All the options to return to the screen.

  I have two drives 100 GB sata, with the first disc of the op system, programs and the second with my data and therefore has set up the raid as two independent disks and the raid console option disabled.

  After trying another product of cloning with the same result, I guess there is something in the Qosmio implemented that is the cause. I read that Qosmio Player is installed on a hidden partition of Linux on the system drive and am wondering if it may not be picked up by the cloning and imaging software and that may cause boot failure.

  So I have two questions. First of all, nobody knows why I might be problems starting from a clone or recovery using third party disk image backup software and second, anyone successfully upward and restore a G20 Qosmio Player system, and if so with what software and do you perform all the special functions.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Well, I use the Toshiba Recovery CD to restore the operating system on the Qosmio G20.
  It has also 2 x 100 GB, but under my computer, I saw only one a HARD drive. I created 2 partitions with the ghost (second option on the recovery CD).
  However, I have now 2 partitions but after this procedure, the Qosmio player has been removed. I though that I need to install again simply because of the Qosmio player but I tried to install the Qosmio player after the recovery procedure and it has been successfully.

  2 existing partitions and I also have a Qosmio player on my laptop.
  But one thing is very strange; I can't locate the partition in disk management.
  But everything works ok

• Qosmio G20 - 139 problem - won't turn on no-help

  I had my Qosmio G20-139 since early 2006 and have had no problems with it so far.

  About a week ago I started having some blue screen error, I installed the latest driver updates etc and assumed that would cover all the problems. Today, however, my laptop goes off and I can't get it to power upward. The lights on the front, showing the power and battery etc, are lit, and when I press the power button it lights up usual blue, however, nothing else happens. No other light (eg. screen remote wireless, indicator hard disk etc.). The laptop seems to just unable to power on.

  I guess I wonder if there is a fix for this, or if I have to send the laptop.

  My main concern is that few of my files are backed up and I have a lot of photos and data, that I can't really afford to lose.

  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Even if someone would guide me towards a solution to recover files.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  From your description of the laptop turns off automatically.
  Perhaps this was caused due to internal temperature high more often than the laptop goes off to prevent the equipment from damage

  I don't very well if you get the laptop working again if some of the material is too bad Mr. I mean if processor or motherboard are affected while a replacement could help solve this problem.

  In my opinion, the material should be checked by a technician of the ASP.

  With regard to your data on the disk HARD;
  Well, it might be possible to remove the portable computer HARD drive and connect it to another computer using an external HARD disk controller.
  Then you should be able to access the HARD disk and back up data.

• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

• Qosmio G20-106 - exchange of the CMOS battery

  Hi all

  I need to change the battery CMOS of my G20-106. Is this possible without having to disassemble the whole laptop? Where is the battery? Thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  unclescrooge

  Hello

  No, as I know it is not possible to do
  As far as I know the CMOS is welded somewhere on the motherboard and you would need to disassemble the whole laptop. This can be really, really painful procedure.

  But why do you want to remove the battery?
  The CMOS battery is charged and it should be possible to load it again.

• External speakers to the Qosmio G20 106

  Hello

  I know it's a stupid question! but where to plug the external speakers? Is this the same entry as the headphones?
  Thank you very much?
  JO

  Hello

  On the left side of the device, you can find the headphone jack (S/PDIF). This allows you to connect digital speakers or stereo headphones (minimum of 16 ohms). When you connect the headphones or digital speakers, internal speakers are automatically disabled.
  This Jack can also be used as outlet S/PDIF and allows the connection of the optical digital connecting devices.

• Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

  I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

  Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

  I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

  When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

  I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

  I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

  If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

  Hello

  I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
  Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

  Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

  So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

  Good luck

• Qosmio G20 - coolant warning/error

  OK, so I have not yet had problems with cooling and now today when I booted up just got this message;

  "Warning system".

  WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected.

  If please turn off immediately and return it for service. »

  A soft purr escaped from the bottom left of the part of my computer, on the location of the DVD player [there is no disc in the drive]

  I then reset the computer and has not yet received the message, but the soft hum was still there.

  Is it possible to access this easily fan at all? He's probably just a clean place.

