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

New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed
Hello
There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.
Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:* Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.
You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.
Download here:http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/169.25_vista.rar

Qosmio G20 with Intervideo WinDVR3
Hello
I have a laptop Qosmio G20/395LS (purchased at the Japan) that since I converted to English Windows XP Pro SP2. I then downloaded all the drivers from Toshiba on the site of Toshiba UK, choosing the Qosmio PQG20, which is the closest model from my Japanese version. (The Toshiba to the Japan site is not all drivers available for download, that's why I used the site of Toshiba UK.)
In any case, all functions work perfectly, except that I canoe use Intervideo WinDVR3 to watch television. It recognizes the Composite inputs and S-video but not the antenna TV input option. I have a normal TV antenna cable connected to the Qosmio and can watch TV with other software such as Qosmio Player, Windows Media Center and same Intervideo Home Theater. But not with WinDVR3 (Im using the latest version downloaded from the Web site of Interviodeo.) I don't like Windows Media Center or Intervideo Home Theater and Qosmio Player not use that by cutting off the power supply, so I defintely want to use Intervideo WinDVR.
I contacted Intervideo, and they said that my hardware is certainly consistent, but I must have the correct WDM driver installed for the TV Tuner to operate correctly the WinDVR. Im not sure what is a WDM driver, but looks like I need to download the correct driver for the TV Tuner on this Qosmio.
I checked Toshiba Japan website, but I saw no TV Tuner driver to download it. Ive tried a few of the drivers TV Tuner for the different models on the Web sites of UK and US Toshiba, but WinDVR still does not recognize the option antenna TV.
Can someone point me to the right driver WDM driver that I need to get this software WinDVR3 will?
Thank you.
Hello
Toshiba doesn't recommend that you install the graphics drivers 3rd or any additional graphics accelerator. This may damage the video card or the motherboard.
On the Toshiba driver page, you will find all the WDM drivers. Only the Tv tuner and graphics drivers.I don't know if the WinDVR is supported by Mr. antenna interface I've never checked.
However, I found this site. If you wish, you can consult this site on WDM driver:

Downloading and installing Tuner driver - Qosmio G20
Excuse my ignorance, but I downloaded a file zip on the Toshiba site containing files for installing a tv tuner driver (date updated 11.24.05) for my Qosmio G20 - 139 (PQG21E-01500NEN). The instructions say: '... .cochez the contents of the zip file for details of installation, but I can't find/identify a file that provides instructions on how (there are a few I clicked on this offer a warning about opening files, so, being a novice in these things, I chose to not continue).
Can anyone advise me on what file contains the installation instructions, or how I should go about installing this driver?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Eduar
I t's not done this before, but as you can see there is no any file setup.exe and install the driver on the usual way. Go to device manager, chose the device and properties you can use the option of installing the driver.
You can also start the Add Hardware Wizard.

Keyboard driver Qosmio G20 preventing standby / Hibernation
I can't get my G20 to go to sleep more. Error, said 101 keyboard standby preventing driver. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. Also tried the latest driver from Microsoft, but one installed is the most recent. It was working until I installed a few new applications. I also see a message during said DWWIN box. EXE DOF does not not because of the judgment.
Hello
For me it looks like you have a software problem. To correct this quickly go to start-> programs-> Accessories-> system-> restore computer utilities. From here choose a restore point that you know is older, then when you have installed the software and this problem started. Then restore from there. It should essentially put the computer back a few weeks or however long you choose and go from there. At this point, the program affecting your computer must not be installed and it should work normally. If you have problems make me know. Have a good day and I hope that solves your problem.

I installed Vista on Qosmio G30 and it works well (sound, image). I put t know why you have this problem, but maybe you should wait for the official launch of Vista. After Toshiba official lunch will offer probably all the necessary drivers for all mobile phones capable of Vista.
It is not necessary to be frustrated.

