Hi Brian,

Here is a link to 'EaseUS Partition Master' which is a free download.

Use your B2 to format the new HDD. You don't need any special software

Remove the dongle from USB A

Plug the disk into USB A then power up the B2

On the front panel using the round knob control, select (Main menu > Settings > Maintenance > Format USB A)

or you can sue USB C if the HDD doesn't draw much power

Hi Paul

All good . Impressed with the Toshiba Canvio , good value for the money and using Easeus was simple . Thanks for the advice.
