I am running Vista on a PC. I plugged in the USB cable. Then right-clicked a file on my desktop and selected "send to". The extnl hard drive does not show up as a option. I checked and the driver for this device shows as up to date on my computer. Clicking Control panel > Device manager > Disk drives does show "Toshiba external USB 3 USB Device". How do I save files to this drive?
Open the file and cick save as. In the window that opens, select the external drive in the list.
or, right click the file and click copy. Open the external drive in my computer and click paste.

Your drive does not have a file system installed - you need to use Partition Magic to add a file system or reformat for NTFS or FAT32

As mentioned by others above this partition is a special boot partition which is supposed to make it so you can take a few relatively simple steps to restore the system to it's original configuration. (FWIW, this restoration process is normally relatively idiot proof and even easier than using ghost as long as the restore data hasn't been deleted) Depending upon the system configuration deleting this partition could also make the system entirely unbootable so I would advise not to mess with it if the drive is the original boot drive.
That said..... The partition can be deleted from within Windows 2000/XP/Vista by running a command prompt and then Diskpart. (fdisk in Win 95/98) Using Diskpart type Help for a list of commands and be absolutely sure you know what your doing so you don't delete the wrong partition.