  I REALLY don't want to have to send it even as I use the computer a LOT and he doesn't know how long the service may take.

  Hello

  The information provided by jmatthews are really awesome.
  Qosmio G20 is one of the high-tech notebooks, and it supports various sensors that provide several messages if the laptop hardware and the operating system does not work properly.
  Everything looks like cooling module malfunction

  As was suggested by the fan could not turn the full implementation and is not able to cool the processor properly.

  I recommend you contact the service point in your country for laptop and cooling module control.

• Qosmio G20: could not save due to a problem of unknown calendar

  Try to record off the TV and have done several times in the past. But today, he had the error message came up saying I couldn't record because of a problem of unknown timing, and yet I can clearly see the TV and can change channels.

  I tried to record manually and in the guide, but no luck, same error message. I also tried to record via control of media down Center and it came with a recording conflict, indicating that another program may be trying to save. I never had this problem before. FYI, I record on a Qosmio G20 via a Virgin Media box.

  Hello

  It seems that this error message appears if you try to manually record a program on a channel of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) or / and the channel is not listed in the Program Guide.
  Microsoft has released a useful knowledge base article that could help solve this problem;
  Check this box:

• Qosmio G20 to Mini HiFI Stereo Speaker System AV cable

  Hello

  When I connect my Qosmio G20 to my stereo using the AV cable (with jack white, yellow and red) and my Qosmio includes a cable that joins this cable 3 to the line of the laptop for the helmet.

  The problem is, it only sends the sound to a speaker if I swap the cable then any other speaker works and the previous No.
  I've tried installing speakers / two speakers on the options here and nobody done work.
  I tried another set of audio/video cable and it is the same question.
  This configuration works correctly if I connect it to the TV, but not on my stereo system.
  Do I need a different cable?

  See you soon

  Hello

  Are you sure you have connected the straight plugs at the HiFI?
  You receive a stereo sound will have to connect only two sheets: RED and WHITE.

  I ve also connected my phone to the stereo via a cable 1-2: a plug for headphones and 2 plugs (left, right) to the stereo.
  Everything works beautifully.

  Oh I remember that my HiFi supports a controller at the rear to assign the sound to the left or right speaker.
  I put it at intermediate level for both speakers.
  Maybe it's the same on your HiFI

• Problems with Qosmio G20 and SuSE Linux 10.3 installation

  Hello

  I can't install SuSE Linux 10.3, because the hard drive will not be detected.
  I think it's the Software Raid... in the BIOS are only the options of Raid 0 and JBOD. When I changed to JBOD, it says I need to install the new os.
  Windows XP Professional is installed on the computer and I want to have a system to dual-boot with Open SuSE 10.3.
  How can I solve the problem?

  MfG

  Man... that's a really complicated problem.

  First of all, please consult this site unofficial toshiba official: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/eng/pc/QosG20_report.htm

  West a complete report on your machine where all material etc. are described. The two entries on the bottom of the site describe the problem that you have.

  Another good friend called 'google' redirected me [THIS | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574116] site.

  You see, it s a problem since your RAID controller is not correctly recognized by some kernels/distributions.
  I have no perfect solution for you, but I propose to try another distro (since there are hundreds of them) who could probably work with your machine.

  The best would be to visit www.google.com and type something like "Qosmio G20 linux raid". Trust me, you will get many results. :)

  Keep rocking with linux ;)

• Qosmio G20 - left cooling fan turns noise at startup

  After installing the BIOS ver 1.3, when the laptop computer powers until the cooling fan left running so strong, I thought it might burn or smoke.
  After windows has completely turn on the fan turns off after about 5 minutes.

  If I restart the pc, the fan is operating normally.
  Has anyone else had this problem, can I might get their hands on the older version of BIOS?
  It is pulling my hair.

  Hello Anderson

  Sorry, but your ad is a bit confusing to me.

  > If I restart the pc, the fan is operating normally.
  Restart or normally power is almost the same. Updates means you have noticed this fan cooling problem once right after the BIOS?

  Please watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the behavior of cooling is always strange I recommend you contact the service.
  In the end, one thing is strange. Qosmio G20 isn't the newest model and this version of BIOS is not either yesterday, but you are the first person who has noticed this.
