Drive partitions
The external hard drive ships with two partitions: a Virtual CD
partition and a Toshiba HDD partition.
When you connect the drive to a computer, the drive mounts to your
system. This means the computer has established a communications
link with the drive.
When the drive is mounted, two icons appear in the computers file
management application (for example, My Computer or Windows
Explorer), if the drive is connected via USB: one representing the
Virtual CD partition, and the other representing the Toshiba HDD
partition.
NOTE The procedure for safely removing a hardware device may vary
depending on your computer's operating system. Refer to the
documentation provided with your operating system if the above
procedure is not applicable to your system.
NOTE When you shut down your computer, the drive unmounts from the
system automatically. You do not need to manually unmount it.
Simply wait until the computer shuts down before disconnecting the
cable.
NOTE If you have installed the Drive Monitor application, you can also
safely remove the drive from your system by right-clicking on the
Drive Monitor icon in the Notification Area/System tray of your
Windows desktop and selecting Eject. For information on installing
the Drive Monitor, see Checking used/free disk space and drive
properties on page 18.
NOTE If the Toshiba Drive Setup window is not displayed, do the following:
1. Make sure the drive is connected to the computer with a USB
cable (not an eSATA cable).
2. In My Computer or Computer, right-click the Virtual CD ( ) icon
and select Open.
3. Double-click the Install Drive Monitor ( ) icon.
For more information on the Virtual CD, see Drive partitions on
page 14.
3 Click Install.
The application is extracted from the drive's Virtual CD partition
and installed in the Toshiba HDD partition.
After installing the Drive Monitor, you can switch to an eSATA
connection if you wish.
NOTE If you back up data to a different device other than the Toshiba
external hard drive, the Toshiba drive must still be connected to the
computer because the Backup software runs from the Toshiba drive.
NOTE If the Toshiba Drive Setup window is not displayed, do the following:
1. Make sure the drive is connected to the computer with a USB
cable (not an eSATA cable).
2. In My Computer or Computer, right-click the Virtual CD ( ) icon
and select Open.
3. Double-click the Install Backup Software ( ) icon.
3 Click Install.
The software is extracted from the drive's Virtual CD partition and
installed in the Toshiba HDD partition.
After installing the software, you may switch to an eSATA
connection if you wish. For information on using the software, see
Using the Backup Software Control Pad on page 20.

the task or use the tool.
Sync
A Sync operation duplicates files in their native format from one
storage device to another. The copied files are immediately
accessible on both devices. The image below illustrates this
process.
A Sync set is the term used for the two devices or folders you
are synchronizing.
Each storage device or folder in a Sync set is referred to as a
target.
The software uses bidirectional synchronization. When a Sync
is run, the software searches both storage devices
simultaneously for new or modified files and updates each
device so that it contains the latest files.
Because bidirectional synchronization is used, it doesnt matter
which device you designate as the first target and which
device you designate as the second target. In either order, the
result is the same.
Erasing Data
NOTE If your hard disk or other storage media contains sensitive data, you
should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove
data from the media. These standard deletion procedures include:
Selecting Delete for a target file
Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin
Reformatting the media
Reinstalling an operating system
The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for
file management. This makes the file invisible to the operating
system, but the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you
dispose of the hard drive, first delete all the data on it using one of
the methods listed below. Doing so prevents unauthorized use of
such data. To ensure your data is not used for unauthorized
purposes, you can:
Physically destroy the hard disk drive
Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data
Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service
All data deletion costs will be borne by you.
Q: What are the specific file formats that the drive will back up
when I select a file type category?
A: By default, the supported file formats for the file type categories
are:
Picture Files: JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIF, GIF, PNG, and PSD
Music Files: MP3, WMA, AAC, MP4
Video Files: AVI, WMV, WM9, MPG, MPEG, MOV, FLV,
AND 3GP
Office Documents: DOC, XLS, XLA, PPT, PDF, MDB,
XLSX, DOCX, PPS, PPSX, PPTX and RTF
You can add other file formats to each file type category by
adjusting the File Filtering preferences in the Backup Software
Control Pad. Go to Tools, Preferences, and then File Filtering. For
more information, see Using the Backup Software Control Pad
on page 20.
