Further Advise

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

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: The drive is already formatted in NTFS file system by the manufacturer.

For use with MS Windows® PC, no additional formatting is required.

For full compatibility with Mac operating systems, the NTFS driver has

to be installed.

Formatting a hard drive will delete all data stored on it. We advise to make

a backup copy before proceeding with the formatting process.

NOTE

User’s Manual EN-7

CANVIO FOR DESKTOP

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

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:

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.

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.

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.
