Re-installation of Qosmio F30-117

Does any body know how can I get full 60GB space on second hard disk.
I sent my laptop for repair because hard disk was faulty. Now I got it back and I was trying to Re-Install from Recovery Disk. Due to no Clear instruction how to use Recovery CD, I Run the CD couple of time. But when I checked both drives there Software installed on it without using RAID option. I formated the D:/ Drive but it displays 55.8 GB instead 60GB and the Drive Label changed to Blue where as rest of the labels are in black.
Have anybody came across this type of problem please advice me what can I do

As far as I know the Qosmio Player is installed on a hiding partition.
Maybe therefore some GB are missed.
In the user manual you will find a lot of infos about the RAID and the installation.
Check it.
I have also find a info that when using the RAID-1 (mirroring), the OS recognizes the lesser capacity of the 2 HDDs.

  • Qosmio F30-117: Unable to make FTP connections

    I have Qosmio F30-117, windows XP, Norton Internet security.
    When I attempt to FTP to my website I get FTP connection failed.
    I have tried on friends computer and connection was made first time.
    When I attached my laptop to his Broadband connection - no FTp. This at least eliminates my router.
    I have tried to disbale parts of Norton Internet Security with no success.
    Help???

    Hi,
    so if I were you I would completely disable the Norton software and make sure the Windows Firewall is letting you trough. Otherwise you should check if your friend has set up everything correctly. If you want to test it that your machine is able to connect over FTP, then go to www.kernel.org and grab some ftp address.
    Then open your favorite FTP client and try to connect. If the connection really fails then double check all settings and try it again. I think the problem is so small that everyone just oversees it. ;)

  • Qosmio F30-117 - Display issues - red and green lines

    Hi there,
    I have a qosmio F30-117 and up to recently, I was delighted with everything about it.
    Then, mid session, the graphics began to deteriorate, which a reboot fixed.
    Then a few days later, it did it again and this time when I rebooted it came up with a corrupted display, lots of aa's all over the place then lines of red and green all over.
    Managed to get in by selecting safe mode with networking and got a desktop although still with the red and green lines all over it.
    Now its gotten worse still, when I boot up the laptop screen itself is blank, its getting something because it isnt totally black like it is when its powered off, but its blank.
    As a check I connected an external monitor and managed to get in again to safe mode with networking, but its still very bad, and still has the red and green lines all over.
    I started to have a look around on the good old www and there are numerous posters and articles with problems, and lots mentioning the red and green lines etc...
    so Im not alone, but no-one seems to know exactly what it is.
    Some have mentioned Toshiba acknowledging this as a problem and doing repairs even if out of warranty.
    So, any ideas, any advice, and does anyone know if Tosh have indeed accepted the problem and offering any help??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I think it's a common problem in the Qosmio F30 models. After long term use, the soldering balls under the GPU chipset start to melt down because of the over heat and the bad soldering quality that was used with the F30 model that cannot resist high temperature. Now you have to replace the motherboard, since the GPU is build within the motherboard.
    However, there is another two solution for this problem and cost less money amount:
    1- do what is called a "heat reflow" for the VGA chipset: to do this you have to take the motherboard out and heat the VGA chipset on the motherboard with a heat gun or you can bake it in the oven for a few minutes at low temp, this will make the soldering balls melt and go back to there right position. However, you need to keep in mind that this solution is temporary and will last maybe for month then you have to do it again and again till you ruin the GPU and then the only solution will be to buy another motherboard. So I don't recommend that you do that at all, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a new motherboard this will help you to recover your data, even though there is more easier solution to do the recovery.
    Anyways, you can go to youtube and search the term "VGA heat reflow " to see how people do it.
    2- send your motherboard to a repairing service that can do what is called reballing: what they do is that they will replace the soldering balls under the VGA chipset with new ones that can resist high temp. and this solution is permanent and even in the future you don't have to worry that the same problem will happen again since the new soldering balls can take high temp change. I do recommend this solution even more than buying a motherboard, since the motherboard that you will get will generate the same problem after few years.
    you can find this type of repair service online if you googled the term "VGA reball repair" or you can find it on ebay
    If you decided to replace the motherboard I think you will not be able to find a new one, and in case you found one it will be more expensive than a new laptop, but still you can find used motherboard for your qosmio on ebay or online. so you need to do a search and find out what fits your budget or maybe it's better to buy a new laptop.
    Sorry about your qosmio, and hope that my post will help you!

  • Qosmio F30-117: How Vista calculate Win Experience Index Graphics score?

