The Leader in Personal Storage

8. What is the difference between “cloning” and “imaging”?

Disk Cloning is a bit for bit copy of one drive to another. In doing so, a

Clone can boot and run the operating system. The data is exactly the

same on both drives.

Disk Imaging copies the data on the drive and stores it as a ﬁ le. This ﬁ le

can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image

is not bootable.

9. Is it possible to restore a single ﬁ le from an image stored on my

EZ Bus?

Yes. EZ Gig II allows you to mount an image as a “virtual” hard drive.

You can access this “virtual” drive as if it was a physical hard drive. You

would use your

Windows Explorer

My Computer

and copy the ﬁ le

or folder and paste it on to your hard drive.

10. Why am I unable to save a ﬁ le larger than 4GB on to my EZ

Bus?

Fat 32 has a ﬁ le size limitation of 4GB. If you are using Windows 98

SE or ME, FAT32 is the only option you have available. If you are using

Windows 2000 or XP, you can reformat the drive to NTFS. By reformatting

the drive to NTFS, you eliminate the 4GB limitation, but you will also lose

any data stored on the drive. Either reformat to NTFS before using it for

the ﬁ rst time, or backup the data before reformatting.

11. I am unable to format my 80GB or larger EZ Bus with FAT 32 in

Windows 2000 or XP?

Windows 2000 and XP limit a FAT32 partition to 32GB. If you choose to

format the drive in a larger partition, you will need to use the NTFS ﬁ le

system.
