This Toshiba I bought under the name "Intenso" and I operate on a computer with Windows XP. XP directed no partitions in the new Advenced format (= 4 KB instead of 512 B blocks). To solve this problem you need two things: 1. Search the Internet "PAT_Toshiba_edition_ea.exe". This tool makes the partitions for XP. 2. Set up new partitions only with modern external tools, such as mini-tool-Partition Wizard. It is repeatedly pointed out that the disk is slower in this case. While this is true, but in practice that falls in an exchange of little consequence, since the plates per se have become faster. The "umgemappte" new Toshiba with me is, for example, still faster than the old Samsung 103UJ from the year 2009. You have to know when using XP with these advanced panels, what you do, then you have no problems and no big performance losses. Long-term forecasts I can not give that disk is surprisingly quiet and very fast!
