Setup

This menu will reveal submenus related to copy area, skip bad sector, and setting language. Scroll to select “6. Utility”, then press “OK” to view the submenus.

Copy Mode
There are 4 submenu modes. Scroll to select “Copy Mode”, then press “OK.” Then scroll through to select one of the four copy methods.

• Selecting the Proper Copy Modes
  Example: There are two defined partitions in a 500GB device. The charts below illustrate what portion would be duplicated.
  

  1. System and Files
     Copies data and skips empty space. Only supports standard formats. Scroll to select “System and Files”, then press “OK” to save the copy method. Allows user to copy source device’s System and Files, instead of the entire device. The system will analyze the source device and identify the data area to copy. If the source device’s data is within the target device’s capacity, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/lvm, and HFS/HFS+/HFSX are supported in this copy mode. Only 120G data area will be copied.

  2. All Partitions
     Copy or skip HPA, DCO, unknown partitions, modified formats, etc. defined by settings. Scroll to select “All Partitions”, then press “OK” to save the copy method. The target device’s capacity must be equal to or larger than the source device’s capacity. 350GB of all Partitions along with its contents will be copied.

  3. Whole Device
     Copies all source data, bit-by-bit. Scroll to select “Whole Device”, then press “OK” to save the copy method. Copies the whole source device, irrespective of content, format, partition, or empty space. This mode does not analyze the data. All 500GB of data will be copied.

  4. Percentage (%)
     Select percentage of source capacity to copy. Scroll to select “Percentage”, set the upper and lower %, then press “OK” to save the copy method.

Only copies the selected area.

Copy GPT Backup Area
Disabling this function makes the duplicator ignore the GPT backup area, and thus allows the duplicator to copy from a big capacity device to a small capacity device(s).

Note
The partition size of the source HDD should be smaller than target capacity. Otherwise, it is recommended to leave the GPT backup area intact.

Caution
GPT backup areas will be rebuilt automatically the next time Windows reboots. For Linux, tools such as gdisk can rebuild these backups.

HPA Copy Mode
This menu contains submenus related to HPA Copy Modes Scroll to select “HPA Copy Mode”, then press “OK” to view the submenus.

1. Do Not Copy HPA
   This menu contains submenu settings from which users can select. Scroll to select “Copy HPA Area >> Do Not Copy HPA”, then press “OK” view submenu settings.

   • Keep Target HPA
     Does not copy HPA data but keeps target device ‘s original HPA setting. Scroll to select “Keep Target HPA”, then press “OK” to save this setting.

   • Clear Target HPA
     Does not copy HPA data and clears target device’s HPA setting. Scroll to select “Clear Target HPA”, then press “OK” to save this setting.

2. Setting Target HPA
   Copies HPA setting from source device to target.
   Scroll to select “HPA Copy Modes >> Copy HPA Settings”, then press “OK” to save this setting.

3. Copy and Setting
   Copies HPA setting and data from source device to target. Scroll to select “HPA Copy Modes >> Copy All HPA”, then press “OK” to save this setting.

Caution
HPA function “Copy and Setting” may change the original parameter of target devices. To reset it, user must set “Clear HPA at Erase >> Clear HPA Setting” and then execute “4. Erase.”

Skip Bad Sectors
Scroll to select “Skip Bad Sectors”, then press “OK” to scroll through the available values for skipping bad sectors. If the device data is critical and needs to be a full clone, it is recommended to set “Skip Bad Sectors” at “0.” Bad sectors can be set as unlimited or at a value from 0 to 65,535.
Caution : The “Copy + Compare” function is advised for enhanced copy accuracy.
