EZ UpgradeHard Drive Upgrade Kit

EZ Upgrade kit is a complete hardware and software solution that makes upgrading

notebook hard drives fast and easy. This kit includes everything you will need to

quickly transfer all les, e-mail, settings, applications and the operating system

from the hard drive in your notebook to a new hard drive.

This Kit includes: Apricorn’s EZ Gig II , a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure

(USB 1.1 compatible), 1 meter USB cable, Auxiliary USB power cable, if additional

power is required.

Once the new drive is installed in the notebook, the old drive can be installed in EZ

Upgrade’s Hi-Speed USB 2.0 enclosure for an external storage and backup solution.

The EZ Gig II Data Transfer Utility that ships with EZ Upgrade is comprised of two

different modules: Disk Clone and Disk Image.

Disk Clone is perfect for upgrading hard drives. When you start your computer

with the EZ Gig II CD in your system, it automatically boots to EZ Gig II and give

you to option to clone your hard drive.

Disk Image is ideal for users who want a compressed image of their entire hard

drive or an individual partition. At its maximum setting, Image can compress data

up to half its original size. Since Disk Image compresses its backup, users have

enough space to keep backups from multiple dates and multiple computers.

Hard Drive Installation

Follow these steps to install the Hard Disk into the EZ Upgrade Enclosure:

Step 1 Turn the housing over and remove the set screw on the underside of

the lower case. Now, grasp the lower case and slide it backward for

approximately 1/4 inch, then lift it to separate from the upper case.

Step 2 PATA instructions for inserting the hard drive.

Separate the grey plastic base (grey sled with circuit board) from the

upper case to allow the drive to slide in cleanly. With the label side up

align the gold pins on the hard drive with the black socket on the EZ

Upgrade circuit board inlay. The sidewalls of the grey plastic base will

act as a guide, properly aligning the gold pins with the black socket and

ensuring a proper connection. Carefully slide the hard drive by placing

your thumb on the back edge and pushing it towards the black socket

until it is completely seated. If parts of the pins are still visible, the drive

is not completely seated.

Step 2 SATA instructions for inserting the hard drive.

Separate the grey plastic base (grey sled with circuit board) from the

upper case to allow the drive to slide in cleanly. With the label side up

place the hard drive between the grey sidewalls (which will act as a

guide) properly aligning the SATA blade connector with the black socket

on the EZ Upgrade circuit board inlay. Carefully slide the hard drive by

placing your thumb on the back edge and pushing it towards the black

socket until it is seated. The back edge of the hard drive will be ush

with the end of the grey plastic base when it is completely seated.

For Upgrades Proceed to Step 4. To permanently mount your old hard

drive proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 Turn over the circuit board and attach the hard drive with screws. Align

the latches of the lower case and upper case.

Step 4 Close the case by reversing the process described in step 1. Install the

fastening screw on the underside of the case to complete the assembly.

Connecting the Cables

You may need to connect two cables to the EZ Upgrade in order to

power the product correctly.

Step 1 For the Auxhiliary USB power cable: Plug the appropriate end into the

AC Adapter connector port on the EZ Upgrade and then connect the USB

side of the cable into an open USB port on your computer.

Step 2 For the USB Type B to USB cable: Plug USB Type B end into the open

port on the EZ Upgrade and then connect the other side of the cable

into a second open USB port on your computer.

USB Type B port and connector

Note: When using two cables always plug the auxhiliary USB

power cable in rst and the USB Type B to USB connector last.

EZ Gig II Software Introduction

The EZ Gig II Hard Drive Cloning and Upgrade Software is a disk duplication

program with many powerful features.

In ‘Disk Clone’ mode, EZ Gig II creates bootable copies of Hard Drives. It can copy

Disk Drives with multiple partitions, and even allow the user to set the sizes of the

partitions on the new drive. ‘Disk Clone’ is ideal for hard drive upgrades or creating

a disaster recovery backup.

In ‘Disk Imaging’ mode, EZ Gig II creates compressed images of the entire hard

drive or a partition stores them as an archived le to on external storage device.

EZ Gig II supports FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS Drive Partitions.

EZ Gig II also supports IDE, USB, SATA and IEEE1394 (FireWire) disk drives.

EZ Gig II runs as a stand-alone utility when booted directly from the CD ROM, but

can also be installed and run as a regular program from within Windows (when

used as a Windows program, EZ Gig II uses Windows device drivers to access disk

drives). Both methods have identical features, and present similar screen options

for the user.

Preparing for EZ Gig II Data Transfer

After many years of use, hard drives can become cluttered with unusable le

fragments and other le-system errors. Most le system errors are not immediately

obvious to the user, but can be identied and repaired with a few simple steps.

Although the steps below are not absolutely necessary to run EZ Gig, it’s best to

try and clean-up disk errors BEFORE they are copied over to the new drive.

Before running EZ Gig II we recommend you:

1) Clean up any le-system errors by running Windows ScanDisk (or

a similar disk cleanup utility) on your internal hard drive.

2) Defragment your hard drive using the Windows Disk-Defragment

Utility (or a similar disk defragment utility) on your internal hard

drive.

3) Backup any critical les or data.

4) Attach the AC adapter to your laptop, and make sure it is not

running on battery power.

5) Attach the USB cable from your computer to the EZ Upgrade.

6) If you plan on running EZ Gig II from the Bootable CD-ROM: You

may need to change your laptop’s BIOS boot order. You will nd

these options inside the laptop’s BIOS Boot Option Menu. The

BIOS Boot Options menu allows the user to select the preferred

boot device when the laptop starts up. EZ Gig II can boot directly

from the CD-ROM but you must check the BIOS Boot settings to

make sure that “CD-ROM” is higher in the boot order than the C:

drive.

pg. 10 www.apricorn.com

EZ UpgradeHard Drive Upgrade Kit

EZ Gig II has the ability to be a bootable disk transfer utility that can copy hard

drives without booting to the Windows operating system. To use EZ Gig II as a

stand-alone utility, your Computer must be able to boot from a CD-ROM, and the

CD-ROM must be set as the rst boot device in your computer’s System BIOS.

NOTE: The System BIOS controls basic hardware functions in computer, and

is the rst screen that appears when booting your computer (i.e. before the

Windows Startup Logo appears on screen). Consult your Computer’s User Manual

for instructions on how to enter the System BIOS and change the boot order.

To Run EZ Gig II directly from the CD-ROM

1) Insert the EZ Gig II CD into your CD-ROM Drive.

2) Turn on the Computer and go immediately into the system BIOS

screen.

3) Set the CD-ROM as the First Boot device. Save your changes and

Exit the BIOS to reboot the computer.

Helpful tip:

♦ Some newer computers display a “Boot Options” message during

startup. Pressing the boot options key allows the user to temporarily

change the boot-order of the system. Use this option to boot from the

CD-ROM without changing the BIOS settings. The actual keys to activate

this option will depend upon the manufacturer (some BIOS use the <F12>

key, others use the <ESC> key), and the boot option is only available for

a few seconds at startup before the BIOS falls back into the normal boot

order.

4) Once the BIOS is set correctly, the CD-ROM should boot-up the com-

puter and start the EZ Gig II software.
