Toshiba 3.5 "3 TB USB 3 to HDD - unable to create partition using Mac OS

Hi guys,.

I just bought a Toshiba Canvio 3 TB (HDWC130EK3J1) to be used as external for my iMac.
I can see the well 3 TB drive, but I can't make any partition system native Mac OS journaled.

When I try, I get an error message.

Any help or ideas?

Thank you

Hello

To my knowledge the Toshiba 3.5 "3 TB USB 3 to HARD drive supports the file format NTFS (for the support of the Windows system).

I guess you must re - format the HARD drive to the system of files HFS + for Mac compatibility

Your comments would be appreciated

  • How to make the partitions using the toshiba restore CD

    Hi forum users. I just want to explain more on creating partitions using our Toshiba Recovery CD. I have a portable satellite A50-101.

    I searched some topics on this forum and found this post from Quad. Just follow these steps carefully and you'll be successful to make the partitions on your hard drive.

    Here is the message by Quad.

    Hi forum users

    If anyone of you needs an accurate description of installation of operating system using Expert mode, maybe this can help you.

    When the recovery process has begun there are menu where you can choose between two modes of installation.
    1 standard mode
    2. expert mode

    At first he put there important warning: all data stored on your computer will be lost. It is also important that hollow a Standard installation partition will be created and all data on the hard drive will be lost.

    If you want to install the operating system on a partition, please use Expert mode. In this case, the software can be installed on an existing partition. Alternatively, you can make one by yourself.

    If you want to make a partition with a set capacity, please do it on this path:

    1. choose number 2 Expert mode pressing
    2 approve OK key ENTER
    3. choose LOCAL > DISK > image
    4. look in: must be selected for the CD-ROM drive
    In the Middle window choose GHO file and press ENTER
    5. using the TAB key you must mark the player information and so on and press ENTER
    6. using TAB button again part brand of window average (blue line) and with SPACE activate new dimension box
    7. place inside the new size of the partition and press ENTER again
    8. the question to continue with load disc? confirm with OK

    I hope this can help you to make the desired partition size.

    Good bye
    ######################

    At step 6 above, enter the size of the partition you want. Size must be entered in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB). (mine is 40 GB HDD, i.e. 38146. I go to half, 19073)
    Proceed with the disk load? Click OK.

    It will now recover your machine to its factory setting. 2 partitions will be made.

    Once the restore is complete, open my computer. You'll see only drive Local (c) on hard drives. Click on properties and you will see that the size that you specified in step 6 above (20 GB). So, where's my other 20 GB? It is a way to treat 2 to make a new logical drive.

    Hello hawkstrattus,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you are not able to install Windows 10 on your MacBook Air. From your post, I see you're under OS X Lion mountain. Windows 10 requires OS X Yosemite or later. You can upgrade your software on MacBook Air. The following article contains additional information about the system requirements:

  • I bought a 32 GB USB CRUZER EDGE today. I can't use it (RAW problem)

    I bought a 32 GB USB CRUZER EDGE today. I can't use it.

    USB is in RAW format and I can't format it.

    How do I do for change in NTFS or FAT32?

    Bring (or send) back. It must be formatted in FAT32.

    But before you do, just check that the problem is with the drive itself and not your computer by trying it in another USB port and another computer.

  • Question of Toshiba AT10-r: charging: mini-usb connector port is broken

    My tablet to-10A is plu 1 year bit (expired warranty then). It will no longer charge. I have already answered a few messages in the forum that indicated similar problems. Let me continue on another where I can give you a few other updates.

    There is no need to do the "factory reset" procedure because it is a hardware issue. (I have done, but as no change provided).

    I opened my Tablet and tested with a multimeter. It seems that the mini-usb port is broken (see the attachment, the 5v PIN is not in good shape), basically I don't have 5 volts there. Precisely the mini-usb port is part of a small circuit hannstar e89382 arc10L_usb_sub. That's what it should be changed. I tried to get him, but I can't find one.

    Toshiba allow this component?

    Any other idea of the people in the forum? I saw a new mini-usb port of welding, but it won't be easy, at least not for me.

    Best regards
    Luca

    Luca,

    The EU standard warranty is 2 years, but in your case I don't know how the USB port is broken. Toshiba will have to fix if it proves to be a part of the defective material. Give it a try.

    I can't find any drivers associated with this product on this site... Its a Toshiba 320 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive.
    Ive also tried going into win xp in safe mode, remove all controllers and usb devices, restart in normal mode, wait 5 minutes for the reconstruction of the database, then plugged back in the ex - HD, said peripheral unknown. Ive tried to update driveer with windows looking for me and myself to the research in the win xp cd and the file I386 etc..

  • Port USB of the Satellite L30 stop Windows when using

    I recently bought a Satellite L30 (psl33E) for my wife and everything seemed fine. That was until she needed additional usb ports for his stuff and used the port on the left side of the machine (as opposed to the one still in use, in the back). As soon as she tried to use this port in particular, the close dow and has done since then.

    Could someone tell me please how to fix this, because it is only a few weeks old, and I don't want to take it back to the store where it was purchased.

    In the hope of a miracle.

    TIA.

    Hello

    It really looks like a serious hardware problem. I guess that the USB port cannot deliver enough power when other ports are in use.

    If I were you I bring the machine or contact the nearest available service partner in your country and allow them to correct this problem.

  • Laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 Home Prem OA: damaged HDD / Act. key / No boot DVD

    Hello world

    My Toshiba laptop (Satellite P855-S5200) broke down and Im forced to replace my hard drive. As this laptop came with a preinstalled window, I don't have any starting device to activate my Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit again.

    The sticker on the back of my laptop said: Window 7 Home Prem OA.

    (1) what it means? What is the difference between mine and a regular version of window 7 Home Premium?

    I researched and found "X 17-58997 ISO» (2) it work to activate my Window 7 Home Prem OA? My laptop says 'X 16-96072' (3) I want to say I find that version to work for my laptop? If Yes, where can I find it?

    If I want to switch to Window 7 Professional How can I do? Can I just buy a Window 7 Professional Windows and install it?

    Please help! Greatly appreciated!

    If Santanu suggestion is not viable because your PC is no longer under warranty then try the following (and Yes you touch will activate Windows that you install Windows 7 Home Premium).

    (1) download the Windows 7 proper. ISO file that includes Service Pack 1
    (Note: must match for your product key version)

    How do I know if I have a version of 32 or 64 Bit of Windows installed on my computer:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58996.iso

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
    SHA1 hash: 6C9058389C1E2E5122B7C933275F963EDF1C07B9

    (2) after downloading the correct .iso file install HashCalc and validate the SHA1 hash value
    is correct. If the download is not corrupted, the value HashCalc returns will be the value of SHA1 I posted.