    My F30-117 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. WIE gives this a graphics score of *4.9* based on the following info:
    Total available graphics memory 399 MB
    Dedicated graphics memory 128 MB
    Dedicated system memory 0 MB
    Shared system memory 271 MB
    However my G40-108 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. WIE only gives this a graphics score of *4.4* based on the following info:
    Total available graphics memory 1791 MB
    Dedicated graphics memory 512 MB
    Dedicated system memory 0 MB
    Shared system memory 1279 MB
    Anyone know why? Both PCs have the latest drivers and all available Windows updates. Both are running Vista Ultimate. If anything I would expect the scores to be the other way around !

    Hi
    The Windows Experience Index Vista feature that is designed to help better understand
    how Windows Vista and other software will perform on your computer.
    As far as I know the scale of the Windows Experience Index ranges from 1.0 to 5.9.
    A higher base score means that your computer will perform better as a computer with a lower score.
    I dont want to explain the whole features because there are many useful Microsoft pages which already provide such informations:
    Check this:
    [Windows Experience Index: An In-Depth Look|http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/pages/458117.aspx]

  • Qosmio F30-117 - green and blue lines on the screen

    So my F30-117 has been working well recently until I turned it on and had green and blue lines (sort of like scan lines) overlapping the screen.
    I tried to install new drivers from nvidia, but that didn't work, as Vista just picked them up as unknown.
    Anyone got a solution? Do you think the graphics card needs to be reseated?
    Thanks in advance!
    - Shayde Zehetbauer.

    You can easy determine what the reason is for this.
    Do you know how?
    Just connect an external monitor to the notebook and check the picture on it.
    If you have the same issue on the external monitor the reason is the graphic card and/or mainboard, if not its an internal display issue.
    Check this!
    Furthermore you should only use the drivers from Toshiba. The Nvidia drivers dont have an overheat protection so the graphic chip could be damaged. Its on your own risk.
    So try to install the drivers from Toshiba.

  • Windows XP-SP2 installation on Qosmio F30-140

    I have original Microsoft WinXP-SP2 profession. When installing the XP-Pro it does not see the Harddisk. The XP can load the driver only from drive A (floppy disk) which we don't have. Please advise.

    Hello
    It is not necessary to start few postings with the same theme. Anyway at first download RAID driver for your Qosmio notebook. You can find it on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ and the version number is 1.10.0016.
    Please save it on USB memory stick. Start the notebook again and at the beginning of the installation procedure press F6 (if I am remembering well) to load RAID driver. Just follow menu on the screen and you will see when you must press F6 to load RAID driver.

  • Qosmio F30-117: How long does the repair take?

    can any body tell me how long does it take for toshiba repair center to repair the laptop and send it back. I bought this new laptop but there was harddisk fault, then i sent it for repair but not yet received. Its two weeks now.

    Mine went for repair twice - I think the fault was quite straightforward so was just a screen swap. This may explain the speed of turnaround. The first time it was picked up on a Wednesday - arrived Thursday and was repaired. It was then sent back and I got it on Monday (4 working days). The second time it took longer and was around 7-8 working days.
    I found it useful to call the repair centre. They have some notes on machines there but if they can't give you specifics they should be able to give you the number for the 3rd party people that fix them and they'll give you a full update. Usually the third party places only work standard office days and hours.
    hope this helps.

    Hello
    What OS is installed at the moment?
    If Windows doesnt start anymore there is not much what you can do and I would recommend reinstalling Windows from Toshiba recovery disk. Such a new and clean installation can help to get Windows working and new installed Windows system will also run a little bit faster and more stable so its recommendable to reinstall it from time to time (1-2 years).
    So take the Toshiba recovery disk and follow the screen instructions to reinstall Windows.

  • Installation of second HDD into Qosmio F30

    Hi guys and gals :)
    I just purchased secondary hard disk drive for my Qosmio F30 but when I opened the drive bay I found that I have a problem with drive's installation on my hands.
    First I tried placing new drive into bay and gently pressing it to connect with sata data and power connectors, and it works perfectly, but it is impossible to move notebook around since drive is a bit loose in the bay and I kinda worry for my data and the drive itself.
    Then I opened first bay and noticed that original Toshiba's drive is kept in place with help of some thin metal plate mount, which is secured onto both the drive and the bay with some screws.
    I checked the web for any reviews of F30 model which could have photos of secondary bay in its opened state, and found some. The photos displayed the same thing Im seeing. Check this one out, it shows the secondary bay clearly (sata connectors are to the right and not visible):
    http://www.ferra.ru/images/179/179520.jpg
    Note a small screw hole at the left side of the bay, obviously intended for securing the similar mounting plate with secondary hdd onto the notebook. The plate which is, sadly, not included with my computer.
    Does anyone here had the same problem and if yes, how did you resolve it?

    Hi
    As you already said the HDD needs a special frame which holds the 2.5 HDD in the bay.
    Such frame and the necessary screws you could order directly from the authorized service provider which is responsible for your country.
    I would recommend talking to these guys and explain what you need.
    Best regards
