Safety Instructions
In order to avoid malfunction or damage of the drive, please carefully follow the precautions listed below.
WARNING
Make sure that you backup all your data on the drive, as Toshiba is not responsible for data corruption or data loss. Toshiba will not cover any data recovery cost.
Do not
open the enclosure or drive
disassemble the drive or parts of it
place liquids near or on the drive, as it may damage the drive, cause personal injury or may result in an electrical shock or fire
■ bump, drop or jar the drive
move the drive while operating, as data damage may happen
use other connectors than USB bus powered types
use other AC/DC adaptors than the one bundled with your drive,as otherwise your drive may be damaged
■ disconnect cables while operating. Please dismount the drive first!
expose the drive to temperatures outside the range of 5^ - 35^ while operating, and temperatures of -20^ - 60^ while switched off
expose the drive to wet or damp conditions
cover the drive during operation, as it may become overheated
place the drive close to hot appliances
And
make sure that the connectors will be inserted correctly

check the polarity before connecting
- Immediately disconnect the drive from the power outlet and the host PC if
■ smoke or an unusual smell is coming from the drive enclosure
water has entered the drive enclosure or if it becomes wet
an object has entered the drive enclosure
the cable has been damaged (in such case replace the cable with a new one)
NOTE
The power switch does not disconnect the AC adaptor from the electricity network, but just switches off the drive itself.
We therefore recommend that you disconnect the AC/DC adaptor from the power outlet if the drive may not be used for a while in order to save energy.
If the drive behaves not as expected or you have doubts about the electrical safety, please contact the TOSHIBA hotline or an authorised reseller immediately!

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 or Windows 7?
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: Yes, Toshiba offers a Data Recovery Service for external hard drives. Please check our website www.toshiba-europe.com/services for further information about this service.
Troubleshooting
My computer does not recognize the disk drive at all.
Make sure all of your connections are secure.
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."
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 "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 the right hand box and select "Delete Partition" in the pop-up menu.
- Right-click the box and 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.
