EZ UpgradeHard Drive Upgrade Kit

Introduction

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 SATA or PATA/IDE hard drive

whether you have a Windows or Mac operating system.

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.

This Kit includes: Apricorn’s Upgrade Suite CD, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hard drive

enclosure for SATA or PATA/IDE hard drives and a USB cable.

The EZ Gig II Data Transfer Utility is included for Windows PC’s and 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 bootable CD in your drive, it automatically boots to EZ Gig II and

gives you the 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.

SuperDuper! is included for Mac laptops.

SuperDuper! is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless,

because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear,

friendly interface is understandable, easy to use and it runs beautifully on both Intel

and Power PC Macs! SuperDuper’s interface conrms all your actions in simple,

clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what you intended.

Hard Drive Installation

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

Step 1 Hold the EZ UP enclosure with both hands. Locate the OPEN switch

(diagram 1) and with one hand over the opposite end of the drive slide

the OPEN switch in the direction of the arrow to release the hard drive

tray. The hard drive tray will slide out of the enclosure into your other

hand. (diagram 2)

Step 2 Instructions for inserting the hard drive. (diagram 3)

For SATA hard drives:

Hold the hard drive tray in one hand with the SATA connector (the

connector that is closest to the plastic end cap where you connect the

cables) away from your body. Now, with the label side up grab the sides

of the hard drive with the other hand and set the hard drive into the

tray with the SATA blade connector away from your body. Carefully

slide the hard drive by placing your thumb on the back edge and

pushing it towards the black socket facing away from your body until it

is completely seated. The sidewalls of the hard drive tray will act as a

guide, properly aligning the SATA blade connector.

For PATA/IDE hard drives:

Hold the hard drive tray in one hand with the PATA/IDE connector (the

connector that is furthest from the plastic end cap where you connect

the cables) away from your body. Now, with the label side up grab the

sides of the hard drive with the other hand set drive into the tray with

the PATA/IDE gold pins away from your body. Carefully slide the hard

drive by placing your thumb on the back edge and pushing it towards

the aligning the gold pins with the black connector facing away from

your body until it is completely seated. The sidewalls of the hard drive

tray will act as a guide, properly aligning the gold pins (PATA/IDE) with

the black socket and ensuring a proper connection. On PATA/IDE hard

drives, if parts of the pins are still visible, the drive is not completely

seated.

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

drive proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 Turn over the hard drive tray and secure the hard drive with the four

screws.

Step 4 Once the drive is secured, slide it back into the tray. Make sure the

Apricorn logo is facing up and the hard drive tray slides into the

enclosure with the label side of the hard drive facing up. When the tray

completely slides in you will hear the latch snap shut as the hard drive

tray locks into place.

Step 5 Connect the USB Mini end into the open port on the EZ Upgrade and

then connect the other side of the cable into an open USB port on your

computer. (diagram 4)

If additional power is needed use the optional AC power adapter:

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.

EZ Gig II (CD-ROM boot)

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.

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

puter and start the EZ Gig II software.

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.

EZ Gig II installation instructions for Windows Vista:

Windows Vista’s User Account Control helps stop unauthorized changes to

your computer. The User Account Control window pops up in Administrator

Approval Mode whenever a program tries to install on your Windows Vista

system. If the User Account Control window does not pop up, please skip

to the EZ Gig II installation.

When the User Account Control window pops up there will be a warning

symbol and message that reads, “A program needs your permission

to continue.” The instructions will read “If you started this program,

Continue.”

Please click the Continue button and proceed to the EZ Gig II main

installation screen.

Changethedefault“PowerOptions”forWindowsVistaoperating

systems:

By default Windows Vista operating system will “Turn display off” after

20 minutes and “Put the computer to sleep” after 1 hour of keyboard

or mouse inactivity. It will take more than 20 minutes to backup most

of today’s larger hard drives. If the system display is turned off or the

computer goes to sleep during the backup, your backup may fail. This

will not damage your original hard drive in any way but you will have to

restart the backup. To avoid this issue change the default “Power Options”

before starting the backup on Windows Vista Systems.

From your Window Vista Start menu type “Power Options” in the “Start

Search bar” and the “Power Options” program will be listed in the results

window. Alternately you can go to Start Menu – Control Panel – Power

Options. Click on “Power Options” to launch the program. On the left

window click on “Choose when to turn off display” and make the changes

as listed below.

Turn Display Off Never

Put computer to sleep Never

Once you have completed the backup go to “Power Options” and restore

the default settings.
