10.What is the difference between "cloning" and "imaging"?
Disk Cloning is a bit for bit copy of one drive to another. In doing so, a Clone
can boot and run the operating system. The data is exactly the same on both
drives.
Disk Imaging copies the data on the drive and stores it as a file. This file
can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image is not
bootable.
11. Can I make a clone of my drive and put it in a different machine?
A clone is for disaster recovery purposes (i.e. when your drive fails and you
need to get back up and running). You should not make a clone of your drive
and put it in another or multiple machines. There are licensing issues for the
software on your machine.
12. Is it possible to restore a single file from an image stored on my EZ
Upgrade?
Yes. EZ Gig II allows you to mount an image as a "virtual" hard drive. You can
access this "virtual" drive as if it were a physical hard drive. You would use
your Windows Explorer or My Computer and copy the file or folder and
paste it on to your hard drive.
13. Why am I unable to save a file larger than 4GB on to my EZ
Upgrade?
Fat 32 has a file size limitation of 4GB. If you are using Windows 98 SE or ME,
FAT32 is the only option you have available. If you are using Windows 2000
or XP, you can reformat the drive to NTFS. By reformatting the drive to NTFS,
you eliminate the 4GB limitation, but you will also lose any data stored on the
drive. Either reformat to NTFS before using it for the first time, or backup the
data before reformatting.
1. I am unable to format my 0GB or larger EZ Upgrade with FAT in
Windows 000 or XP?
Windows 2000 and XP limit a FAT32 partition to 32GB. If you choose to format
the drive in a larger partition, you will need to use the NTFS file system.
