After many years of use, hard drives can become cluttered with unusable le frag-
ments and other le-system errors. Most le system errors are not immediately
obvious to the user, but can be identied 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 run-
ning on battery power.
5) Attach the USB cable from your computer to the DriveWire.
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.
4. SOFTWARE
www.apricorn.com 7
Upgrade Suite CD is a bootable disk with EZ Gig II data transfer utility that can
copy hard drives without booting to the Windows operating system. To use
Upgrade Suite 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 start EZ Gig II directly from the CD-ROM
1) Insert the Upgrade Suite 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.

Cloning your hard drive with Disk Clone
EZ Gig II allows you to clone your hard drive from inside the Windows
operating system or by booting directly to the Upgrade Suite CD provided in
the kit. All of the procedures are identical and you will skip step number 2.
If your system is running normally we recommend that you clone your hard
drive by starting up the program inside the windows operating system.

DriveWire
