XP PRO on the Qosmio G40-10 s

Hello

I had my Qosmio G40 - 10 s about a month and I think to change the o/s to XP Pro because Vista has loads of bugs with stuff 3d graphics I do. I was wondering if somebody did it and how it was?

Hello

Before that you would expect from a search option check response. You can find several discussions on WXP on G40. For example this one: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=103083

Bye and good luck!

  • Signal (PAL 60) record with the Qosmio G40 Line In (Capture) Option

    I'm in Australia - and I have a lot of NTSC video tapes I want to MPEG...

    These bands play very well on all the TVs/LCD TV in the House.

    Qosmio G40 seems to have problems with PAL 60 signal that sends my VHS player...

    My VHS/DVD from Toshiba drive is to convert NTSC to PAL 60 signal - as this VHS player bought in Australia - this seems to be the Australian standard bought a VHS/DVD player.

    There is no option on the VHS player to the NTSC signal... I tried another VHS player - and it gives me the same output PAL 60, this player also could leave the NTSC signal...

    So I wonder if the Qosmio G40 is able to record the signal PAL 60 - maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere...

    I use Ulead movie maker software, which is supplied with the machine... but I don't see any options on the support PAL 60...
    Maybe the TV card installed in the machine does not support PAL 60 - I can't find any info about this...

    Maybe I need to use a software of different capture which will support PAL 60 options...
    Or maybe I just buy a VHS of America drive, and qosmio q40 will capture the NTSC image very well... (I already have a few products from 110V at home)

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    I'm not sure if this is possible, but you can check the BIOS settings, if there is an option that would allows you to change settings of NTCS/PAL.

  • Drivers Windows 7 for the Qosmio G40-12 s

    I have a Qosmio G40 - 12 s with windows Vista 32-bit Edition full
    And I install a Windows7 Ultimate 32 bit instead of vista, before I had to download all the drivers in this link (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
    I select these choices:
    Laptop > Qosmio > Qosmio G Series > Qosmio G40 > PQG40E > Windows7 32 Bit > ALL > ALL > English > search

    but I think that there is no version of Windows7 that vista has, for example: there are no drivers for Windows7 infrared but here one for Vista
    He is there not TEMPRO, ASSENT, silent acoustic, AMT, online Information product, Manager of remote control, Touchpad Driver, tiles for Mobility Center, etc... For windows 7!
    My Vista driver was 27 driver - windows 7 driver only 19!

    Driver 8 was missing in this link, we find that drivers?

    I find TouchPad driver and I found one for her, but I can't found pilot infrared and Manager remotely so my remote not working do not now?

    Please advise me!

    You are right. Some drivers are not available. I noticed the same thing for my Satellite A300.
    For missing drivers, you can install the Vista drivers.

    I did the same thing and everything works fine.

  • Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300

    Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.
    I tried to install it but now luck.

    I could format the HARD drive and then install or what I have to do something with the Bios.
    Frank

    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
    I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
    Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
    Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
    But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.

    Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
    So look for a little

  • No RAID on the Qosmio G40

    I received the new Qosmio G40 to test, but there is no RAID more?

    But I also found the RAID on C:, Toshiba, drivers, Raid drivers - what can I do with this... I don't really know how :(

    To my knowledge only Qosmio G20 and the G30 supports the RAID. Units of the RAID on the third page of the BIOS can be found on it.

    The G40 has two hard disks, but the RAID is not supported and is not available!

    Please don't be confused! That is a simple made!

  • Can I use two hard drives in the Qosmio G40-10th

    Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop. I read simewhere that it had to be two slots hard drive in it?
    If so where is it located?
    Ther would be all issues around extra heat that could be generated etc.?

    I have had mine for about 5/6 months and have had a screen replaced (defective backlight).
    Many other people have had problems?

    I wonder if its worth buy the extended warranty.

    See you soon.
    Sunil

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop takes support only a single HARD disk.
    Check the underside of the laptop. Do you see a second slot (cover) the second HDD?
    I imagine that it has a single HARD drive Bay, and so only a single HARD disk can be used.

    I m not a G40 owner and, therefore, I cannot comment on any other issue.
    But each computer technology may start to malfunction it is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty.

    Best regards

    As far as I know the RAID options are offered on laptops with preinstalled Toshiba RAID Utility.
    With this tool, you can choose between two options:
    -RAID 0 stripping
    -mirroring RAID 1

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that Toshiba do not offer this tool for Qosmio G40 and I'm afraid that's not possible on your laptop.
    This tool is preinstalled on your computer?

  • Qosmio G40 Windows XP - some drivers/utilities missing

    Dear all,

    I would be grateful if anyone can tell where I can get drivers/utilities for Windows XP for the following:
    -Flash cards (to make the combinations of work: switch between monitors, brightness, ets);
    -Shortcut keys on the keyboard {eleven buttons}.

    All the other drivers/utilities have been found/installed/proved to work correctly. XP seems to work a lot smoother and faster on this beautiful piece of hardware.

    Thank you for your help,
    Kind regards

    The utility of flash cards is only available for Vista.

    I looked on the page of the Toshiba driver and, unfortunately, but I didn t see the XP drivers for the Qosmio G40 at this time.
    I assume that you've found the XP drivers some currents such as graphics card or driver sound on 3 third-party pages. But to use the features of Toshiba as button of keyboard shortcuts, you will need a XP driver and tool designed especially for this laptop.

    Looks like the drivers are not available at this time and we will have to wait until XP drivers will be sorry, but I really put t see another possibility.

    Best regards dude

  • Qosmio G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

    I get a message...
    Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
    Memory PCI controller... failed

    Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

    Hi spudcam,

    This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

    Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

    AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
    Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)
