Q. If the copied-from HDD has a bad sector, is it still
possible to continue the copy operation?
A. No, it’s not. The Disk Jockey does not have a sector-skip
function; hence if there is a problem reading a particular
sector from the copied-from HDD, the copy operation
ceases, and reports an error.
Q. How long does the copy operation take?
A. It depends on the capacity of the copied-from and the
copied-to HDD. In our testing, a 40GB HDD was copied in
approximately 20 minutes.
Q. When copying HDD’s, what happens to the software
license?
A. The Disk Jockey is a tool to help duplicate the HDD.
Please check with the software manufacturer(s) regarding
licensing issues.
Q. Whenever I try to perform an operation with the
Disk Jockey, i.e. copy, test, erase, I immediately hear a

presses a button and then the Disk Jockey takes over.
Beeping from the Disk Jockey typically means a bad drive,
however is can also be due to improper cabling, non-
UDMA drives, drives jumpered as slave instead of master,
etc. We will now list the most common reasons for beeping:
