Satellite L455D-S5976: 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.

  • 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.

    Have you tried <F8> instead? Power on the machine then press and hold the <F8> key until you "Repair Your Computer", hit <ENTER>. Hit <ENTER> to get past the two login screens and then you should see a menu. Click on "Command Prompt". At the command prompt type "diskpart". The following is non-destructive, At the diskpart command prompt type:
    "sel vol c" + <ENTER>
    if you do not receive an error
    "sel par 3" + <ENTER>
    if you do not receive an error
    "det par" + <ENTER>  WARNING: Do NOT type "DEL" it's "DET". Typing "DEL" will delete the HDD recovery partition!
    Check what it says for "Type : ?" If this is NOT 17, then type:
    "SET ID=17" + <ENTER>
    if you do not receive an error type:
    "exit" + <ENTER>
    "exit" + <ENTER>
    Now shutdown the machine and try the "0" key process again.
    If this IS 17, then type:
    "exit" + <ENTER>
    "exit" + <ENTER>
    Select "TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard" to launch the recovery process.
    I Tried all this and my type was 17 I finished and then shut down and restart and my screen is still black!! Help )

  • 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.

  • Satellite l455d-s5976

    I recently had to replace a bad hard drive in this machine, purchased the recovery disks from Toshiba. Installed the drive (WD 320 7200 rpm) and the software (WIN 7 home 32 bit) , software continually restarts with "configuring system", let this go for hours, now it comes up with a request for an administrator user name and password that I did not set and do not know what either would be. What am I doing wrong or how do I fix this? Any and all help is appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So far as I know, that drive should not give any trouble. See WD Scorpio Black.
    You should be able to restore to any (non-AFT) SATA drive whose size is larger than the image. Sorry, I don't know what the problem might be.
    See the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 69 of the User's Guide.

  • Satellite L455D-S5976 booting problems

    I turn on the computer and the toshiba start screen come on.
    save press f2 for setup and f12 for something else I can't remember right now
    then it goes to black with a blinking cursor on top corner.  Then that disappears and the screen goes blank.
    It doesn't go to the Windows 7 login screen.
    I NEED HELP!!!
    most of my school work is on there,
    it is very important

    most of my school work is on there,
    If the hard disk is still operational, it's time to rescue those files. Two ways.
    1. Create a bootable CD with another OS and tools on it. See, for example,  BartPE, Knoppix, UBCD4Win, and Ubuntu. Any of these will see a drive with the NTFS file system. Copy the files to a USB peripheral.
    2. Remove the hard drive and place it in an enclosure accessible from a desktop via USB.

  • How can I get a 64 bit recovery media for a Satellite L455D-S5976

      This machine came with a 32 bit processor along with a 32 bit operating system. Not long ago I upgraded the processor to a dual core AMD Turion 64x. I created recovery media, but it is a 32 bit version. I have an upgrade win 7 that I believe will do the trick but I would rather do it with the Toshiba recovery media. Anyone have a possible solution.

  • Satellite L455D-S5976 Errors

    This laptop is only about a month old.  Sometimes it starts up fine, but sometimes when I start up, after I enter my password, I get various errors.  They are never the same and sometimes it's just one, sometimes as many as 5 or 6. (Explorer has stopped responding, suchandsuch file is corrupt, suchand such is missing, etc)  I will then restart the laptop and let it chkdsk and sometimes its fine and sometimes it will start with the errors again.  This morning I had to run chkdsk 5 times before it started running correctly.  I can't figure out if this is a Windows 7 issue or a laptop/hard drive issue.  Is there a way to bring up logs from the chkdsk so I can see what the problems were? It is completely random.  At one point it was fine for about a week then started again.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Five months later it is still doing this.  I have used my recovery disks twice, and done everything I can possibly think of.  I guess tomorrow I will spend me day on the phone with Tech support, but I am fearful they wont be able to help since the erros are so random.  I have still yet to decide if its Windows or the laptop.  I do know whatever it is, its a piece of garbage and I hate it!

    So you are not able to access BIOS???
    Press F2 immediately (press it many times in the row) after notebook has been power on
    But if you are not able to access the BIOS, I assume that there is a serious problem with BIOS/hardware possibly something went wrong during the updatebut usually this should not happen and its sounds strange
    However, I think in such case just an ASP technician would help you.

  • L455D-S5976 Reformat to 64 bit

    I recently bought a new Toshiba laptop, so I am reformatting my L455D to give to my moher in law. I upgraded the ram last year to the max 8 gig, but because I was running 32 bit, it could not use it all. I am using my sys recovery discs to do a full reset, but I am not finding where I can have the option of installing a 64 bit version. Is there a way I can move up to the 64 bit so it will use all of the ram installed?

    I repied elsewhere. Here it is again.
    Satellite L455D-S5976
    Downloads here.
    You would need to install a retail copy of 64-bit Windows 7 and then install all of the drivers and utilities that make it work properly on this model. It's not a minor undertaking. And there is always the chance that you won't be able for one reason or another to get things working right. If you install 64-bit Windows Home Premium, you are entitled to activate it for free.
    32-bit Windows supports 4 of your 8 GB. Our computers here with several Office 2010 applications running rarely require more than 2 GB and never approach 3 GB.
    I feel certain your mother-in-law will do very nicely with 4 GB.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Toshiba L455d-S5976 cpu upgrade

     Ok im not sure why this isn't posting but one more tryMy wife has the Toshiba L455d-S5976. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to upgrade to a duel core? If not is there any possible upgrades at all? Thanx in advance 

    Hi. This l455d-S5976 toshiba satellite needs help readying for windows 10 instead of going in to a landfill.Had the RM-72 AMD Turion X2 put in Need to upgrade ram--the samsung 2gb memory stick purchased and returned back wouldn't boot together alongside the factory stick. Speculation: Is it because of the laptop being maxed out on 35 watts instead of sempron's 25 watts? It booted on either of those sticks just not together. Is there a need to get a special certain ram stick that couples well with the factory stick? Folks have been theorizing saying after the "upgrade", the laptop wont support dual channel (2 sticks) Many a blog on this subject has been skimmed.Should one throw out the factory ram stick and buy a 3 gb one (since win7 32bit only sees like 3 to 3.5 gb of ram and the computer wants only one ram slot filled)?
