    Sometimes, function keys are dependent on an OEM program that is installed by your manufacturer - in your case, Toshiba.

    Look into the drivers/software page of your Toshiba model number and see if there is any software that controls the buttons/Fn keys.

    That might explain why one hard drive works and the other doesn't - one hard's OS has the program installed, the other doesn't.
