RAID 0 on Qosmio X300-13O

I have got Qosmio x300-13O and I would like to make raid 0, but in BIOS aren't any options to make raid.
How I can do that?

Hi
I think this depends on software but I think you will need to install firstly the OS and then the RAID software and then you could make some changes.
I searched also for some tips and someone posted this:
Go to disk management (My computer -> right click -> Manage)
There you will see both HDD. Click right on the square where disk 0 and disk 1 is listed and convert in dynamical data medium.
Then you can build a RAID with both HDDs.

Qosmio X300-13O - Black screen on startup

Hi, I have a problem with my Qosmio X300-13O.
When I turn on the computer the screen is black, I can hear the windows starting up but I can't see a thing. I've figured that when I remove the battery and plug in the power cable the computer works fine. So my question is: Is it a batterys fault or computer fault?
How can I fix it (working without battery doesn't count)?
I'l add that i still have a warranty (I bought my X300 on may this year).

Hi buddy,
Have you tried an external monitor on the notebook? Maybe the internal display is faulty and so you can work with an external monitor.
However, for me it sounds like a hardware issue and I think the internal display should be replaced but an authorized service provider (technician) can check this and exchange the hardware.
If your notebook is under warranty, the repair should be for free! :)

Qosmio X300-13O - Is HDD getting slower?

My Device is: Qosmio X300-13O, with 600GB (two harddisks 300GB & 300GB).
Hello, for the past two years I have put/copy/cut/paste hundreds of GBytes (because of my line of work). Some one told me that with time the harddisk speed _well become slower_ (speically that I use eSata cable with my external harddisks; the speed is around 50 to 60 MB per Second )
*1. Is that right or not?*
If I want to buy internal harddisk, *2. Is there speed for it or all harddisks is the same?*
One more thing; If I used the harddisk which the windows on for this use, *3.does it effect it?*
Sorry to take your time, & if any one knows anything about this, PLEASE tell me. REGARDS

Hi DaYiM_1,
The HDD isnt getting slower after months or years of usage but Windows is getting slower due a lot of installed and uninstalled programs. With other words: HDDs are not getting slower, but Windows. Therefore its recommendable to reinstall Windows from time to time.
> 2. Is there speed for it or all harddisks is the same?
HDDs have different speeds, like 5400rpm and 7200rpm. Latter are faster but need more power and produces more heat. Normally 5400rpm should be enough for most applications.
> 3.does it effect it?
To be honest I dont know what you mean exactly. As I wrote, HDDs are not getting slower but Windows.

Does Qosmio X300-13O support quad-core?

Well title says it all; does the X300-13O support quad and is it at all possible to upgrade the CPU?
Found this CPU which uses the same socket as the current CPU.

Alex

>Does the X300-13O support quad and is it at all possible to upgrade the CPU?
This depends on the chipset and BIOS.
The notebook supports the Mobile Intel(R) PM45 Express Chipset.
Check this Intel page:
http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/pm45/pm45-overview.htm
Here you can see that only *Intel Core2 Duo* processor is supported

Qosmio X300-13O Screen cuts out

I was chilling at my desktop today when suddenly my screen turned black. I couldnt see anything, but when i held a flashlight up against the screen i saw that there still was life in the computer, i was still on the desktop, but the light was just very, very weak. After some time it turns back to normal, but after some more time it happens again.
Sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes it doesnt. When it doesnt i got no other choice but to turn off my computer and wait 10-15 min, to turn it on again. Then it works normally again. Allthough, shortly after startup, the same problem comes back.
Basically, everything is normal, after some time (5-10 minutes) screen ALMOST turns completely black, if u hold a light up to ur screen you can barely see what you're doing/whats happening. 30 sec - 3 minutes after your screen turns black, it goes back to normal.
This problem goes over and over and over. It's a real pain.
Its really hard to describe, and yes i have set the light to max. i dont have "weak" light on any power supply option. It's always on max.
Help me?

Hi,
Sounds like the Backlight has a problem, possibly the FL Inverter or LCD. I would send it to an Authorized Service Center for repair.

Qosmio X300 - Black faded screen if I boot up

Hello
I recently purchase a Toshiba Qosmio X300-13O. I run before a week the system restore and I install all the drivers. As a result the laptop created a problem, every time I try to boot up a black faded screen apears and then the laptop restarts. Also the iluminted hot keys do not work.
Please help me solve this issue.
Regard, Aris

Thank you for your help. It was quite useful but it didn't give any results. The good news is that i found the wrong install driver, I tried to uninstall it from safe mode and from normal windows but it didn't allow me to do this. An error message appeared saying that the driver didn't install correctly and i don't have any permission to do that. My opinion is to return windows again in factory settings but i don't want to format my HDD because i am a student and i have a lot of work to back up and restore. If you have more advice to give me that it could be very useful. Thank you again for your help.
Regards Aris

How to use RAID 0 on Qosmio x300-11w?

