Satellite L455D-S597​6: Disk system part deleted

Hi!!!!
Configuration:
TOSHIBA Satellite L455D-S5976
AMD Sempron SI-42
2GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB HDD
I have trouble with my Hard disk.
The disk configuration was like this:
Part C: System about 300 Mb
Part D: second part about 120 Gb
Part F: third part about 120 Gb
I tried to reset this configuration like this:
Part C: Primary part about 120 Gb
Part D: Second part about 120 Gb
Part F: System about 300 Mb
So I delete the system part and configuration completed succefully.
But now It's impossible to install the system on the computer.
Is it possible to restore the small system part?
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you created restore discs when you got the computer, you can use them to completely recover your computer to factory defaults. If not, you'll need to order recovery media from Toshiba.

  • ERROR:Could not read archive file - during Processing Base System Part 2

    Hi there,
    What I have:
    * I have problem with installation of the Mac OS X Panther v10.3 on iMac.
    * I have 3 original CDs (black with silver X).
    What I did:
    * I made new 1 partition and formated disk as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) over the Disk Utility in the first CD as normal without additional options (if I tried to format disk with zero all data and 8 way random write format after 3 days computer freeze)
    * I verified disk over this utility - that was ok - HFS volume verifed.
    * Then I restarted the computer and ran installation from this first CD
    What happened:
    * installation did not finish, because there were some problems during installation process.
    * i tried to customize installation just for essential work (without other languages support, printers etc), but it was still the same problem
    Installation log:
    After I choosed installation type, there was first error, but it did not look like important.. - root: bootstraplookup(): unknown error code

    It seems like a problem with reading some data from the CD, but during the installation checking of disk was ok.. maybe it can be problem with the cd-rom..? Or problem with data on cd-rom - I mean bad archive file..? But it is original CD.. What do you think??
    Thank you!

    Tomas,

  • 10.3 clean install hangs on "Base System Part 2"

    I just recently acquired a Power Macintosh G3 B&W revision 2 with a 400MHz PPC G3, pretty much bone stock except that I've upped the RAM to 448MB using some old pulls that I had lying around from previous iMac upgrades. The factory 8.6 install recognized the RAM, so I went ahead and ran the latest firmware updater from Apple. The updater said I was already running the latest firmware, so I proceeded with wiping the HD and preparing to install 10.3 from the retail install discs. I can repartition and erase the HD, choose that HD as the installation drive, and customize the install in order to remove things that I won't be needing/using like additional language translations and Internet Explorer. The installer hangs though almost immediately; it makes it through preparing "Base System Part 1" but hangs as soon as it begins preparing "Base System Part 2". I thought perhaps that the HD was in bad shape since it is 10 years old, so I pulled that drive and installed an extra 40GB Maxtor that I had lying around (I also have an extra 10GB WD if all else fails) with the exact same results. Everything seems to work fine except for the installer hanging. I was able to get a partially functional 9.1 install using my iBook's backup disc (which amazed me greatly considering that it shouldn't have worked at all), but seeing as how that disc was made for the iBook, the install is lacking quite a bit of functionality (can't update to 9.2 and then 9.2.2 for example); besides, I'd rather have OS X anyway. My long term goal is to install 10.3 and then update to 10.4 and eventually 10.4.11 (I have a lot of other hardware upgrades in mind, but I can't start in on those until I have the system booting into 10.3 first / not about to spend money until I have a working system ;] ).
    I've tried to be as specific as possible, but if I need to clarify anything, please let me know. As my details state, I also have an iBook FW SE happily running 10.4.11 and a MacBook White with the latest and greatest. I'm not very technically inclined, but I can handle even the most difficult of upgrades (that HD in my iBook was NOT easy to get to, but it sure was fun!). Any help is better than where I am right now. I'd really like to install directly onto the machine, but I do have the necessary hardware to install from my iBook to an external HD and then relocate that drive to the B&W.
    Message was edited by: SundanceCody

