Touro usb 3.0 drive - Touro Hitachi Computers & Internet

Need to go to Touro hard drive web site and download a driver for Mac. probably the driver you have is for windows or your USB
Is bad.

Hi can you hear any spinning whirring noise?
This could be a cable fault or the drive itself could be faulty.
You can download Hiren Software on USB to test the drive with the software

You can use a USB flash drive as an Xbox 360 storage device and store up to 32 gigabytes (GB) of content.

go on line for your model and down load the driver or if in windows add the machine and let windows search and down load the driver for you.

open the case , take out the drive , attache it to a computer internally ,youll need a cable or borrow you cd's cable, turn drive on in the bios to see drive ,save , boot an let windows load it , now does it come up as a drive letter an can you scan fix it . right clik that letter , properties , scan an fix. now thats assuming the drives have windows compatible sectoring an software that formatted it for your data to hold on it.
if you get an error before you get into windows then the drive has likely died in one of many ways.

Thanks for asking your question on Fixya. ;-)
What error messages are you seeing, if any? Does Apple OS recognize it at all? Also, did you format the drive on a windows computer? How about deleting the partition and plug it back into the macbook so the macbook can set it up for you. If you plug it into the windows machine, what messages did you get from that?

I contacted Hitachi support, no solution. They say we should return and exchange the disk with a new model that supports Windows 8.
Very very fustrating.

Check the supported movie files that can be played on that tv then look at the file and see what type of file it is. I recommend using MP4, WMA or AVI files

Hi,try to use other usb cable,and insert it also to other usb port of your computer.But if its still not working..go to my computer right click..see the manage,..see the disk management..there you found your hard disk but if doesnt appear on it..it means that your har disk was dead or defective already..thanks

You need to be sure that it is plugged into a USB 2.0 slot. Sometimes USB 2.0 devices will not be detected in USB 1.0 or 1.1, or on low powered USB slots. The back of your computer is the most likely location for a USB 2.0 and is likely indicated.
