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).

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!

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.

< Windows PC >

1. Click the “Hardware and Eject Media – icon”.

A pop-up message box will appear listing the external devices connected to your computer.

2. Select the TOSHIBA drive to eject.

After a few seconds, you will get the notification that it is now safe to remove the device.

3. Click “OK” and you can unplug the drive now.

< Mac >

Ctrl-click on the hard disk icon and choose “Eject”.

Drag the hard disk icon to the trashcan.

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 USB drivers for Windows?

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 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:

1TB = 1,000GB

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 1TB (decimal) hard disk appears in Windows to have just 931GB (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.

Troubleshooting

My computer does not recognize the disk drive at all.

Make sure all of your connections are secure.

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.

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.

User’s Manual - CANVIO ADVANCE EN_7

I cannot see my drive in “My Computer”, but it does appear in the Device Manager.

A: Follow these instructions:

1. Right-click “My Computer”.

2. Select “Manage” in the pop-up menu.

3. Select “Disk Management”.

You should see a list of available storage devices.

4. Check whether your drive is listed.

5. Right-click the right hand box and select “Delete Partition” in the pop-up menu.

6. Right-click the box and select “Create New Partition” in the pop-up menu.

7. Then select “Primary Partition” in the partition wizard window. Click next.

8. A drive letter will be displayed, which you can change. Click next.

9. 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.
