Operating Basics

Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD 

Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the 

computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe 

position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk 

contact.

When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and 

the icon in the Taskbar notification area will changed to the protection state. 

This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds 

pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.

You can change the TOSHIBA HDD Protection settings by using the 

TOSHIBA HDD Protection window. To open the window, click Start J All 

Programs J TOSHIBA J Utilities J HDD Protection Settings. The 

window can also be started from the icon on the Taskbar or from the 

Control Panel.

You can choose whether to enable or disable TOSHIBA HDD Protection.

This function can be set to four levels. The sensitivity levels in which 

vibrations, impacts and their similar signs are detected can be set to OFF, 

1, 2 and 3 in ascending order. Level 3 is recommended for better protection 

of the computer. However, when the computer is used in a mobile 

environment or in other unstable conditions, setting the detection level to 3 

could result in frequent execution of TOSHIBA HDD Protection, which will 

slow Hard Disk Drive reading and writing. Set a lower detection level when 

the speed of Hard Disk Drive reading and writing is a priority.

TOSHIBA HDD Protection is enabled.

TOSHIBA HDD Protection is active. The hard disk 

drive head is in a safe position.

TOSHIBA HDD Protection is disabled.
