Hello,

I have a MacBook and I partition some part of it to use as Window Vista. Now I just bought a new toshiba external hard disk. The external hard disk can be detected by the mac side but not the windows side. But on the windows side, there is the icon to safely remove it. But when I go to my computer, there isn't the drive for the external hard disk.

What can I do?

Okie,

I just tried to follow your case nice stuff that you did to the MAC. Well if the external hard disk is being detected with MAC better use it there then and no you do not have the Remove Safely option in MAC for the time being so if you wish you can wait for a few minutes before unplugging the device .. else try to highlight the device and press CMD+E at the same time.

Toshiba external hard drive not detected

Hello,

This is Rathish from India. I bought both my laptop and my external drive in UK. I am using Windows 7 Home. I bought that hard drive after 18 months. when I plugged in my HDD it's not showing up d icon of the HDD. This one happens after connecting into my cousin's computer. Actually, Toshiba HDD's will turn into white color from Blue when it's plugged into a computer, but in my case, it still glows in Blue, so I don't know what is the exact problem of it. Can anyone help me to get rid of this one?

Thanks!
