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.

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.
