Further Advise

For any further action of normal operation such as renaming the drive,

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.

User’s Manual EN-7

Troubleshooting

My computer does not recognize the disk drive at all.

QMake sure all of your connections are secure.

QIf your drive is connected via a USB hub, make sure that it has its own

power supply.

QIf 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.

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.

When you format the drive all the data on your drive will be deleted.

One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes and one Terabyte

(1TB) means 1012 =1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A

computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using

powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 =1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB =

240 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity.

Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will

vary based on file size, formatting, setting, software and operating system

and other factors.
