Partition And Format; Copy System Files; Copy Data From An Existing Hard Drive To A New Hard Drive - Western Digital WD Caviar Installation Manual

partitions and formats the hard drive and installs EZ-BIOS on
the boot sector of the hard drive.

Partition and Format

EZ-Drive automatically partitions and formats your hard drive.
You can accept the EZ-Drive default partition sizes or create
custom partitions. Read Question 12 in the Frequently Asked
Questions section before partitioning your hard drive.
If your system BIOS is set to support the full capacity of all
hard drives in your system, you can use Fdisk and Format to set
up your new hard drive. See the section Using the Fdisk and
Format Utilities (FAT 16). However, we recommend using
EZ-Drive, it is a faster, easier, and safer way to partition and
format your new hard drive.
IMPORTANT. DOS and Windows have a 2.1 GB partition
limit. If your hard drive is larger than 2.1 GB, you must create
multiple partitions. Do not create a partition larger than
2.1 GB.

Copy System Files

EZ-Drive copies system files needed to boot your new hard
drive.

Copy Data from an Existing Hard Drive to a New Hard Drive

For DOS, Windows 3.1x, and Windows 95 systems, use this
feature to copy the contents (operating systems, data, hidden
files, and programs) of an existing hard drive to your new hard
drive. If you use this feature, you do not need to reinstall your
operating systems and software programs on your new hard
drive.
