Operating Instructions
Getting Started:
To make a duplicate copy of your hard drive, please remove the hard drive from
your computer.
Please make sure the target/blank drive has the same or higher capacity than
your source hard drive. The duplication will not start if the target drive has
smaller capacity than the source drive.
It is recommended to use the same capacity blank/target hard drive as your
source drive because you are making an exact ghost copy of your original hard
drive. For example, if your original hard drive (source with data) is 80GB, the
duplicated/ghost copy will also be 80GB even if you use a higher capacity drive.
Warning: All data on the target drive will be erased.
