Appendix A: EZ-GIG Utility Menu
EZ-GIG Software has a utility menu that allows the user to customize
the transfer process. Press <Ctrl- U> at the transfer prompt to ac-
cess the Utilities Menu. Current EZ-GIG settings are listed at the
top of the Utilities Screen. The Utilities Menu functions are listed be-
low:
Source/Destination drive selection: <Ctrl-S> Allows the user
to manually select the “Source” and “Destination” drives.
Partitions Size Adjustment: <Ctrl - A> Allows the user to manu-
ally adjust the size of partitions on the new drive, or add extra par-
titions to the new drive.
FAT16 to FAT32 conversion: <Ctrl - C> Windows 95 OSR2
systems with FAT16 are automatically converted to FAT32 file sys-
tem during the transfer. This option allows the user to manually
enable/disable this conversion.
Drive Wiping: <Ctrl - W> Completely wipes the destination
drive, erasing ALL data.
Formatting Extra Space: <Ctrl - E> The default setting is “off.”
Activating this feature allows EZ-GIG to automatically format all extra
space on the new drive for use as data partitions.
Suspend Partition Transfer: <Ctrl-P> Allows the user to enable/
disable the transfer of the Suspend Partition.
Drive Duplication: <Ctrl - D> The source drive is duplicated
sector-by-sector. This process will only work on identical drives
(i.e. drives with the same physical geometry of cylinders, heads,
and sectors).
Big Drive Translation: <Ctrl - B> Some older hard drives need
a specific C/H/S translation to work properly in the system. This
option allows the user to change the EZ-GIG look-up method: ei-
ther “Assisted LBA,” or “Revised ECHS.”
IDE/BIOS Support: <Ctrl - I> This capability lets you decide
which mode of access for the transfer: BIOS, or IDE Direct.
