DRIVE SETUP

This section covers the following:

Connecting the Drive to your computer

• Drive Security Setup

• Activate Nomad Mobile Desktop

•

Important notes before you begIn:

Your TOSHIBA SecuRed Hard Disk Drive is bus-powered. This

• means the Drive does not need to be plugged into an AC outlet. In a few cases you may need to use two USB ports to power the Drive. Instructions are provided below.

Do not plug the Drive into a USB port on a keyboard or hub

• that does not have its own power supply.

The supplied USB cable has two type A connectors and a mini-

• USB connector. The secondary type A connector will only be needed if you find you require two USB ports to power the Drive, as explained in "Connecting the Drive to your computer".

USB connectors can only be plugged in one way. Be sure to

• correctly insert the connectors, or you may damage the Drive and void the warranty.

Primary USB type A connector

(plug into your computer)

Secondary USB type A connector

(use only if needed)

mini-USB connector

Connecting the Drive to your computer

1. With your computer

powered on and fully booted up, plug the primary USB type A connector into a USB 2.0 port on your computer.

Leave the secondary type A connector free. You will only use it if needed, which will be determined after step 2.

2. Plug the mini-USB

connector into the miniUSB port on the Drive.

Confirm that the Drive mounts

After the Drive is connected it should mount to your system, and the following should occur:

the Power/Data Indicator will illuminate;

• the Biologin-New User window will

• appear on screen (as shown);

a new icon, labelled "CD PART" will

• appear in My Computer under "Devices with Removable Storage."

If the Drive mounts successfully to your system go to "Setting up BioLogin".

If the Drive does not mount…

If the Drive does not mount after several seconds, it is not receiving sufficient current to fully power up. In this case you will need to use a second USB port for additional power:

1. Unplug the mini-USB connector from the Drive.

2. Plug the secondary USB type A connector into a second USB

port on your computer or hub.

3. Plug the mini-USB connector back into the Drive. The Drive

should now power up and mount to your system.

Drive Security Setup

Your TOSHIBA SecuRed Hard Disk Drive is equipped with Password Login and BioLogin security. Although you must setup both, you will have the option to use either Password Login or BioLogin whenever you connect the Drive.

Step 1: Setup Your Password

1. In the Password field, enter

your password.

2. Confirm the password by

re-entering it in the Confirm field.

3. When you are done, click OK.

Step 2: Set up BioLogin

In this step you will register the finger(s) you wish to use for BioLogin.

1. Inside the Select Finger

window, choose a finger to register for BioLogin by clicking on the corresponding circle in the hands graphic.

You will have the option to register an additional finger(s) later.

2. After you select a finger, the

Register Finger window will appear. Slowly swipe the selected finger across the Drive's fingerprint scanner, as shown in the window.

Repeat the swipe until a full, successful scan is registered, as shown by the progress bar. It may require several swipes.

3. Once the finger has been successfully registered, the Select Finger

window will appear again. You can now register another finger if you wish. When you are finished registering your finger(s) click Finish.

4. You will then see a window with the message that registration

was successful. Click OK, then unplug and

plug in the Drive for the change to take effect.

5. After you re-connect the Drive,

the Verify User window will appear. You can login by swiping your finger (biologin) or by entering your password.

Logging in by swiping your finger:

Slowly swipe your finger across the scanner as shown.

It may take more than one swipe for a successful scan.

When the scan is successful, a "thumbs up" graphic will appear and in a moment the SECURE DISK partition will mount. (The SECURE DISK partition will be listed in My Computer.)

Logging in using your password:

To login using your password, click the Password button and enter your password in the login screen. After you login the SECURE DISK partition will mount. (The SECURE DISK partition will be listed in My Computer.)

Step 3: Enable Encryption

After you login, a new window will appear asking if you wish to enable encryption.

If you do NOT want to enable encryption, click No.

After you click No, the "Activate Nomad Mobile Desktop" window will appear.

Go to "Setting up Nomad" now.

If you want to enable encryption…

You have three options (see below for explanations). Once you make your selection, click Yes to confirm your choice.

IMPORTANT:

Please select your encryption option carefully. Once encryption has been enabled, you cannot disable it.

Option 1: Encrypt the whole Drive

Select this option if you want all data that you save to the Drive encrypted.

Option 2: Encrypt a selected partition

Select this option if you want to create a fixed encrypted partition and a separate, non-encrypted partition on the Drive. The data on the encrypted partition will be more secure, but the non-encrypted partition will have slightly better performance.

