Sorry, this isn't really clear.
- what do you mean with "partitioned to 80g"?
- is the laptop partitioned or the external drive?
- why did you have it partitioned?
- what do you mean with "ringed" and "still"?
- what does "not operate" mean?
- do you use a USB 2 or USB 3 connection on your Dell?
- is it a USB 2 or USB 3 external?
- is it externally powered or via the USB?
- what file system on that Toshiba (FAT, NTFS?)
- does it work on another PC or laptop?

Hi, I have bought a Toshiba 1t but I can't get it to work.
I have a DELL laptop and just had it partitioned to 80g,do I have to delete the partition to operate the TOSHIBA?
I went to COMPUTER/manage/disk management and Tosh is there( healthy, active, primary partition) but Dell hardrive partition is still "ringed" and Tosh will not operate, what am not doing correctly? help please
