Toshiba SatelliteL455-S5976 Blk screen on boot with mouse cursor help

[gregrocker]

You had to stop the install to check the disk, correct? So it would need to be started over unless it wants to resume (which I doubt).

 

[BadCompany]

When I go to load windows normally knowing the error was there it said error, reboot to resume installation. I think its probably best to just reinstall everything.

 

[BadCompany]

Went to and finished the scan and then went to install and it errorer far earlier and faster than it did before, didn't say much but rebooted b4 i could write down code.

 

[gregrocker]

You most likely have a bad HD. Disk Check found multiple problems which have not been resolved to allow the install to complete.

The next course of action is to FINALLY run the test which would have cleared all of this up to begin with, the HD maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan. This is the only way to know the condition of the HD for sure.

If you boot Seatools CD scan it should give you a good idea, but also it should tell you the HD make or model you can google to get the make. Then you can run the actual maker's diagnostics.

 

[BadCompany]

Ran check disk again and now its basically all errors, so many i couldn't even keep track, the screen is rolling with correcting errors like the matrix lol

 

[BadCompany]

found it, will burn it to iso after all this and check for errors again. thanks.

 

[gregrocker]

Well then there's likely no need to run the diagnostics except to confirm the HD is going bad.

I would replace the HD and then run the Clean Reinstall again.

can you find me a direct link to the download for the iso for seatools? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for the video man. I'm sitting at 47% disk can and fix right now. Waiting for now for that then i'm going to pull the HD to check out the brand so i can get a extended repair tool. Do you think the sea gate will work with any hd or does it have to be a designated one?

 

[gregrocker]

Would you please translate this?

I've said at least a half dozen times what's required to diagnose the HD.

Even if it repairs it's not to be trusted again so I would proceed with replacing it. You can take it to a parts desk at a store like MicroCenter, Tiger Direct or CompUSA, otherwise you may need to spec it or find compatible via the internet. I linked you some options.

I mean that the chkdsk is sitting at 47% completion right now. I will pull my hd when its done and check the brand to see if I can get a additional extended scan tool for it to be sure its the hd thats bad. Its just funny within a day of using that performance program it did this all. I just moved so waiting for a job first, otherwise its just a pc for facebook/etc. Nothing important on it if it crashes again.

I think your Windows Explorer is disabled by ASC through Registry Fix .

If I am wrong disregard my comment .

 

[BadCompany]

I ran disk check again and it fixed a ton of stuff, rebooted ran it a 2nd time and it was totally clean. Now installing windowns and now get a different error code. Error code: 0x8007045D. Is it possible the cd iso burn didn't burn properly. 2nd question would it matter if I try to install win 7 home premium or win 7 ultimate? would the 2 be any different and cause this to happen?

 

[gregrocker]

The error is a disk read error which can be either the DVD or more likely the HDD.

Confirm the ISO and burn another DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed. Then write the ISO to flash stick using UltraISO Software To Create Bootable USB Flash Drive to see how it compares.

What did the HD diagnostics report? I have asked you to run this nearly a dozen times now and you do everything but. Can you focus long enough to see that it gets done no matter what it takes because it's all that really matters right now.

If you cannot figure out your HD brand then Seatools will tell you the brand of a model number you can google which will tell you the brand.

 

[BadCompany]

I don't have a usb flash drive. All my test say the hard drive has failed. I can't even hear it wind up or anything. Its dead silent all the time, and everything takes forever to do. So i'm guessing this confirms the hard drive has failed. It has a Hitachi HD as well. Hoping I can find one cheap. The website link you gave me, they don't have one with the exact one I need, so going to do some more online checking.
thanks

This test can confirm the HD condition now that you know the make: http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFThttps://www1.hgst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

You can try to find a replacement that fits, or you can try googling the exact model to see if a good deal comes up via Amazon or eBay for exact replacement. You have to be cautious with eBay but I often replace parts like chargers and battery for dirt cheap.

As I said earlier the best option is if you have parts counter at CompUSA, TigerDirect or MicroCenter to take it to and try the part on the spot, or be able to return it easily.

I ran it and when it was loading scsi devices it said failure, not sure if that was applying to other hd's of different types or brands, but said errors were found and its now whiping the hd again. Then I plan on rebooting and searching again for errors and if non then will try reinstalling win 7. Kinda thinking the HD went bye bye.

 

[gregrocker]

The HDFT is quite good so I would believe it's findings, especially if as you said you have an Hitachi HD.

I have had it repair a HD which is still working after 3 years use. But this is an exception.
