PX1394U - 3 50 USB HDD cannot be accepted

I bought this drive yesterday: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=EU&selCategory=4699&o ldCategory = 4699 & OPTION_ID = 129212

He seemed okay, but none of my pc (a toshiba laptop and my pc destkop) recognize the hard drive. It seems that no driver had been installed on it.

Can someone help me?
I have been desperate to try to install Vista on it, in the installation mode he did recognize the hard drive, but said that it was not possible to install Vista via Usb 2.0

Kind regards
Roger

Hello

May I ask what OS runs on the laptop?
Have you tried to use the USB HDD with Vista or XP?

With regard to the installation of Vista via USB to external HARD disk.
I didn't try to install Vista or XP via USB but I assume that's not possible.
I think the windows only recognizes the hard drives connected to the internal HARD disk controller.

In my opinion it s is not possible!

  • External USB HDD PX1269E - 1 50 cannot be recognized on computer

    Hello

    I recently bought an external hard drive, Toshiba 500 GB external USB Hard Drive PX1269E - 1 50 I want to use it on my Pentium 4 3.6 ghz memory 1 GB 400 GB internal hard drive and motherboard ASUS P4P800.
    I installed Windows XP Profesional SP2 on this PC.

    We have 4 pc at home and he answered on any of this.
    The next problem is that after I pluged in the USB 2.0 conector, nothing happens? In the close computer store, I asked the seller to try it on one of their computers and the seller pluged it in one of the laptops and my external hard drive has responded immediately!

    After the test to the computer store, we have purchased a pci usb 2.0 card because we thought it was the problem of usb, but after installation of the usb hard drive adapter has failed, either.

    What could be the problem?

    Hello

    The dealer has tested the HARD drive and it worked.
    It seems the exterior works of HARD drive and can be recognized on the computer.

    In my opinion it s is not a HARD drive problem. For the most part this external HARD drive needs more power that can provide a USB port. My brother uses external USB HDD and it was delivered with a cable from USB 2. His HARD drive must be connected to the 2 USB ports on the laptop.

    I think that if you have a single USB plug cable, so you should use an external power supply for the HARD drive or try to connect it to the USB hub with external power supply.

    Maybe it will work

  • Tecra M3: Plans to support USB HDD Boot?

    I have a Tecra M3 (~ 6 months) and was very very surprised to see that the M3 does not support boot from USB hard drive.

    I tried to install Windows Vista and Linux etc on my external hard drive and cannot due to lack of BIOS support.

    Any plans to support such a feature? Or any workaround? I really wish that any solution does not affect my existing laptop internal HDD (on which I'm short of space from the point of view even when OS install).

    Krish-

    Hello

    The fact is that it is not possible to boot from the external USB HDD on almost all Toshiba laptops. I guess you can't boot from the drive external HARD because of the BIOS.
    You can start the LAN and USB-drive floppy/disk HARD/ODD

  • Satellite R10-101: 300 GB USB HDD does "jump up" automatically

    Hello

    I have a Satellite R10 - 101 Tablet PC.

    I wanted to back up my hard drive by copying an image of my entire hard drive on an external USB hard drive.

    I got a 300 GB hard drive on a Windows XP SP2 desktop machine, mounted the drive in a USB2 enclosure and the player properly connected to my laptop.

    However, whenever I connect drive USB2 HARD it does not 'jump' automatically and whenever I want to access it I have to go to disk management and to reactivate (it always seems offline).

    I have no problem with my Ipod 60 GB (with video), or with usb flash drives.

    I unchecked the box in System/Device Manager / USB Root Hub that says allow windows to turning the unit off. I also tried to reassign the drive letter of the USB2 HARD drive but still no luck.

    In addition, when you boot the pc with Acronic True Image to backup my HARD drive embedded it does not recognize the USB HDD...

    I have the latest BIOS and all windows updates, my laptop supports these external hard drives type of?

    I can try to make it work automatically (e.g. be visible like a F:\ for example when it is plugged into the usb port)?

    To make it more interesting, I have the problem on both Satellite R10-101 models which I admit, but my other laptop computer dell Latitude 4 years ago recognize the USB2 HARD drive automatically, please help!

    OK, thanks for the Nice info.

  • External USB HDD 320GB 10 error code

    Hi im having trouble with my 320 GB external hard drive I bought about 2 months ago and has worked very well to the top and up to now, where it seems to want a driver who I was not provided with the hard drive because it is plug-and-play and does not connect to my computer just returns the error code 10 on all my computers can someone help me find this driver or help me with this problem out as I noticed many people seem to happen with the 250 GB and 320 GB hard drives at the moment?

    Hello

    You suggested that this drive worked properly.
    One question; have you used the option to remove USB device?

    Sometimes the USB could not recognize the USB device because the device was removed without using this option.

    Maybe this will help: go to Device Manager and remove the USB ports. After restart of the operating system to reinstall the USB ports. Then check if the USB HDD works.

  • Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

    Hello world

    Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

    I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

    (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
    (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
    (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
    (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
    (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
    (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

    I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
    and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
    When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

    Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.

  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

    Connect the HARD drive before you turn on your laptop. Then turn on your notebook and press F12 to access the start menu.

    The USB HDD is listed? Can choose you?
