    Q. Does the Logicube OmniClone Xi support Western Digital(R) "Advanced Format" drives with 4K (4,096 bytes) sectors? A. Yes. The Logicube OmniClone Xi supports these type of drives. Please check with Western Digital(R) to find out if your hard drive model has this feature.
  • Page 85 Q: Can the Logicube OmniClone Xi clone between dissimilar drives? A: Yes. For Master drives that contain FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS partitions, the Logicube OmniClone Xi will take care of all the necessary adjustments to ensure that a Target drive of any size will be valid and bootable.
  • Page 86 On the Target drive, with the Verify setting enabled, the Logicube OmniClone Xi will also skip over any bad sectors. If the Verify setting is disabled, the Logicube OmniClone Xi will not detect bad sectors on the Target and the cloning procedure will continue regardless.
  • Page 87: Troubleshooting Guide

    The type of cloning operation performed can also affect transfer speeds. When cloning FAT16 partitions, it is sometimes necessary to change the cluster class of the partition. In such cases, the Logicube OmniClone Xi utilizes a more complex method of ensuring it creates a valid Target drive.
  • Page 88 Defragment cannot handle the increased number of clusters that exist when Targets larger than 8 GB have been cloned from Master drives smaller than 8 GB. To prevent the problem from occurring, change the Logicube OmniClone Xi default CleverCopy mode to Selective Partitions™. Then select the Defragment copy method for the partition(s) you wish to clone.
  • Page 89 Q: Why does the cloning session stop with an “Invalid MBR” error message? A: This error comes up when the partition table or boot sector contains corrupt data. Despite the error, the Master drive may still boot in a PC. Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual...