Hi,
I have a Qosmio x300-11w with 2 320GB HDD and I would like to use them in RAID 0 for a bit more speed, I cant see any RAID options in BIOS. Is there another way to enable it?
My BIOS version up to date version 1-30 I think.
Anyone know if it is possible with this system?
Thanks in advance

Hello Teit
If notebook has such option it is described in users manuals but according to this document for your X300 (PQX32E) RAID is not available. Not a word about it is there.

Hi,
I've upgraded X300-13P up to Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Now laptop works.

The "bottleneck" - operations with numbers (sorry - I translate from russian: probably not accurately).
What should I do to increase?
Please, advise.

Hi *PauPau*,

It's not clear: what does mean "L500 series" - soft, say, for the "Satellite L500-ST2521" is applicable for Qosmio X300? Any model???
And only Flash card for "L500", but native VAP for X300?

Hi there,
Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10. there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K. So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate. For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
Addditional information:
everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down, laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot. the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects. This is scenario one.
scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
Please note well: I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
kind regards

How-to: Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X300

Admins: please review this content, and make this topic sticky.
I decided to try out Windows XP on my Qosmio X300-130 laptop, that came with Windows Vista 32-bit pre-installed.
I bought XP Pro license + disc.
Part A: Installation
===============
1. Go to Intel website and download "Intel RST" drivers -- those are required to recognize the SATA disk. Unfortunately Qosmio X300 does not provide IDE emulation in it's BIOS.
2. Download "nLite"
3. Start "nLite" and choose option to slipstream the drivers, and choose to integrate Intel RST drivers, and create ISO. Burn the ISO on a CD-R.
4. The new CD disc should be installable on our hardware
Part B: Video
===========
Unfortunately, Toshiba modified GeForce used in the laptop, so standard NVIDIA drivers won't install on Windows. (they do install on Linux BTW)
PCI (and PCI express) code is made of several parts:
-VENDOR ID (NVIDIA, main vendor)
-DEVICE ID (chip used, GeForce 9700 GTS in my case)
-SUB SYSTEM ID (Toshiba, secondary vendor)
After you installed fresh XP, go to device manager, and see devices under yellow question mark. (devices that Windows can't recognize)
Click on VGA (it is our GeForce) --> Details --> Device instance ID.
You need to search original NVIDIA driver for your DEVICE ID (that is, so it matches the chip in your laptop exactly, DEV_062A for me).
I had to change one single file from original NVIDIA driver:
nvts.inf
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_00011179
-->
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_FF011179
Part C: Network & Audio
===================
You need few drivers:
-Intel WiFi 5100 drivers
-Realtek PCI-E Gigabit drivers
-Realtek HD Audio drivers

Very nice posting!
Thanks dude for this! I think it could be interesting for others!

[Qosmio X300] How to get MaxxAudio tab in realtek hd audio manager again?

First, sorry for my bad english, but I need your help =)
After I updated my audio driver (realtek hd audio) the MaxxAudio tab in the realtek window was lost...
To fix it, I have tried to "downdate" my driver, but I always can't see MaxxAudio.
I have also search solutions in Internet (Toshiba drivers page, forums, realtek.com...) I have found nothing.
As I had upgraded my computer to windows 7, I have tried to install an old version of this driver which was in the Toshiba Upgrade DVD, but no MaxxAudio tab in the realtek window...
And now, I have no Idea anymore, that's why I ask you.

Qosmio X300 - CORSAIR RAM is not working

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Qosmio x300-130 and in users manuall it is said it support max 2 x 4gb ddr 3 =8gb
So today my CORSAIR RAM ARRIVED !!! AND i was suprised they didnt work !!!!
Ima out of tricks what do u think the pr is ?
here is the part number
cmso4gx3m1a1333c9 i bought 2 x4gb :(

Yup...... here is my story and how it went :)
it looks like modules with 1066 mhz are rare these days and apparently....... the newe ones which are 1600 will not work under any circumstance.....
So today the shop refunded my money and i decide to go by car and search for modules which are DDR3 and 1066 mhz and after 1-2 hours driving i found a small repair shop where, when i entered and asked they said they have.. and apparently this shop is collecting all these old modules and reselling them for good profit since these modules are more expensive than newer ones...
Anyway we tried Kingston, Samsung, Adata and many other companies all of them worked i wanted to buy 2x4GB=8Gb the which according to manuall the laptop supports max 8GB RAM !!! but i was shocked after we loaded the modules 2x8GB = 16Gb again 1066mhz ola !!!!
The laptop botted up and in phoenix Bios it showed 16GB !!! i was shocked ....... So i ended up buying the 16GB and went home happilly ever after ;)
I hope RAM problem resolved
