Toshiba Canvio 3.5 3 TB HDWC130EW3J1 hard drive

Hi all

Can someone tell me if the above hard disc will be compatible with Windows 8.1?

I have searched the Internet and cannot find an answer.

I think buying a new PC with installed 8.1. Don't want to but it if I can't use my hard drive with it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

James

Hello

It is an external HARD drive which will be connected to the USB port.
HARD drive supports USB3.0 and USB 2.0 standard and the min system requirements are:

Windows® XP / VISTA® / Windows® 7
With 750 MHz or faster CPU, 10 MB of disk space hard, 256 MB system memory, a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port

However, I put t see any reasons why this external HARD disk should not be supported by Win 8.1

    Just bought this as a backup device for Small Business Server 2008 running on Windows 2008 64-bit. However it does not? Are there drivers anywhere for this or it is simply not supported and I need to buy an alternative solution?

    Plugged into my laptop Windows 7 64 bit and no problems.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no other software by download.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba in the Options area but didn't find anything

    AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

    There may be a password.
    Try this:
    Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
    Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
    Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
    Select 'Options '.
    Select "Disable security password"
    Enter your current password
    Unplug the HARD drive
    connect the HARD drive

    Now, it will work, but with no password protection. Perhaps it would work

  • How to wear the Vista/Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 software after upgrade HARD drive

    Hello.

    Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

    My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

    If this is not the case-how can I do?

    If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
    Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

    I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you in advance,

    Kenny.

    Hello

    You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

    The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

    It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

    That's all. :)

    See you soon

  • Toshiba ph3100u-1exb external Hard Drive will not stay On

    Hi all.

    I recently bought a Toshiba ph3100u-1exb 1.0 TB external hard drive. It works fine, but the problem that I am running is that it does not stay on for more than a few minutes. I don't know that its a kind of function, but if there is a way to turn it off, energy saving, I would have the accessible reader at all times, I use the information stored on it a little.

    When he died, I can always press the power button to bring it up, but I would like to have it on all the time. Is it at all possible to do? A setting on the drive, or even within Windows?

    I have the player hooked up through a USB cable, this PC is a little older and does not use for hard drives-eSATA cables.

    Hello

    In my opinion, the HARD drive must be checked with different computers and different OS (Vista, Win 7, Win XP). If the external HARD disk doesn't work using different systems and computers then it s definitely a HARD drive problem.

    I have 2 different external drives a HARD drive died and I had to replace it.
    In my opinion, if a HARD drive starts to malfunction then it s mostly a hardware related issue and there is nothing to replace the defective drive

  • Technical information of the MK2555GSXF hard drive from Toshiba.

    My MBP (MacBookPro) contains a MK2555GSXF of TOSHIBA 250 GB hard drive that crashed. After checking this site for an hour, I am still unable to find technical data referring to this player. The research methods of this site have got to be the worst performance of a search engine I've seen for a long time.

    When I enter the Product Code, there is absolutely NO information is associated with the exception of the ridiculous questions on all the other products in addition to that I was interrogated on.

    Even the most banal search engine would show at least some information, even the product exist initially. Absolutely NO information about specific Toshiba products.

    In my state of total frustration now altered, so I had use in establishing an account and ask that obvious on a forum, that once more still more delays.

    SO here's the question I tried to find the answer to for the last hour and a half.

    Where technical information to theTOSHIBA MK2555GSXF from hard drive?

    Maybe some here may have more luck than me to find this information.

    Kind regards...

    You are right. I didn't found any info on the Toshiba HDD/SSD support page, but Googling around, I found the track information:

  • Pavilion dv7, 1016nr: hard drive card on HP laptop Toshiba

    I had a HP used off craigslist, because my Toshiba laptop crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the Toshiba, but now, the CPU it's again a Toshiba! He's trying to look for records that do not exist, the bitrate is mixed up, and I can't do certain things because of this!

    The operating system was the Toshiba, and I don't know what specifications are contained in the hard disk. Help, please!

    I know, but the problem is the hard disk that came with it is FULL of viruses, and I don't want to connect two of them in the same device, or even that you use at all. I'm on an allowance now, so I can't exactly buy a new, can't use both at the same time, otherwise the laptop overheats.

    I could try using Malwarebytes on that hard drive and transfer files from the old and hopefully get Speedfan to find the fan that cools this thing.

    WoW! t helps a lot when you have something to talk about when things to know!

    I have that now to 1 question: what are the functions of the computer are stored in the hard drive?

    (also, is a sale "day of service", or am I just lucky?) (More ugly. Emoji. Never.))

  • How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

    Hello

    I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

    I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

    Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

    I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

    Thank you very much

    Dougal

    I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
    Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

    Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

  • Satellite M35X-S149 dead hard drive - need advice

    Hi all.

    My old Toshiba Satellite M35X-S149 had a dead hard drive. I took it for repair, but they said it could not be repaired and they could not recover the information about it.

    I think to be auctioned on eBay for parts only. I wonder if all the data that might be on the hard drive can be hacked somehow. I doubt if there is anything that it doesn't matter who would be able to do anything with anyway, but I would like the opinion of someone who knows more about this kind of thing than me.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

    Carla

    Hey Buddy,

    Why you n t remove the HARD drive before you sell the laptop? I would never sell a HARD drive on eBay because some people try to restore the data. If I have a HARD drive that I don't need more, I use it as HARD drive external or I trash because cheap hard drives these days, you get can 500 GB for about 50 Euros.

    Finally, and especially if the HARD drive is really bad, nobody seems so just remove and sell your laptop without HARD drive. ;)

  • Can what larger HARD drive I use on Portege 7200ct?

    Ive got a toshiba portege 7200ct, what is the largest hard drive recognizable by the laptop?
    That I get an insert system disk in drive when I put in a 40 GB drive

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Portege 7200ct seems to be an older unit.
    I googled around and found some info on the delivered HARD drive.
    It seems that the laptop came with a 12 GB of HARD drive.

    ARIN, I think 20 GB HARD drive would work and in my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger hard drives.
    But "suck it and see '.
    You know it; You can visit a computer store and test drives. Maybe you are a lucky man and run a larger HARD drive (but I don't)

  • Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

    So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
    (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
    but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
    the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

    I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

    But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

    When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

    What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?
