• 3T to Toshiba Canvio DWC130 quite dead external HARD disk

  My external DRIVE of Toshiba drive gives no sign of life. Connect the power supply, absolutely no noise is heard. I measured current consumption. There is no power. Sounds like a fuse is broken.
  It could be easy to repair, but if I try to prosecute, I lost a guarantee.
  If I send my HARD drive to the service, I can lose my data.

  is it possible to prosecute to do a backup of a drive without losing a guarantee?

  > is there a way to prosecute to do a backup of a drive without losing a guarantee?
  I don t think so. Any changes made to the HDD case will void the warranty.
  To be honest I m not very well if the HDD can be repaired.

  If only one HARD drive controller (which is part of the the HARD disk envelope) is defective, the data on the disk HARD isn't affected and it should be possible to access the files using another enclosure.

  In the case where failures of HARD drive (HDD) and the data is affected, it would be very difficult to get these recovered data. In most cases, special tools and procedures are needed to recover these files.

  Anyway, in your case, I would recommend talking with the guys from service options are possible.

• TOSHIBA StorE Art 2 TB external hard drive not recognized by HP Elite /Win7

  I have a new HP Elite desktop computer running Windows 7 Home Edition:
  A few months ago, I bought a Toshiba Store Art HDD Ext 2 to, which until today has worked well. Today, I started the PC in the morning (with no updates of Windows or other software) to find that he would recognize is no longer the Toshiba hard drive. He always recognizes the WD drives and SimpleTech drives when they are plugged. All external drives are powered separately and do not rely on the power of USB.

  I tried the Art Store on other PC and it works fine. I tried to change the cables, the cable works on other players (and other cables will not do this work of Art store). I tried several ports USB 2 on the PC, with no luck * (but all the ports work with other readers).

  I try verified Drvivers of COMPUTERS and MANAGING disks. There is no sign of the disk (not defective disc), it is simply not there at all.

  I searched on the web - try a variety of techniques (disconnect the power PC) and much more. No luck.

  PC specifications are:
  Operating system
  MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1
  CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
  Intel Core i3 530 2.93 GHz 30 ° c.
  Technology of 32nm Clarkdale
  RAM

  Works well with all other readers. and it worked with Toshiba until this morning.

  Clues?

  Thank you

• Toshiba Canvio external hard drive does not.

  When I plug in my phone via USB, my computer (under Windows 7 Home) install the driver, but I cannot access the device. In Device Manager, it shows the hard drive, but is not a letter assigned, or he let me to assign a letter. I tried to plug it into the other USB ports, uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, unstalling the USB port and reinstall. When I connect the hard drive to my dish DVR, DVR recognizes. When I connect the device to my computer, it will be ding, but just not let my y access or modify anything on the hard drive.

  This is because it is formatted with some file systems that includes your DVR.

  Don't forget when you the connected to the dish DVR?  It probably went something like this:

  Step 1

  Connect the external hard drive to a source of electrical energy.

  Step 2

  Turn on the TV RECORDER and flat.

  Step 3

  Plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on the back of the RECORDER from dish. Plug the other end of this cable into the USB port on the external hard drive. The DVR will recognize the new device and displays a message on the TV screen showing "USB storage must be reformatted to support the functionality of Dish Network."

  See that last part?  * Poof * will computer compatibility no doubt some additional efforts.  This isn't a Microsoft, Windows7, question etc.

  Since I think you think you have found an easy way to record TV shows and get them on the computer - here's the bad news...

• How to move data from iMac to 3 TB Stor.E Canvio external HARD drive

  Hi guys,.

  First post, new to all this.

  I bought a Toshiba 3 to Stor.E Canvio external hard drive to get a load of movies and music out of my iMac.

  I plugged it in, the iMac seems to recognize, so I tried to drag and drop in the folder on the hard drive, but it leaves nothing.

  Can someone give me some advice on how to move things from my iMac to the new hard disk?

  Thank you very much, looking forward to hear from you.

• External hard drive Canvio Basics 2.0 TB/To - device connection issues.

  Hello

  I recently bought an external hard drive and I can't connect my computer's hard drive. (Toshiba Canvio basics 3.0 - 2, 0 to/To - Usb 3.0 and 2.0)

  There is a pop up message saying that the device has been installed, but when I go to 'my computer' hard drive does not appear.

  Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be corrected? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Claire

  I thought that I should add a little more information...

  I tried to access the device on a computer, 2 notebooks, 2 TV and an Xbox, so it seems that the hard drive is the common problem.
  In addition, the drive appears in device under disk drivers Manager and he said that the hard drive had no problem but I can not access the hard disk.

  Thanks again

• Clicking on Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive

  Bought my external hard drive Toshiba Canvio black 1 TB in July, and a few days ago I heard / felt continuous clicking. I've been more than prudent with my drive, never give up, tilting ever and never disconnect when the light flashes. Somehow I could possibly revive? Sometimes after I have unplug it and plug it back, there is no clicking for an hour and my files are readable, but then he starts up with the clicking again

  Hello

  You should be troubled if the HARD drive starts making strange noises.
  It could be a first sign of a HARD disk crash.
  On the other hand, my HARD drive clicks also but not always it happens sporadically
  I couldn't find a reason for this, but I created some backups to be on the safe side.

  I think that you must back up the data too.

• Toshiba PX1266E - 1 25 external hard drive (250 GB)

  I had a glance at the map, I don't see anyone with a similar problem, so I am posting this in the hope that someone can help me.

  I currently have a HDD external Toshiba PX1266E - 1 25 (250 GB) that is causing me problems.

  I have two laptops that I use: a single running XP (SP3) and a staff of Vista (SP1). The password on the Toshiba Disk Manager software seems to be compatible with XP but not Vista, so whenever I used the disc with my Vista laptop, I've been disable Manager password using the application ONSPCRT.exe on the phantom CD-ROM created by the HARD drive, then reactivation using the ONSPCSET.exe application is also on the ghost of CD-ROM.

  It worked well until last night. I had been back a few more data at the disk of the Vista laptop and then re-enabled the software Password Manager. However, 20 minutes later, I decided that I wanted to copy something from the HARD drive to the laptop Vista, so I plugged it in, turned off password using ONSPCRT Manager and then... nothing. Usually, when you do this, the AutoPlay box appears for the HARD disk and asks me how I want to set the type of files on the HARD drive. Now, it does absolutely nothing.

  I tried in the XP laptop and once again, nothing. I tried to re - enable and disable Manager password several times. I always used the right password and do not understand why my HARD drive does not start to run automatically when I enter the password, or plug it into a computer with an invalid password manager.

  The ghost CD (usually labeled as "Password" and allocated drive E :) appears again and I can access all the files on it, but the drive HARD himself (who was usually allocated drive F :) simply does not appear in my computer at all now.)

  Please, please, please help - my ongoing doctoral research is stored on this drive and I'm frantic, just think that I could have lost. Is there some sort of Autorun feature that I could have accidentally triggered?

  Hmm.

  Try this:
  -Disconnect the HARD drive to the USB port
  -remove the hubs and USB port on the Device Manager
  -restart the laptop
  -wait until the USB ports will be installed
  -Connect the HARD drive and then try to access the data

  I'm not sure if this will help, but in my case that worked perfectly if the external HARD drive was not recognized in my computer

  Good luck

• 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

• How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

  I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

  As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

  So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

  Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

  Hello

  I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

  If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?
