Satellite L655D-S5050 - cannot install Win 8 due to lack of driver SATA HDD

Hello!

I would like to reinstall the operating system on my laptop.

I've never had problems with this before. I am trying to install Windows 8.
And the problem is that it asks me the HARD disk driver.
First of all, I changed in the BIOS in compatibility mode.
And that did not help.

Then I downloaded the drivers for my laptop chipset on the Internet, but it did not help.
Then I thought it might be a problem with the HARD drive. So I formatted completely. But it did not help either.

Where can be a problem? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you!

Hello

I think that the Satellite L655D - S5050 (PSK2LU) supports graphics AMD (ATI) and chipset.
This means that the ATI driver package contain the SATA driver files.
I found the driver on the Toshiba page here we [Satellite L655D-S5055 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2711088& rpn = PSK2LU & modelFilter = L655D-S5055 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663]

By the way: why n t make a Win 7 to 8 upgrade as described here:

  • Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 SCCM 2012 R2 environment

    Hi all

    Series laptops Z Sattelite impossible to install OS (win 8.1) of our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.

    No installation or pxe boot interrupted error is shown.
    The environment is used in order to correctly install the operating system (win 8.1) on various other seller computers (dell) and the VMS (hyper-v and vmware).

    I tried boot UEFI and CMS options and tried to turn off the secure boot. Please advice.

    Also, I read on the 'package to install SCCM for Toshiba. This will help in my situation or it's just the driver for SCCM packages?

    Best regards, Evgeny.

    I assume you mean on this package from Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/

    I put t have much experience using this drive package SCCM, but it is certainly compatible with professional Toshiba laptops. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the range of the company, and I think that the package must be compatible.
    This package seems to be for all administrators that manage devices on the network of business with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new SCCM Toshiba package a solution to integrate other laptop to an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all the Driver from Toshiba and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.

    However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]

    By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in which case the UEFI BIOS is available). But the start of another external source requires the secure boot disabled option.
    Then maybe you should use the UEFI mode but must clear the safe boot option to boot from LAN.

  • Satellite A660 - cannot install Win 7 using the external DVD drive

    Hello!

    Not so long I asked help to reinstall win 7 on my laptop.
    The only option was actually in the restoration of order dvd what I did. Today, it has arrived.

    Problem is, or was that some of the CD or the DVD couldn't be read for some reason any.

    Now it won't boot from the cd, it says faulty hard drives.

    So what I did I have pluged my detached external DVD drive and it started from that.

    But just after a few seconds, she told me to '1 support recovery' and open the drive in the laptop. Tried to insert the disc - nothing, like its not inserted, tried to disable computers portable cd - nothing please help

    Hello

    You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
    Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
    Press F12.

    Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

    In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

  • Satellite L300-1DN - cannot retrieve serial number due to lack

    Hello

    A friend ask me to format the laptop.
    I am not able to get into windows vista.
    I tried to use the partition recovery without success and I did not pick up the dvd.

    So I decided to format windows Vista, but the serial number under the laptop has been cleared...
    I find the serial number also?

    Thank you
    Steve

    Hello

    The serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unusable device in relation to other Windows Vista!
    The key belongs to the preinstalled version of Vista OEM!

    The laptop has been pre-installed with Vista and the Vista has already been activated! Therefore, a key is not required!
    In addition, there is a pre-installed tool called creator Toshiba recovery disc. This tool lets you create a clean recovery disk!
    I guess you friend of mine didn't know it and didn't create a recovery disk
    It was a big mistake!

    In any case, you can order a disk recovery from here:

    ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

    Thank you

    Hello

    Message PXE is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
    Why? Because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
    Why LAN?
    Because other bootable devices have not been found.

    I would recommend so check the first page of the BIOS. If the HARD drive is not listed, this means that the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced.

    Hello Paul

    I can't tell what the problem is here, but you should be able to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery disks created. Please try again after these steps:
    Several departures from the F12 key for laptop and press
    Menu of start-up must be indicated on the screen
    Put the recovery disc number 1 into the optical disc drive
    On the list, select the CD/DVD drive with the arrow keys and press ENTER

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB0E - cannot install Vista and Win XP

    Hello

    I have a L300, model number PSLB0E sat. \
    It was originally loaded with vista home premium, but it starts now not at all.
    I made a disc of vista Home premium and the number to go with it, but it gets as far as "windows installation" but then it stops.

    I tried to new hard drive, same loading XP pro not working!
    I think it's Bios, but after the download from Toshiba on this PC and transfer it to a memory stick, my laptop can't see it?

    Please can someone point me in the right direction?

    A big thank you in advance Paul

    Hi mate

    Please check in the BIOS if the disc is visible.
    If so, then set compatible SATA to AHCI mode and then try to boot from the Vista or Win XP disc.

    But if the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and so you cannot install the operating system.

    Check it!

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 with Windows Vista Home Premium, but XP works better for me and I would go back to XP Pro NL.

    Yesterday, I started booting from the XP CD, but at the start of the installation windows say "we cannot find a hard disk.

    With google I found the laptop A200 may have a SATA HDD, en must have a driver for my laptop, so can Windows XP Pro began installation.

    But where can I find the drivers?

    The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    This storage manager can be downloaded from the European of Toshiba driver page or from the page clean s from Intel.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

    Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

    It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

    FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
    I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
    I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
    I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
    I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
    I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
    I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

    If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

    In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

  • Retrieve Satellite C850-F12S - currently installed Win 8.1

    Hello!

    now, I installed Win 8.1 and I want to restore it to its original state to Win 7 Starter but don't know how to do, I bought my C850-F12S Satellite with Win 7 Starter.

    I not create recovery image so m lost on how to get it back.

    Someone help me please

    If you have not created the means of recovery in the past, then you will not be able to recover the laptop.

    The disk HARD recovery isn't possible because the HARD drive recovery partition has been eliminated during the installation of Win 8.1.

    You have only one option to do: you must order this recovery disk:
