Hardware installation:
Ez backit pro will install as a “plug-and-play” removable hard drive in Windows
98SE/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. These operating systems already
contain “built-in” device drivers that will work with Ez backit pro. No additional
driver les are required. 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 98 Second Edition, 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 correctly, you should see this new driver listed under
“Hard Disk Controllers” in the Windows “Device Manager” screen.
Windows 2000:
During the “Add New Hardware” installation process, the Wizard
should detect the Ez backit pro as an ATA device. Windows will install
a “PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller” 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 appear 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
les as your internal drive). Under Windows 98SE/ME, 2000, and XP, the Ez backit
pro is a “hot-swappable” device. You can insert the Ez backit pro connector while
the laptop is powered on, and Windows will automatically detect the new drive.
Remember: use the Windows “PCMCIA Card Services” (98SE/ME) or the “Unplug
and Eject Hardware” (Win2000 and XP) to stop access to the card before physically
removing it!
