GETTING STArTED
The drive at a glance
Power/Data indicator (lights up when the drive is powered on or during data access)

USB 2.0 port (by connecting the USB cable the drive is powered-on and data can be easily transferred)
INSTALLING ThE drlvE
Some information about bus-powered operation and the supplied USB cable:
- Your drive is bus-powered. Therefore, there is no need to connect an external power supply as all needed current will be supplied by the connected USB port(s).
- Typically, connecting only one USB port is sufficient. However, in some cases you may need to connect two ports with the bundled cable as your host system may not supply sufficient power per connected USB port. (To find out more on how to connect the drive correctly, please refer to the details described on the following page).
Passive USB hubs or USB connectors like keyboards, mice or similar products cannot be used or connected to the drive. - Make sure that the connectors will be inserted correctly.
- Never use pressure for connecting the cables. Check the polarity before connecting!
- CONNECTING The drive to your Computer

Primary USB type A connector (plug into your computer)
Secondary USB type A connector (plug into a second USB port, if needed)
- With your computer powered on and fully booted up, plug the primary USB type A connector into a USB port of your host system, or an active USB HUB.
For the time being, don't connect the secondary type A connector.
If it is needed, it will be determined after step 2.
- Now, plug in the mini-USB connector into the corresponding port of the drive itself.
Immediately,
the Power/Data indicator light will illuminate
- the drive will power up
- the drive should mount and a new drive icon should appear in "My Computer"
In case the drive does not mount after a few seconds,
it may not have sufficient power. Although the Power/Data light is illuminated, you need use the secondary type A connector.
Please follow the below instructions:
- Unplug the mini-USB connector from the drive.
- Plug in the secondary type A connector into a free USB port of the host system or active USB hub.
- Plug the mini-USB connector back into the drive again. The drive should be mounted correctly after a few seconds.
DISMOUNT AND DISCONNECT The drive
It is strongly recommended not to unplug the drive by just unplugging the cable connection as it may be that data is written to the drive at that time.
Such data will be lost and the drive may be damaged physically!
Please follow the steps below for a safe dismount of the drive:
- Click the "Safely Remove - icon"
A pop-up message box will appear listing the external devices connected to your computer. - Select the TOSHIBA drive.
After a few seconds, you will get the notification that it is now safe to remove the device. - Click "OK" and you can unplug the drive now.
Cleaning the drive case / enclosure
Before cleaning the drive, make sure that it's physically disconnected from the computer. We suggest to use standard products for cleaning it and to make sure that possible remaining liquid on the surface will be wiped off.
FUrThEr AdvISE
For any further action of normal operation such as renaming the drive, backup data, or file management, we suggest to read your operation system user's manual.
Also for maintenance tasks such as defragmenting and optimisation we suggest to refer to the operating system user's manual.
We also strongly suggest having anti-virus software installed to protect your data against intended damage caused by virus or Trojan programs.
FrEQUENTly ASkEd QUESTIONS
Q: Do I need to format my drive after installation?
A: No, as the drive is already formatted during the manufacturing process
Q: Do I need USB drivers for Windows Vista, XP?
A: No, they are already available with your operating system.
Q: Can I boot my system from the drive?
A: No, because Windows does not support booting from external hard disk drives.
Q: Why doesn't the drive need a fan?
A: The drives are designed to have optimal heat dissipation, and therefore no fan is required. This results in a near silent operation.
Q: Why is the capacity of my drive (as shown in Windows) lower than the drives actual stated capacity?
A: This difference can be explained because of the different methods of calculating the capacity. Hard drive manufacturers calculate on the decimal system, while the operating system calculates in the binary system.
Example decimal:
1GB = 1.000MB = 1.000.000KB = 1.000.000.000 bytes
Example binary:
1GB = 1.024MB = 1.048.576KB = 1.073.741.824 bytes.
As a result, a 120GB (decimal) hard disk appears in Windows to have just 112GB (binary)
Q: Can I use my drive to copy an operating system from one computer to another?
A: No, you must follow the operating system supplier instructions for installation. A simple copy does not work.
Q: Does Toshiba offer a data recovery services?
A: No, Toshiba does not provide such data recovery services.
TrOUBLESHOOTING
My computer does not recognize the disk drive at all.
Make sure all of your connections are secure.
- Check if connecting the secondary USB connector may solve the problem; see "Installing the Drive".
If your drive is connected via a USB hub, make sure that it has its own power supply.
- If using an add-on card, make sure it is working properly and update the software/firmware. If using Windows XP make sure you have Service Pack 1 or later.
Is it dangerous if the drive feels warm whilst in operation?
A: This is normal, and therefore not dangerous.
The drive gives me a "Device cannot start. Code (10)."
A: Two possible reasons. It is either a power problem and you should check the connections, or the drive has a malfunction and requires service.
I cannot see my drive in "My Computer", but it does appear in the Device Manager.
A: Follow these instructions:
- Right click on "My Computer".
-
Select "Manage" in the pop-up menu.
-
Select "Disk Management". You should see a list of available storage devices.
-
Check, whether your drive is listed.
-
Right click on the right hand box and select "Delete Partition" in the pop-up menu.
-
Right click on the box ad select "Create New Partition" in the pop-up menu.
-
Then select "Primary Partition" in the partition wizard window. Click next.
-
A drive letter will be displayed, which you can change. Click next.
-
Confirm to format the drive.
As I try to format the drive, I receive the message "Could not complete format".
A: This can be caused by formatting the drive with FAT file system. Try "NTFS" file system. This should solve the problem.
The drive seems to be operating slower than 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 specification).
A: Make sure that you are using a USB 2.0 port, and not the old V1.1 standard. There are some possibilities, like available CPU resources, other connected USB devices at the same time which may cause some slower operation than the ideal 480Mbps/s.
