Qosmio G20 - How to install with one single HDD and without RAID?

I want to set up Qosimo G20 new with Windows XP 32.
I bought a new harddisk and put it into slot 1. I would like to run it without any RAID (so slot 2 is empty)
XP installation CD did not discover the HD
I entered BIOS to see if the HD was there - The HD is recognized normal
then I thought I have to change RAID to JBOD (page 3 BIOS) but this did not work
I confirmed it with the 1234 key - but nothing hapened.
In another task they said to install RAID-drivers (pressing F6... while starting XP installation)
I put the drivers on a USB-stick - but the system will not discover it (and there is no floppy drive)
I have no idea how to install XP on this Laptop.
Any hints?
Chris

>I put the drivers on a USB-stick - but the system will not discover it (and there is no floppy drive)
Win XP does not recognize USB flash memory while setup. This is possible since Vista OS so either you will need a USB floppy drive or you will built a new Win XP CD and will add the RAID driver using the nLite software.
Here is a nice FAQ how to add the RAID (or SATA driver) to using nLite.

Note: this describes how to add the SATA drivers you have to add the RAID drivers so dont use SATA driver but RAID driver
Good luck

Qosmio G20: How to get rid of large, green on-screen volume display?

Hi,
I have a Qosmio G20 which i bought in Japan last year and have since changed it over to English operating system and drivers. However one thing ive noticed that is different from the Japanese set up is that everytime i adjust the Volume level using the wheel on the right hand side of the laptop, a large green Volume level display comes up on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes up nearly half of the screen. The Japanese version didnt have this problem.
I checked all the settings in Control Panel and various Properties sections as well but couldnt find anything.
Any suggestions how to remove it? Any other Qosmio users have this on their screen?
Thanks.

OK, here's how the volume bar works in all Media Center (2004-2005) and how to change it :
Create a .txt file with the following :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay]
"Disable"=dword:00000000
"FontSize"=dword:00000024
"Color"=dword:00ffffff
"Timeout"=dword:000003e8
Don't include the --------
Now here are what the settings do:
Disable: (enable or disable the volume bar)
- 00000000 (bar is shown)
- 00000001 (bar is hidden)
FontSize: (decide the font sized used to display the word "volume")
- 00000024 is font size 36 (it's hexadecimal value), for exemple 00000014 is fontsize 20, etc..
Color: (the color of the control bar and of the word "volume")
00ffffff corresponds to white, 00000000 corresponds to black. also hexadecimal.
If you want an easy way to find out, just check the color you want in HTML:
If HTML is #00AAFF for exemple, then you need to put value 00FFAA00, or for HTML #556677, the value will be 00776655
Timeout: (it represent the duration of displaying the volume bar)
000003e8 corrsponds to 1000 ms = 1 seconde. For exemple, 1,5 second is 000005dc, or 2 second is 000007d0
So replace accordingly the above with the value that you like, save as "bar.reg" then double click on it and reboot the PC!
Enjoy, it was quite a hassle to find those keys because they don't exist initially! (and because for each try, I must reboot.. :/ )
Later,
Alcahest
ps: it works on ALL Qosmio machines ;)

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level. I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
(In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:
Blahblah 09    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 10    1000.2GB     Free                 SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 11    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
Blahblah 12    1000.2GB   RaidSet Member SamSung HD103SJ
(See this earlier thread if you wish!)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
I have one OS drive
and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
Thanks
Rowby

Harm,
Regarding your comment:
Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
Step 2: Turn off the computer
Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
Cheers,
Jim

Select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event

Does anyone know how to create a JTable which can select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event in JTable. Fore example, if the table has
row1
row2
row3
row4
row5
row6
What I need is when user select row1 or row2, both row1 and row2 should be set to be selected. Then if user press CTRL and click one of row3 or row4, both of them should be selected including the previouse selected row1 and row2.
For deselection, if row1 and row2 are selected, when users deselect one of row1 or row2, both of them should be deselected.
Hopefully someone can give me a hint.

Here is a partial solution using a JList. Only one line gets highlighted when the user makes a selection in the list. But, two lines are returned. There is a blank line between every two lines.
     private void addLineToList() {
          String a = f_one.getText();
          String b = f_two.getText();
          if (a.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Item field is empty.");
               f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          if (b.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Match field is empty.");
               f_two.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          model.addElement("item: " + a);
          model.addElement("match: " + b);
          model.addElement(" ");
          int size = model.getSize();
          pairList.setSelectedIndex(size - 3);
          f_one.setText("");
          f_two.setText("");
          f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
     private void editList() {
          if (pairList.getSelectedValue().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(" ")) {
               Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
               f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          if (!f_one.getText().equals("")) {
               int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
               "The Item field contains text. Replace the text?",
               "Flash Card Activity", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
               OptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
               if (result == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) return;
          if (!f_two.getText().equals("")) {
               int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,

               "Flash Card Activity", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
               JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
               if (result == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) return;
          String item = "";
          String match = "";
          int index = pairList.getSelectedIndex();
          String choice = model.getElementAt(index).toString();
          if (choice.startsWith("item")) {
               item = choice;
               match = model.getElementAt(index + 1).toString();
               model.remove(index);
               model.remove(index);
               model.remove(index);
          else {
               item = model.getElementAt(index - 1).toString();
               match = choice;
               model.remove(index + 1);

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

Entire JDBC communication stopped if problem with one single JDBC interface

Hello,
Will the entire JDBC communication stopped if problem with one single JDBC interface?
Thanks,
Soorya.

hi surya,
this will happend if u use maintain order at runtime at interface determination.
just uncheck this option if u dont neet EOIO.
if you are getting the problem if u r going for EO then the problem might be using same JDBC channel for all interfaces.
if each interface is expected with a high load then it better to go for dedicated channels for interfaces.
like INTERFACE A should use JDBC A channel and INTERFACE B should use JDBC B channel.
Thanks & Regards,
Rama krishna

JDBC communication stopped if problem with one single JDBC interface

Hello,
Can you please explain this phrase
"JDBC communication stopped if problem with one single JDBC interface"
THanks,
Soorya

If you are having a problem with a JDBC interface (lets consider this to be a communication channel) then the communication is stopped (via that channel) (only in the case of EOIO).
Hope this clarifies.
Cheers,

When an app is downloaded with one apple id and needs update later on then how to change apple id on app store for updting that app???

You can't. All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, and cannot be updated using any other ID.

Hi, i have an iphone5 with one icloud ID, and a IPad2 with another Icloud Id, i want to unify both ID, how can I do?

Use the same ID on both. Be advised that downloads are forever tied
to the AppleID used to obtain them, and items from one ID cannot
be transferred to another ID.
Use the ID with the most items you want to keep. Anything from the other
ID will have to be redownloaded with the preferred ID (if purchased, they
will have to be paid for again).

How can I save my keynote presentation as one single file and not a folder

I use the latest kerynote version and I would like to upload the presentation as a single file to a collaboration solution.
How can I save my presentation as one single file and not as a folder?

Keynote "files" are not single files, they are packages which contain all the individual files that the presentation requires.
Some online storage systems such as Google Drive show Keynote as a folder.
We use Dropbox to distribute all our file types and Keynote does not have an issue using that.
