Plug and Play Installation
EZ-Backit Pro will install as a “plug-and-play” removable hard drive in
Windows 95/98/ME and Windows 2000. These Operating systems
already contain “built-in” device drivers that will work with EZ-Backit
Pro. No additional driver files are required. The complete installa-
tion instructions for each OS are located in the “README.TXT”
file on your EZ-Backit Pro CD-ROM. Depending on your system and
OS, You may have to install the hardware device drivers using the “Add
New Hardware” option inside the Windows Control Panel:
Windows 95 & 98, Windows ME:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the
Wizard should detect the EZ-Backit Pro as a new ATA
device. Windows will install a “Standard IDE/ESDI Hard
Disk Controller” as the device driver.
When installed correclty, you should see this new driver
listed under “Hard Disk Controllers” in the Windows “De-
vice manager” screen.
Windows 2000:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the
Wizard should detect the EZ-Backit Pro as an ATA de-
vice. Windows will install a “PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Control-
ler” as the device driver.
When installed correctly, you should see this new driver
listed under “IDE/ATAPI Controllers” in the Windows 2000
“Device Manger” screen.
Once the device drivers are installed, the EZ-Backit Hard Drive will ap-
pear as an additional hard drive in Windows “My Computer” (If you have
already used the EZ-GIG Drive-Copy, you should see that the EZ-Backit
Pro already contains the same files as your internal drive). Under Win-
dows 95/98/ME and 2000, the EZ-Backit is a “hot-swappable” device.
You can insert the EZ-Backit connector while the laptop is powered
on, and Windows will automatically detect the new drive. Remember:
use the Windows “PCMCIA Card Services” (Win95/98/ME) or the “Un-
plug and Eject Hardware” (Win2000) to stop access to the card before
physically removing it!
