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 )

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.

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?

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

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 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!

Satellite L455D-S5976 - blue screen after BIOS update

fan wasnt operating properly causing overheat so updated bios,
see here
[http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=67086&tstart=0]
and now i am blue screening (it flashes extremely quickly) just as the windows xp screen on booting appears. keeps doing over and over, please help.
*edit,*
incidentally as the bios started updating the fan immediately picked up speed. strange.

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.

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.

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.

Help toshiba recovery utility

satellite pro a 210 goes through ram disk setup and comes up to toshiba recovery utility and asks for machine model. i have tried many numbers and only get wrong machine. any ideas

It' s very easy to do it:
1. You should make a windows clean installation, install all the drivers and programs you like. It can be antivirus, download manager, video players. But I recommend to install the most necessary programs otherwise more space required.
2 Download and install ,, Acronis true Image,,. then, activate it, Google can help you how to do it.
3 Run Acronis, Click on Backup at left side panel. Then, click on Disk and Partition Backup, the new window appears ,,Backup wizard,,
where:
a ,,What to back up,, - Mark the Os partition located. In my case, it's C disk partition.
b ,,Archive Location,,- Browse where you want to store hdd backup, should be another partition for example D: partiton
c ,,Scheduling,, - choose, don't schedule
d ,,Back up method,, -Full
e ,,what to exclude,, Just ignore
f ,,Backup option,, you can choose a password protection,, and other options
Press ,,Proceed,, and it will start backing up, it takes about 10-15 minutes.
Now, you need to manage acronis secure zone. go to Tools and utilities and choose acronis secure zone.
in
a. ,,Free space selection,, - Mark NTFS C
b ,,Size,,- choose 250-300 mb space
Then, click on Finish and Proceed. it will proceed and then ask you to restart it. After restart it will perform ,,Partioning,, and restarts again.
In Tools and Utilities, choose Acronis startup recovery and press activate. So, on the laptop startup you just need to hit F11 to enter the Acronis recovery utility and follow all the instructions. In 10-15 minutes, you will get the new installed system.

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)?

HT4718 If I Restore My Mid-2009 MacBook Pro using Recovery Utility, will iLife be installed?

I'm selling my MacBook Pro and I'm going to use Recovery Utility to restore it. It is running OS X Mountain Lion. After I re-install OS X will iLife be on the machine? The person I'm selling it to needed that on there.

If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to use them to install the default OS X that came with the Mac. Mountain Lion is registered to your Apple ID and the owner won't be able to reinstall it if you give the computer with Mountain Lion.
After you erase the hard disk and install OS X, iLife won't be installed, so the owner has to use the Applications disc that came with the computer to install iLife. Finally, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version

Qosmio F50 - Recovery Utility needed

Hello guys, somehow I uninstalled the Recovery Utility Tool from Program files.
And I am unable to find it again to download it. I have the recovery HDD on my HDD and I just need the utility for my Qosmio F50.
Is there a link were I can find it?

Hi
Im not sure what you are talking about
As far as I know the recovery can be started pressing the F8 button (while notebook powering up) then choosing the Repair My Computer and then choosing Toshiba HDD recovery.
On your notebook you can find the Toshiba recovery disk creator. This is a burning software which allows you to create a own recovery DVD.
If you mean the Toshiba recovery disk creator then I have to say that its not possible to download this tool.
Recover the unit using HDD recovery procedure and then you could create the Recovery DVD again.