Option 3: Create an encrypted vault

Select this option to have a portion of the Drive reserved for encrypted storage without actually partitioning the Drive. When the Drive mounts to the system, the encrypted vault will appear as a separate hard drive volume in My Computer, labeled with a name that you assign. You save files that you want encrypted to this volume.

1. After you select the

encrypted vault option and click Yes, a new window will appear. Enter a name in the Vault Name field.

2. Specify the size of the vault

by checking the appropriate radio button (KB-Kilobytes; MB-Megabytes; GB-Gigabytes), then enter a number in the Size field.

Activate Nomad Mobile Desktop?

After the Encryption process is complete, the “Active Nomad Mobile Desktop?” window will appear.

If you wish to enable Nomad, click OK. Otherwise click Cancel.

If you click OK, the Nomad Mobile Desktop files will be extracted and installed on the Drive. When the installation is complete the Mobile Desktop will appear on screen.

Setup of your TOSHIBA SecuRed Hard Disk Drive is not complete. See below for further instructions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Do I have to format my TOSHIBA Drive prior to using it?

A: No, the Drive was formatted at the factory.

Q; Where are the USB drivers for Windows Vista, XP, 2000?

A: They are built into the respective operating systems. However, you may need to upgrade your Windows OS. See “System Requirements.”

Q: Can I connect the Drive to a USB expansion card?

A: Yes, but you may need to update the software/firmware for the card. We recommend you check with the card’s manufacturer for the latest updates.

Q: Can you make the Drive bootable?

A: No. Windows does not support the use of external hard drives as boot volumes.

Q: Why is the capacity of my Drive as shown in Windows lower than the Drive’s actual stated capacity?

A: The difference is mostly due to the way operating systems measure disk capacity, as compared to the method used by hard drive manufacturers. Hard Drive manufacturers have always

used the decimal (base 10) method, where 1GB = 1,000 MB = 1,000,000 KB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Operating systems use the binary (base 2) method, where 1GB = 1,024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. For this reason, a hard drive with a capacity of 120 GB (decimal) will appear in Windows with a capacity of around 112 GB (binary). It must also be noted that operating systems reserve a portion of hard disk space for their own purposes. The actual amount can vary, depending on the operating system.

Hard Drive manufacturers use the decimal method because it is simpler and less confusing to consumers who may not be familiar with the base 2 number system. Manufacturers of operating systems do not need to concern themselves with this issue, so they use the more traditional binary method.

Q: Does TOSHIBA provide data recovery services?

A: TOSHIBA does not provide data recovery services.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My computer does not recognize the Drive.

A: This could be due to several reasons:

Make sure all of your connections are secure;

• If you are attempting to run the Drive off of bus power, you

• may need to use two USB ports. See the chapter "Installing the Drive" for details and instructions;

If using an add-on card, make sure it is working properly, and

• update the software/firmware;

If using Windows XP, make sure you have Service Pack 1 or

• later. If using Windows 2000, make sure you have SP 4 or later.

The Drive gives me a “Device cannot start. Code (10).”

A: This is a power issue. Make sure your connections are secure. The other possibility is that the Drive has malfunctioned and requires service.

I don’t see my TOSHIBA Drive in My Computer, but it does appear in Device Manager.

A: Right-click on My Computer. Select Manage in the pop-up menu. In the Computer Management window, select Storage, then select Disk Management. In the Disk Management window, you should see a list of available storage devices. Look for the

disk that has a capacity closest to your TOSHIBA Drive. Rightclick on the right-hand box; in the pop-up menu select Delete Partition. Once you do this, it will say “Online” & “Unallocated.” Right-click on the box and select Create New Partition in the pop-up menu. When the Partition Wizard appears, select Primary Partition and click on Next. You will see a default value for the TOSHIBA Drive; click Next. You will then see a Drive letter (you can change this Drive letter if you wish); click Next. You will then be asked to format the TOSHIBA Drive.

After I connected the Drive to my PC, I got the following alert message: “Hi-Speed USB device plugged into non-Hi-Speed USB Hub.” What does this mean?

A: You will get this alert message if you plugged the Drive into a USB port that only support USB 1.1. TOSHIBA does not warrant that the drive will work correctly with a USB1.1 port. Please refer to the system requirements.

The Drive seems to be operating slower than 480 Mbps.

A: First, in order to reach USB 2.0 speeds, you need a connection that supports USB 2.0. If the connection only supports USB 1.1 the Drive will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps). The Drive will auto-sense the speed of your USB port and adjust between USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. Second, 480 Mbps is the maximum speed of USB 2.0 devices. Actual data transfer rates will vary depending on a number of factors, including available CPU resources.
