Rename the Toshiba Canvio 2 TB

I'm on a Toshiba Canvio external HARD drive 2 TB on my router (Fritz! Box 7490) as a NAS drive.
Unfortunately the disc always presents itself as "TOSHIBA-ExternalUSB3-0-01" in the navigation tree.

So far, I have not found a way to rename the device for example 'media '.

Could someone tell me please how to do this.

Simple change of name in Windows Explorer does not work. Must have something to with a disc HARD name provided / delivered by Toshiba.

Thank you for your support.

Hello

The renaming of the option that is available and provided by the Windows Explorer is not to rename the external HARD drive, but the storage name will be changed only in Windows Explorer.

To be honest I don't very well if you can change the HARD drive name that appears in the menu of the fritz m box.
However, perhaps you could try to use the clean or clean all commands on a selected disk to remove all its partitions, MBR or GPT volumes and any information hidden on disk MBR sector.

But use it at your own risk!

  • Data storage 3.5 "Toshiba Canvio problem with permanent fade.

    Since I started using the Toshiba Canvio 3 TB 3.5 "external data storige disc he found himself a strange faul which makes it difficult to use.

    Data storage, for example when I use it to watch a video file off and then it start immediately again to go back... It can happen to the breast of a movie 20 times and it is very annoying because you never know when the judgment will happen...

    How to fix this please?

    Hello

    In my opinion it is not very easy to say why the external HARD disk automatically turns off while watching a movie. But this issue does not seem that there might be something wrong with the settings or software.
    Of course, some tools are available and installed on the HARD drive as the NTI Backup Now EZ software but I n t think that this could affect the playback of the movie. However, this software supports and automatic backup function and you can change how often your backup intervenes (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). So try to disable this setting for testing purposes.

    Fact is that this 3.5 HARD drive must be connected to a power adapter and HARD drive supports the USB 3.0 interface but it s backward compatible with USB 2.0.

    I put t know what are the USB ports you have used for the connection of HARD drive, but I recommend you test all the USB ports taken in charge by the PC.

    Last but not least, it could be possible that there is a hardware problem simple HARD drive

  • Toshiba Canvio Stor.E 1 TB 2.5 "great copy hangin out after a few minutes

    Hello

    I just bought the Toshiba 2.5 "Stor.E Canvio 1 TB on a Windows 7 Thoshiba laptop.
    Whenever I do a great copy, after a few minutes, the copy blocks.

    The process explore hangs, it cannot be killed and the only solution is to disconnect the usb port and plug it back.

    How would I fix this?

    Thank you
    Alex

    Hello

    Theoretically, it could be a HARD drive problem.
    Would be interesting to know if the other HARD drive does the same thing

    However Stor.E Canvio is a HARD USB 3.0 drive and it takes min 900mA to operate correctly.
    It might be possible that not enough power provided by the USB port.
    You can try to plug an external USB hub between the laptop and the HARD drive to verify functionality.

    It worked fine, but not now.
    My OS is win xp, sp3, home ed.

    The Toshiba drive is more steady and is almost impossible to work with now. I checked with Device Manager that says the drive is working correctly.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, cleaned and Defrag the disk (when I was able to access) but it works still very badly now!

    What else can I do to find out what is the problem with this Toshiba drive and return it works reliably?

    Thank you

    Since then the name of disc that I put in the properties is not recognized, and even though I have the rename, the only label that keeps returning under explore is "Toshiba USB - HDD".

    It is not a big problem because the drive is still working properly, but for a purchase up, it's pretty boring.

    Thanks for your help and advice

    Each HARD disk belongs to "wear".
    What does that mean? Well, sooner or later each HARD drive is going to die... and in most cases, these questions appear suddenly and are surprising.

    This HARD drive is a device of simple plug ' n play... This means that you have to connect it to the USB port and it should work...
    If this is not the case, the unit may malfunction and usually it is not repairable.

  • Toshiba Canvio fail to mount after a month

    Hi guys,.

    I have Toshiba Canvio 3T (HDWC130EK3J1) and it worked fine for a month. Now, it will fail to mount.

    I read on some forums that it could be a power issue. I have USB 2.0 and perhaps need a "cable Toshiba y." I do not understand if I was using just a week just why I would need a cable in 'Y' now HARD drive.

    I have not any other computer with USB 3.0 to check if it's the power-hungry drive is the "real problem".

    I have iMac
    Mac OS X 10.9.5

    Any help or ideas?

    Thank you!

    I forgot to add...

    Toshiba CANVIO does not appear in the disk utility... at all. Not on the desktop, or utility disk. Many worked yesterday, displayed on the desktop with the other two drives ext...

    I've tried different USB ports too. I can hear the disc running when it is plugged into my Mac. The light is too much but does not appear.

    I read the Toshiba site we on this product and I have TONS of bad reviews... many people call a reminder. Very disappointed to read of a supposed good Toshiba brand.

  • Toshiba Canvio 3TO HDD - does it support Win XP

    I'm looking for clarification of a new Toshiba Canvio external (3.5 in.) 3 hard to office, I bought Saturday in Zurich.
    I see on the area (under the heading - operating systems) new systems are listed. The only not listed is Windows XP.

    Yes, I know, that as April last Microsoft does support more XP, but as a supporter of the tech, I am also aware - through various publications of the computer industry, tech support Web sites and newsletters online (at least) that all over the world, probably more than a third or more of the computers use even the XP operating system.

    As I support technician private (which most cover newer systems) I have (since last spring) 30 + people I support who have decided
    stay with XP for a while. (I intend to support all the of them until my retirement at the end of this year).

    The last external Toshiba I bought (back up their data - last summer - listed for XP on the side of the box. A new does not list it. My question is, of course, (before I open the new Toshiba box) hardware will work fine with XP.

    I fully understand that their corporate point of view no matter what manufacturer of HD would not care claim no responsibility for the data via an operating system supported 'more '. And I quite accept it... and this responsibility for data.
    And I guess, basically, that's WHY a company would prepare the list is no longer an abandoned operating system.

    But I just wanted to ask (as mentioned above) if someone could give me a tip as to if this new WILLINGNESS of HD work with data on a XP computer.

    Thank you, in advance, for any info or advice...

    http://www.Toshiba.com/us/accessorie...k/HDWC130XK3J1

    As noted on the page Toshiba; It is a plug ' n play HDD and Win XP is supported.
    This means you don't need drivers in order to use this HARD drive... so I wonder why this HARD drive should NOT work under Win XP computer...

    You are right; Microsoft ended in own support of Win XP but in my opinion there is nothing to do with the use of this HARD drive...

  • Toshiba Canvio single 2 TB external hard drives

    I purchased 2 Toshiba Canvio Simple 2 TB external hard drives (there is a 2 weeks and last week one - same products). I found a disk hard fact "beep" sound sometimes (not always) when it is connected to the computer, but the other a dose not make any sound. Could you please tell me if it is defective and needs to be replaced? Thank you very much for your help.

    Fact is that during the process of reading and writing the HARD disk head movement could create some noise but it's hard to say if more loud noise seems to indicate a HARD drive problem...

    I think that if you know not all this noise, get in touch with the dealer and ask for help...
