7 How To Start Duplicating HDD 3 How To Start Duplicating HDD? 1. Start duplication Step 1 Prepare a source HDD and target HDD (*It is strongly recommended to the size of source and target are the same) ㅦㅦSATA interface applies on the duplicator, no matter SATA 1.0/2.0/3.0 are all supported. ㅦㅦAssemble adaptor is required if user needs to copy device with other interface, e.g. IDE. Step 2 Place source HDD at source port, targets HDD to other ports. 7

8 3 How To Start Duplicating HDD Step 3 Use to select "1. Copy" then press "OK". Duplication will proceed. When all the target HDD ports are plugged, duplicator would start copying automatically. If not all are plugged, the number of targets shows on LCD. Press "OK" to start. The information below shows on LCD during duplication. Step 4 Quantity of copy OK/Fail and duplication time would show on LCD after duplication completes. ㅦㅦData in the target HDD will be damaged after the copy process completed. Users need to backup the existing data before duplication processing. ㅦㅦWe do not suggest that user removes HDD during copy process because this action may damage HDD. 2. Set-up before start duplication Please pay attention to the following 2 settings before copy. ❶ Set copy area of HDD Choose appropriate copy area can greatly reduce operation time and have better efficiency. There are four copy modes with different copy area : 1 System and Files, 2 All available partition area, 3 Whole HDD, 4 User set the percentage range of HDD. 8

9 How To Start Duplicating HDD 3 System and Files (fast copy/compare) It will copy source HDD's System and Files instead of the whole HDD. The system will analyze the source HDD and identify the data area to copy. As long as the source HDD's data within the target HDD's space, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64, NTFS, ext2/3/4, HFS +, HFS, HFSX are supported for this copy mode. Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD". All Partitions This mode will bit by bit copy all of the partitions no matter there is data exist or not. The capacity of target HDD has to be bigger than the partition required capacity. 9

10 3 How To Start Duplicating HDD Source Duplication Target Partition 1(150G) Data 30G Partition 1(200G) Data 90G 500GB 500GB Only 350 GB partition area will be copied, it takes 48 mintues. Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD". Whole HDD It is to copy the whole source HDD, no matter of the content, format, partition or empty space. This mode will take much more time to duplicate the source HDD completely. Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD". 10

11 Percentage(%) Copy the percentage selected of source HDD. How To Start Duplicating HDD 3 Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD". Below is one example of copy area selection e.g. There are two partitions in one 500GB HDD. Data and OS(120GB) are saved in the partition. ㅦㅦIt is recommended to execute Compare after Copy to confirm the accuracy. ㅦㅦIt is recommended to copy data by function 3.Copy+Compare. 11

12 3 How To Start Duplicating HDD ❷ Set tolerance of bad track Select function 6.2 Skip Error to set the number of error you accept to skip during copy process. If the HDD is very critical for content correctness, it is strongly recommended to keep the Skip Error to be "0". 3. Troubleshooting of copy fails ㅦㅦToo many bad track in HDD causes copy fail. ㅦㅦTo check the setting of 6.2 Skip Error. ㅦㅦMake sure SATA cable is connected properly. ㅦㅦMake sure the capacity of source HDD is smaller than target. 12

13 How To Confirm Copy Accuracy? 4 How To Confirm Copy Accuracy? 1. To Confirm Accuracy by Compare Function Step1 Prepare source HDD and target HDD. Step 2 Place source HDD at source port, targets HDD to other ports. Step 3 Use to select "2.Compare" then press "OK". Data compare will proceed. When all the target HDD ports are plugged, duplicator would start copying automatically. If not all are plugged, the number of targets shows on LCD. Press "OK" to start. 13

14 4 How To Confirm Copy Accuracy? 2. Setting of Compare Function It is able to set compare area of HDD at function 6.1 There are four different compare area for selection : 1 System and Files, 2 All available partition area, 3 Whole HDD, 4 Percentage Compare. It is recommended to execute Compare after Copy to confirm the accuracy. 14

15 How To Erase HDD? How To Erase HDD? 5 Please notice the data within the HDD will be erased after executing the function. 1. How to Erase? Step1 Prepare the HDD for erasure. Step 2 Insert the HDD into target port. Function Erase Master is to determine erase source HDD or not. The default setting is "Disable erase source HDD". Step 3 Use to select the desired erase method, then press "OK". Data Erase will proceed. 15

16 5 How To Erase HDD? 2. Setting of Erase Function There are five erase methods: Quick Erase, Full Erase, DoD Erase, DoD Erase Comp and Secure Erase. Quick Erase The function will ONLY erase the index of the HDD. It is the quickest way to erase HDD. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function. Full Erase The function will erase the whole sectors on the target HDD. It will take longer time than quick erase. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function. DoD Erase This is to comply with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD 5220) standard to fully erase the HDD three times bit by bit to rewrite HDD to guarantee the data was deleted. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function. 16

17 How To Erase HDD? 5 We do not suggest that user removes HDD during erase process because this action may damage HDD. DoD Erase Comp Besides DoD erase, this function will also execute compare function to make sure the random bit was correctly written. This way of erase is to erase HDD over each sector three times: the first time with zeros (0x00), second time with 0xFF and the third time with random characters. There is one final pass to compare random characters by reading. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function. 17

18 5 How To Erase HDD? Secure Erase The international authorized high standard Secure Erase function. It overwrites every single track on the hard drive with "00". Even HPA/DCO or other data area which are not able to load, can be erased all together Please do not disrupt during Secure Erase, otherwise it would cause irretrievable error on HDD, which turns the HDD unusable. 3. Select random Pattern Overwrite by fixed method Overwrite by random method 18

19 Update BIOS 6 Update BIOS 1. How to Update BIOS? Update by HDD Step 1 Prepare one HDD and connect it to source port, then select function Create update HDD. Step 2 Format the HDD. ㅦㅦBefore updating firmware, one FAT, 2GB partition will be formatted in the HDD. That would reduce searching time, and speed up firmware update. ㅦㅦThe data saved in this HDD will be erased. Step 3 Download the latest firmware from PC and save it in the HDD. 19

20 6 Update BIOS Step 4 Insert HDD into source port (first port), select function Update BIOS. Update would complete in one minute. 20
