Dismount and disconnect the drive

It is strongly recommended not to unplug the drive by just unplugging the

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 7).

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

A pop-up message box will appear listing the external devices

connected to your computer.

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.

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.

data against intended damage caused by virus or trojan programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to format my drive after installation?

A: No, as the drive is already formatted during the manufacturing process.

Q: Do I need USB drivers for Windows Vista, XP or Windows 7?

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.

User’s Manual EN-7

STOR.E BASICS 2.5"

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:

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 120GB (decimal) hard disk appears in Windows to have

just 112GB (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 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. If using Windows XP, make sure you have Service

Pack 1 or later.

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

Manager.

A: Follow these instructions:

1. Right-click “My Computer”.

You should see a list of available storage devices.

next.

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

9. Confirm to format the drive.
