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...
Mike

You take on this HARD drive?

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...

  • Error does not support 64-bit Windows, Explorer of Titanic on Win 7 64 bit installation

    Original title: Titanic Explorer on Win 7 64 bit Running

    Hello, I just got an application called James Cameron's Titanic Explorer, it's cool, but I have a problem installing it.

    When I try to install it, it says it does not support 64-bit Windows. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit.

    Is there a way I could run in 64-bit Windows? Thanks for help

    EDIT: I tried compatibility mode, no luck.

    According to the program, it does not work on a 64-bit so make OS run natively is very likely.

    If you have another Windows license, you can still use Windows Virtual PC to run virtually, but keep in mind any visualization program has limited graphics ability and it may not always work well or very quickly.

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics 1 TB hard work do not

    Hi all

    I bought a 1 TB Canvio Officeworks HDD Basics about 6 months ago, and it has been wayward more or less his entire life.

    The USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I intend to pay, but I'd like my data on it.
    Contact Toshiba?

    I tried to email them, but I can't work that the serial and model numbers are on this subject.
    Also, I do not have the box, the drive came in or the original receipt would be this question if I am trying to return it?

    I am sure that it is still in warranty and whatnot.

    Any help would be great,

    Louis

    > USB connection is not and has never worked properly and was recently completely died on me, which means I can access is more data on the device.

    I googled for the 1 TB Canvio Basics HDD and it seems that this external HARD disk supports USB 3.0
    The USB 3.0 standard generally provide 900mA power. The USB 2.0 standard provides power of 500mA.
    If you have problems using USB 3.0 as part of a USB 2.0 device, I recommend you connect the HARD drive to 2 ports USB 2.0 USB with USB Y cable.

    But if the HARD drive does not work in different USB ports (also connected to two USB ports) and then the HARD drive may be defective.

    If the warranty is valid, the device can be fixed / replaced in warranty conditions. Of course you need a proof of purchase (receipt or something like that)

    But to my knowledge such guaranteed conditions don t include the process of data recovery.
    So in the event of disk failure HARD, the data is lost. :(

    If you wish, you can check date get offers:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/services/data-recovery/

    But as far as I know if you have not purchased this service before the disk fails, the rescue date procedure can be a very costly affair.

  • Toshiba Canvio Desk 4TB not recognizesed on TV

    Hello

    I replaced my Station D3 3 to (I broke it...) with Toshiba Canvio Office 4 TB and I had a question. Why does not not on my tv (Samsung LE40C530)?

    My TV recognizes HDD - s only up to 2 TB, so I split the drive on two partitions (I did the same thing with db station and it worked perfectly...) but still it does not work, TV will not change even with media player when the player is connected, nothing...

    I tried everything, changing between TPG - MRB, different size of partition, different cables... but nothing seems to work.

    Then, I missing something here or is my brand new Toshiba Canvio Office 4TB just incompatible with my TV... I hope as the first but...

    Help, please!

    It is a HARD USB 3.0 drive.
    The TV supports the new USB 3.0 standard?

    I guess you should clarify that with your TV manufacturer support.

  • Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

    Hello!

    I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

    In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

    I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
    The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

    There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
    It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
    However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

    Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

    Best regards and thanks for the help!
    Gernot

    So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
    Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

    Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

    Please let me know if it will work.

  • 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

    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.
