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.

8EN
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 mini-
USB 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.

10 EN
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.

11 EN
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.

12 EN
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.)

13 EN
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.)

14 EN
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.

15 EN
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.

16 EN
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.

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

20 EN
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.