    Actually, this is in fact the revision 2 system with the "402" chip, which is why I was very excited to end up with this machine. From what I've been able to gather since this B&W found its new home with me, the whole B&W line was kind of flaky all around (with the non-402s being even more flaky).
    - Update - I used an external firewire enclosure to install 10.3 on the original 6GB drive courtesy of my iBook FW SE. I swapped the 6GB drive back in and removed the 40GB that I had been testing in there, so the system is stock except for the RAM, which I may try reducing to Panther's minimum tomorrow just to remove all variables. I get the Apple logo on the screen, but it immediately changes to the "circle with a line through it"; almost makes me think it's a firmware problem, but the updater indicated that the firmware was already up to date. I may also try to get 9.1 back on there again tomorrow and just double check the firmware again.
    Incidentally, is there an easy way of figuring out what firmware version the system is currently running without having an OS installed? I know on the iBook you can hold down [command]-[option]-[O]-[F] to get into open firmware, but I haven't tried it on this machine yet, nor do I know how to check the version number from there. I may end up putting in separate IDE card in the end, but I would much rather use the onboard; it would save a few bucks in the end, and for my purposes the performance penalty won't make much difference (i'm mostly setting it up as a backup computer right now for basic web-browsing and whatnot / nothing fancy right now, just the basics).
    Now after re-reading your post though, it occurs to me that I don't have a solid three-drive shelf :P. I have two plates (one toward the front of the system and one in the middle) meant to hold SCSI drives, and one two-drive bracket toward the rear of the machine designed to hold either a SCSI drive or up to two IDE drives (although the upper portion is a little too wide to actually mount an IDE drive appropriately). It does have the IDE controller chip marked as "402" and a manufacture date in LATE 1999. What gets me is that it hangs on the Panther install while running stock and won't boot into Panther even after it has been forced onto the stock hard drive.
    You do have me thinking though, which is certainly the first step to figuring it out. If I do end up having to put in a separate IDE controller, can the B&W boot from that? Probably a silly question I know, but from what I understand, it can't boot from a hard disk on it's secondary controller although it can boot from the optical drive there :P, which indicates to me a VERY finicky computer. lol

  • I received the following message while i was on my macbook air "you do not have enough space in your start up disk - you must delete some files"-restarted; only got startup noise then blank screen.  turned off tried to turn on no noise no screen load. thx

    i received the following message while i was on my macbook air "you do not have enough space in your start up disk - you must delete some files"-restarted; only got startup noise then blank screen. i waited for a few minutes to see if it would load - nothing just the lit up screen but nothing loaded - held power button it asked did i really want to turn off - i selected shutdown -turned off and left it off for awhile tried to turn on no noise no screen load. the same lit up screen but nothing loading.  please help thx in advance if anyone can offer some suggestions

    You can get there from here (booting normally); it just may take you a few steps to do it.
    If the disk is almost full and the system won't boot then sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Empty the trash after it boots.
    Then for hints on how to free disk/SSD storage see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0
    If the Safe Mode boot does not do the trick then you can install OS X on an external hard disk, boot from that, and then delete files.  You can also reach the disk via Target Mode.  A third option is to take it to an Apple store where they can do a network boot and help you remove some files.

  • I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    Hard drive full or near full:
    You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon  and empty the Trash.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Satellite L455D-S5976 no recovery utility

    I'm having a problem with a Satellite L455D-S5976 and the recovery utility.  I have tried the press zero while starting and get the "HDD recover mode" flash on the screen.  Then windows 7 starts.  I get the win7 startup animation then blank and the mouse pointer appears.  The hard drive has been blinking up until this point then stops and nothing else happens.  It just sits there. 
    I'm out of options. I don't know what to do now.  Anyone else have any thoughts.

  • Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 wont let me download

    I just got a new Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 yesterday, and I downloaded a couple of programs already, then I had trouble downloading a few:
    iTunes
    MapleStory
    Sony Vegas 8
    There's different problems with each program, But iTunes and Sony Vegas always run the same;
    They open, ask run or cancel, and when I press run, this window pops up.
    With Maplestory, it opens, extracts the file, THEN the same window pops up. I don`t know what I did. My brother has a Toshiba with Windows 7 too and it works perfectly fine for him.
    I`ve searched all day long, and nothing works. Running as administrator does nothing, it still happens. I would reformat or clear my hard drive, but I didn`t get a disk to reinstall Windows 7 onto my laptop.
    Any Solutions?

    Sony Vegas Pro 8 doesn't run under Windows 7 according to Sony.  Only version 9 runs under WIn 7 so that takes care of that.
    What version of iTunes? 
    Have you checked with Maplestory or Apple about what you need to run their software on WIndows 7?
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • AppleScript: System Events - delete