Qosmio G20 with TV (s-video cable) - the screen is black and with
Hallo and another question by me... when I connect with the TV using the s-video cable still the TV screen is black and white, I checked this on two different TV, is always the same, and even when I am felt for the settings of the card and when I'm changing color options nothing happen Thanks for your help
Hi again
As far as I know if you connect your device to the TV, check the settings for S-video on the TV.
By the way:
All new TVs from 70 cm to the top screen diagonal must effectively control S-Video connection on SCART. However, this should be enabled in some cases. If the image does not appear in the color anyway, your TV doesn't support certainly S-video. In this case there are adapters that allows S-Video Composite video (RCA cable). You can find it in all the electronic stores.Good bye

TV with a Qosmio G20 - Scart option out problem disappeared
I have a problem with my video card and its driver.
I have a Qosmio G20 with a Nvidia GeForce Go 6600.
Yesterday, when I start my laptop I saw that some settings have disappeared.I tried to connect the pc to the TV in the manner described here: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm
but the SCART option in the menu format of TV was vanished and he was in the bios setting too.I tried to reinstall the display driver, but I have not solved my problem.
Now I can not connect the pc with tv and it is a very big problem for me.Please help me if you can.
Thank you. (and sorry for my very bad English)Hello
Maybe the cable SCART is malfunctioning or is wrong?
Some cables have a misallocation of the PINS and, therefore, the connection of the TV not functions
In my opinion, the cable must be checkedThe other reason for the missing scart PAL option in the BIOS could be a wrong setting of DMI. But this can be checked by an ASP.
Then try to communicate with the guys of technician and talk to them about the problem of lack of option SCART PAL in the BIOS.Good bye

JBOD Qosmio G20 - could not initialize the disk of 320 GB - 1RAID-0
Hello, comrades Toshiba users,
at first, I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I did not find the answer to my problem.One of my colleagues has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB drives. Big 17-inch "surf-board-sized" computers laptops are not my cup of tea, but the Qosmio him quite well served.
We tried to upgrade the two hard drives of aging in his laptop. With considerable experience in replacing the readers of the laptop, I didn't expect no particular surprise, but I was wrong.We tried to replace the original disks
Bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, System
2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off the coast of the Baywith the new
Bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio
WD Scorpio 2: 320 GB drive Bay.The BIOS of the G20 is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes new readers-, but one of the new marking as 1RAID-0 disks fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320 GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of the G20 of BIOS, there is a disk activity, but the drive remains in JBOD mode.
Unable to mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320 GB drive as a system disk.
If the original system drive is cloned on a new 320 GB drive, that it does not start. Starting XP * begins * but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when the Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows startup.
Plain vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed windows installation driver Toshiba, impossible rest. Installing Windows don't "see" drive in Bay 2.When the drive system is put in the high Bay and G20 is started from it, Windows XP starts correctly. The drive in Bay 1 is accessable from Windows, however, remains offline in the RAID from Toshiba console. If the start player in Bay 2 is not an option, too.
A similar problem, where the owner could not install a system of 200 GB drive is described here
Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
The owner, however managed to install a 100 GB drive and we have resorted to 80 GB of disk as a system disk and the only player upgrade in Bay 2 to 320 GB.I understand what happens when the disk is 'initialized' in the BIOS. Only brands of BIOS of Toshiba disk 1RAID-0, and it breaks down on 320 GB drive. I will refrain from expressing my opinion on this practice.
My question is - if it is possible, how * manually * mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0?
Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also know the disc more large size which * can * be marked with success under the name of 1RAID-0 at BIOS G20.Thanks in advance.
Hello
I m not 100% sure, what could be wrong by presumably 320 HARD drive size might be too big!
How about the 100 GB or 120 GB hard drives?I think you should consider it because usually most of the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.
But note; using the configuration of 1RAID-0 (striping), met by the operating system size is twice more only if the smaller of the two HARD drives in RAID configuration. Using RAID-0, all data on both disks will be lost, even if it is training of two disks fails.
