Frequently Asked Questions - Canvio Desk TOSHIBA

Do I need to format my drive after installation?
The drive is preformatted in NTFS for Windows. No additional formatting is required under Windows. For Mac, you need to reformat to HFS+ (this erases all data).
Do I need to install specific USB drivers for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1?
No, the operating system includes all necessary drivers.
Can I boot my computer from the external hard drive?
No, Windows does not support booting from external hard drives.
Why does the hard drive not have a fan?
Toshiba hard drives are designed to optimize heat dissipation without a fan, allowing for nearly silent operation.
Why is the capacity displayed in Windows lower than the actual advertised capacity?
This is due to a difference in calculation: manufacturers use decimal system (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) while Windows uses binary system (1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). For example, a 120 GB (decimal) drive appears as 112 GB (binary).
Can I use the drive to copy an operating system from one computer to another?
No, you must follow the operating system vendor's instructions for installation. A simple copy is not sufficient.
Does Toshiba offer a data recovery service?
Yes, Toshiba offers a data recovery service for external hard drives. Visit www.toshiba-europe.com/services for more details.
How do I clean the hard drive casing?
Ensure the drive is disconnected from the computer and power supply. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with a standard cleaning product. Wipe thoroughly to remove any traces of liquid.
What should I do if my computer does not recognize the hard drive?
Check USB and power connections. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted. If using an expansion card, update its drivers. Check Device Manager to see if the drive appears in 'Disk Management'.
How do I safely disconnect the hard drive?
On Windows, click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the taskbar, select the Toshiba drive, and wait for the confirmation message before unplugging the USB cable.