    I've been trying to get System Events delete command to accept multiple files and no matter how I try to preset the files to the delete command I get an error.
    According to the dictionary entry for System Events - delete it would appear it should take multiple files:
    delete v : Delete disk item(s).
    delete disk item : The disk item(s) to be deleted.
    This is what I have
    tell application "System Events"
              set ss to every disk item in desktop folder whose name contains "Screen Shot" and name extension is "png"
      delete ss
    end tell
    And this is the log window
    tell application "System Events"
      get every disk item of desktop folder whose name contains "Screen Shot" and name extension = "png"
      --> {file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.02 .png", file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.17 .png"}
      delete {file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.02 .png", file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.17 .png"}
      --> error number -1700 from {file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.02 .png", file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.17 .png"} to reference
    Result:
    error "System Events got an error: Can’t make {file \"Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.02 .png\", file \"Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.17 .png\"} into type reference." number -1700 from {file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.02 .png", file "Mac OS Lion:Users:frank:Desktop:Screen Shot 2013-03-22 at 14.31.17 .png"} to reference
    Now if I do
    delete item 1 of ss
    the file is deleted. Also if I do a repeat through the list I can delete each file.
    I've tried every which way I can thing of to play with the list to get multiple files to delete with no success. But I have to admit that file references still send me to the book to get it right.
    So what basic bit of AppleScript vodoo am I missing or is this one of those cases where the dictionary does not match the code?
    thanks

    The only way I've ever been able to get that to work is to do the delete immediately:
    tell application "System Events"
              delete (disk items of desktop folder whose name contains "Screen Shot" and name extension = "png")
    end tell
    it seems that when you store it into a variable, system events no longer accepts it.  The only reason I can think for this is that the scripting dictionary asks for a disk item rather than a list of disk items.  It's possible that editing the scriptSuite files to tell it to accept a list would solve the issue, but I've never experimented.

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

    I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
    at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
    Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
    I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • System Mail Delete Issue

    Each time I start Terminal I get the "You have mail." message. They are useless messages sent to me from MacScan, so I used to ignore them. I am done ignoring them and want to go in and delete them all. So, I run "mail" or "mailx" (both give me the same results) and then "d *". It doesn't give me an error, but when I "exit" mail and then go back in all the messages are still there. I continue to get the "You have mail." message whenever I start Terminal. I have tried all parameters for "d" including no parameters which should just delete the current message and still nothing. If I type "d <enter>" as many times as there are messages, then the next "d <enter>" will say, "No applicable messages" like it went through and deleted them all, but lo and behold, they are still there.
    Any thoughts? I have in the past gone through and found the actual messages on the system and deleted them that way, but I always forget where they are and am sick of hunting them down when it is completely unnecessary.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The 92x_64 directory will be created automatically once you run sapcar command.
    when you execute sapcar command from the current directory then the file and directory created in the SAR file will be created in the current directory. No need to create the directory manually before executing sapcar command.
    Thanks,
    Sudip.

  • Refresh of BW System without deleting the source system

    Hello experts
    I want to know, is it possible to refresh BW system without deleting the source system.
    That means I just do the renaming via BDLS and reconnect.
    If I do so, do I have a post refresh activities.
    According to OSS note 886102  and 184447, there are 3 scenarios:
    Scenario A: You want to copy the entire system infrastructure connected by the BW source system connections (that means the entire system group).
    Scenario B: You want to copy a single BW system of the group, the sourcesystem is not copied.
    Scenario C: You want to replace a single sourcesystem of a BW-system with another system using a database or client copy (Example: Refresh of the OLTP consolidation system by a copy of the OLTP production system). The BW system is not copied
    Assuming I use Scenario A, can I refresh BW system without deleting the source system.

    Hi:

    YOu are correct, you can refreh the BI system without deleting the source system.
    Thanks for any points you assign (after all, I wrote the paper!).

  • Why always failure at 45% of install of Base System Part 1?

    Ok I have had Panther run on my iMac several times only to have it screw up and destroy itself hence reinstallation. However no matter what configuration I pick of Panther, It always either freezes up or kernel panics at precisely 45% of installation of Base System Part 1. Sometimes I run the installer log as I do this to see just what makes it give up at 45% and it gives me a type 2 pax error but the files it claims give it the error are irrelevant to the install and weren't asked for, mainly files from the Dutch language folder even though I install only the english version of the system to save HD space and speed up the install pace. After every time it fails the install I erase the HD verify and repair a few times to see that its good, and it still almost always goes down at 45% though sometimes it will go as long as 65% or 75% before going under. After about a week of this at a stretch out of the blue it will take the entire install without complaint, and then last for about a week and a half sometimes 2 weeks before it ruins itself again. No, my HD isnt too old, its only 2 months old, I have a GB of RAM and at the heaviest of load it only takes about 25-30% of total available to run all my stuff. Yes, it is the full retail install version of Panther.

    Hello! The first thing that crosses my mind is the drive. You said it was about 2 mos old? When it was replaced was the jumper set correctly? I'm not real familiar with the imac setup. If the drive needed jumpering as master and if it's set to cable select all kinds of weired stuff can happen. Another thing to consider is a bad cd and lastly bad ram. If the ram is reading and writing incorrectly it will cause such behavior. I had a computer once that wouldn't complete an install from a known good cd and removing a problematic ram stick solved the problem. Tom
