Qosmio G30-194 What type of Vista (Home, Business or Ultimate)?

I have two Qosmio G30. One at work (G30-153) and one at home (G30-194). I use both for working and also to play movies, games, etc. At work I use a domain. Please advise me about what version of Vista is better to use. I prefer to have the same version in both places.

Hi Marius
On the Microsoft page you will find a difference between Vista Home, Business or Ultimate.
The ultimate is the highest version which includes all Vista applications. But this version cost about 550-600$
For me its a question of cost what version I will use

What type of Vista for Qosmia G30-194

What type of Vista you advise to by installed on a G30-194: x86 or x64, because both works with this type of processor

I agree with snipe. Who knows when the drivers for x64 will be available. It will be available one day but probably not in next few months.

Qosmio G30-194 support the sata2?

Hi All,
I have a Qosmio G30-194 laptop.I would like to buy a Intel ssd,but for the ssd need SATA 2 support.Because just SATA 300 when the ssd works the right speed.I mean 250Mb/s read.The SATA 1 only works max.150MB/s.So my questions is my laptop support SATA2?
Thank you for help.
Kornel

Hi
As far as I know the Qosmio G30-194 HDD controller supports simple SATA (150mbps).
I dont know what specification does the SSD needs but for example the SATA2 HDDs can be used because the SATA is down compatible.
However, if the SSD needs the SATA2 (300mbps) controller then there could be an issue

Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to Ultimate upgrading

Hi Guy's back again with a new query.
I'm looking to upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate...checked out all the so called requirements on the" Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can assure you there are plenty of conflicting ideas about how its all done right down to the fact that I would need an up-grade disk mailed out to me.
Having read a couple of other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guy's may or may not be able to advise me...and the question is:
Does the so called "rescue disk" supplied at purchase, ie the Windows operating system disk...CONTAIN ALL THE "VISTA "AVAILABLE SYSTEMS.....Basic, Home Premium, Business & Ultimate??? and highly unlikely but is it upgrade coded or whatever it is that its meant to be to perform system upgrades?
Many thanks again in anticipation of your kind comments
Andrew.

Hi Jimi,
Thanks for your comments and yes I realise its a user to user forum but you just never know who's floating around.
And I certainly am not confusing the 2 disks Toshiba/MS hence my question in the first place, it only seemed logical to me that Toshiba may have all the OS for Vista on the one CD rather than preparing many different recovery disc's given the volume and variations of the systems they sell.
The serial and key required for updating can be installed onto your system separately after buying same from MS its just a matter then of whether the recovery disc itself has the operating system of the update you require......as for example does the disc an other manufacturer supply with their pre-installed software when you purchase one of their systems.
Thanks again for your kind thoughts and comments and I will investigate further.
Andrew.

Qosmio G30-194: No sound when watching TV

I have an G30-194. Tv-tuner finds the TV programs from my area but they have no souns at all. It's select the country ROMANIA, also the corect system Pal/Secam but no result. Can anyone know what it's the problem.
Thx a lot.

Hi
Can you hear the sound when playing music from CD or mp3 files?
If the sound is coming from the speakers during listening to the music, its not a sound card problem. In such case in my opinion the wrong settings are responsible for this issue.
You have several options with PAL/Secam settings. I think you should check what settings are available in the Romania.
I received some information about the TV tuner driver update. Please check the version on your notebook and maybe you need to update the TV tuner driver.

Re: Upgrading Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Qosmio F50-114

I want to upgrade Vista home premium to Vista Ultimate on Toshiba Qosmio F50-114 could this affect on my hardware or my other software?
I'm using 32-bit system and 4GB RAM expansible to 8GB.

Hi
As far as I know this will not affect the hardware but I read in some threads that the Ultimate version is not fully compatible, or could be not fully compatible with some Toshiba Tools like Vista Added Package.
Im not quite sure if it could be a case on your Qosmio F50-114 but everything is possible.

Upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

I have a Satellite L300 - 1FV laptop with Vista Home Premium.
Is it possible to upgrade to Vista Ultimate?
/Jonny

Of course. Start Control Panel > System and there you can see View basic information about your computer. There is also available option for Upgrade Windows Vista.
You can also install own Vista Ultimate using Microsoft installations DVD. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find and download from Toshiba support page.
Before you do anything please create recovery DVDs using "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator".

Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

I have a T61 with Home Premium that came OEM. I bought a Vista Ultimate with SP1 Upgrade online (download only). Later realized that I should have bought the "Anytime" upgrades that MS offers. Too late now though, no refunds on the download, so I am trying to figure out a way to make it work.
I have a few questions and your help is greatly appreciated:
1. Can I install from the downloaded file or do I need to burn a DVD with the files I downloaded and boot from DVD?
2. What is the best way to get the applications and drivers that came with the T61 for the Vista Ultimate version?
Any tips or suggestions are welcome. I am going to try this tomorrow so I am really hoping it works out.
Srini

Any ideas anyone? I even called Thinkpad support but they refered me to the forums. Said they don't support non-OEM upgrades..
Also, I understand that I will lose the backup and recovery partition that comes with the OEM if I install Vista Ultimate fresh. Is that an issue? I've never really used that partition in the past. I am planning to use the Ultimate version's feature to image my PC after install so I can recover from that instead in case of a failure. Does that feature work well usually?

Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

Dear All,
I have Qosmio G30-194,
first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.

N.B, : My laptop info are:
Model Number PQG32E-01P018AR
Thank you in advance

don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
- install software and drivers for remote again
- reinstall windows
- replace reciever
- change motherboard
- change remote
- terminate and restart relevant processes
- downgrade bios
- update bios
- combinations of the above
on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
"Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
My questions:
If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
Solved!

SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

Purchased Windows Vista Home Basic for the Acer Aspire One yesterday

Given the simplistic nature of the Aspire One, Simplistic computers need simplistic operating systems without the bells and the whistles.
I dont think the upgrade installation went too well. Things were failing left and right after the upgrade so I said [bleep] it. i reran the setup program and chose clean install which forces the old installation to be moved to Windows.Old
Theres a youtube video you have to watch and download the WIFI drivers to be able to get online to get the rest of your drivers through Windows Update.
Whats funny is that my Programs and Applications disc from my old eMachines EL1200 work on any Emachines, Gateway or Acer computer , no matter how old it is , as long as its Windows XP or Vista.

Qosmio F50: How can I install Vista business

hello!
I recently bought qosmio f50 and it came with vista home edition..
I need to install Vista business.
How can i do that?
Do i need to format?
Then how can i install back all the utilities and drivers that it came with?
Will i have problems with my laptop if i do that?
Message was edited by: xaralas

Hi
The Vista installation is not tricky.
Just put the Vista disk into the ODD and then boot from the disk.
The installation will start automatically.
But this will format your HDD and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.
> how can i install back all the utilities and drivers that it came with?
I assume youve got a Toshiba recovery disk.
If you want to get back the OS installed by Toshiba then you should use the Toshiba recovery disk for recovering.
PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask it because F 108 is not known to me

Qosmio G30-126 - Win7 or Vista instaltion hdd not showing

Hello everyone,
i have one system Qosmio g30-126.
I dont have the recovery cds.
I want to instal the Win7 or Win Vista.
He is not showing me the both 200+200 HDD.
plz telling to me what i do.

Hi mate
I think you dont need a SATA driver but RAID driver!
As far as I know the Qosmio G30 supports RAID and therefore you need to include the RAID driver.
Visit the Toshiba European driver page and download the RAID driver which is listed in the list.
Note: Choose the Archive in Product Type because G30 is an older series.
After you have downloaded and uzipped the driver, you will have to add this driver during the Windows installation setup.

Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?
