Chapter 3: Desktop Installation
Setting up your Hard Drive:
1. Run a disk utility on all partitions on the source hard drive to check for
file system errors. Turn the computer power off.
2. Attach your new hard drive to a new IDE Cable (not provided) and connect
the hard drive cable to the secondary IDE connector on the motherboard.
Running EZ-GIG:
1. Insert the bootable diskette labeled “EZ-Gig Data Transfer Utility” into
your floppy drive and turn on your system.
2. When the software initializes, your screen will display the IDE ID
Information. Without more than 2 drives and additional modifications to
the utilities menu, your source drive is your primary master and your
destination drive is your secondary master. If your new hard drive is being
installed in a system with more than two hard drives, EZ-GIG will identify
the Primary Master as the ‘Source Drive’ and the new bare drive as the
‘Destination Drive’. (See Appendix B for switching the source and destination
drive.)
3.
You are now ready to start the data transfer by pressing “Y” or for additional
features, press “Ctrl-U” to access the utilities menu. (See Appendix B for
Utilities Menu).
4. When the data transfer is complete, remove the floppy diskette and turn
OFF your computer.
5. Remove the old primary hard drive from the system. Move the connector
on the new drive from Secondary IDE to Primary IDE. The new drive will
now become your primary drive.
