6.1 Main Setup

6.1.1 HPa Check

The Host Protected Area (HPA), sometimes referred to as the Hidden Protected Area, is a partition on
the hard drive that is not normally visible to an operating system.
Tap the 'ENT' button to change this option's setting.
• [ ] – HPA Check is disabled. The system will not check for HPA partitions.
‫٭‬
• [ ] – HPA Check is enabled (default). When HPA Check is enabled the duplicator will support
Host Protection Areas. When you duplicate a Master drive that contains HPA, the system will
detect the HPA partition, unlock it, copy the area and then re-lock the area once duplication is
complete.

6.1.2 DCo Check

A Device Configuration Overlay (DCO), is a partition on the hard drive that is not normally visible
to an operating system. The DCO can report to the system that supported features are nonexistent or
that the drive is smaller in capacity than it actually is.
Tap the 'ENT' button to change this option's setting.
• [ ] – DCO Check is disabled (default). The system will not check for DCO partitions.
‫٭‬
• [ ] – DCO Check is enabled. When DCO Check is enabled the duplicator will support Device
Configuration Overlay configurations. When you duplicate a Master drive that contains a DCO
partition, detect the DCO partition, unlock it, copy the area and then re-lock the area once
duplication is complete.

6.1.3 Keep Capacity

The Keep Capacity option allows you to lock the amount of free space on the Target drives so the total
disk capacity appears the same as the Source drive.
Tap the 'ENT' button to change this option's setting.
• [ ] – Keep Capacity is disabled (default). The system will leave any unused capacity on Target
drives as unallocated space. Example, if you use Brief Copy to duplicate a 250GB Master HDD
to a 500GB Target HDD, when the duplication completes the 500GB Target disk will appear as
500GB drive with a 250GB active partition and 250GB of unallocated space.
• [ ‫٭‬ ] – Any unused space will be separated into an HPA partition. Example, if you use Brief Copy
to duplicate a 250GB Master HDD to a 500GB Target HDD, when the duplication completes the
500GB Target disk will appear as a 250GB drive with zero unallocated space.
