Section 20: Error while partitioning a new drive Section 21: PowerQuest Partition Magic and copying partitions with EZ Drive Section 22: EZ Drive not able to read an existing partition ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 1: Upgrading an older version of EZ-Drive to 9.11W. You can upgrade an older version of EZ-Drive on your hard drive to the current 9.11W version by following these steps: Note: This procedure will only update the EZ-BIOS code in the boot sector of the hard drive. It will not repartition or reformat your existing drive(s). 1. Place a bootable DOS, Windows 95, or Windows 98 Startup Disk in drive A: and reboot the computer. 2. When the DOS prompt appears, place the EZ-Drive disk in drive A:. Type EZ /MBR and press {ENTER}. Note: When typing EZ /MBR, make sure that there is a space between EZ and the /, or the program will not run properly. EZ-Drive will begin updating the EZ-BIOS code in the boot sector of the hard drive with the current version. When finished, it displays the message: "EZ-Drive re-installed on drive 1" "Press any key to continue" 3. Press any key on the keyboard. EZ-Drive repeats the above process if other drives in the system have EZ-BIOS code installed. 4. After reinstalling on all affected hard drives, remove the EZ Drive floppy and reboot the machine. The new version of EZ Drive will now be controlling the drive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 2: Migrating from Ontrack Disk Manager to EZ-Drive. If you have Ontrack Disk Manager software installed on your hard drive, you can migrate to EZ-Drive without setting up a new drive or reformatting an existing drive by following these steps: Note: Be sure to back all data before executing these steps. 1. Place the EZ-Drive disk in drive A: and reboot the computer. 2. After EZ-Drive loads, press {ENTER} twice to display the Main Menu. 3. Choose "Advanced Options," then choose "EZ-BIOS Setup." If EZ-Drive prompts you to select a drive, choose the boot drive (usually Drive 1). 4. EZ-Drive displays the following message: "This drive does not have EZ-BIOS installed." "Press Y to install EZ-BIOS now." Press Y. 5. EZ-Drive displays the following message: "EZ-Drive has detected a drive with Disk Manager installed. Since Disk Manager is not compatible with EZ-Drive you may not setup any drives until Disk Manager is removed." "Press Y to replace Disk Manager with EZ-BIOS" Press Y. 6. EZ-Drive displays the following message: "Disk Manager replaced with EZ-BIOS." Remove the EZ-Drive disk from the floppy drive. Press four times to exit EZ Drive, then press {ENTER}. The computer reboots and EZ-BIOS loads instead of Disk Manager. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 3: Creating FAT32 partitions with EZ-Drive. EZ-Drive 9.11W fully supports Microsoft's FAT32 file system, however, the option for creating FAT32 partitions with EZ-Drive is only available if system files that support FAT32 are detected (e.g. system files for Windows 95B or Windows 98). FAT32 partitions must also be 512 MB or greater in size. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 4: Copying drives with multiple partitions. EZ Drive has the ability to copy data from an existing drive to a new drive. However, it does not have the capability of copying multiple partitions into a single partition. Attempting to do so will overwrite any information on the destination partition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 5: Notes on the Backup/Restore Track 0 feature. During EZ-Drive installation, EZ-Drive automatically creates a backup of track 0 and stores it on the hard drive. You can create backups of track 0 at any time by using the Backup/Restore Track 0 feature found under the Advanced Options menu. However, the total number of stored backups is limited to 10 (0 through 9) for each hard drive in the system. If more than 10 backups are created, the first backup that was created will be eliminated. EZ Drive works on a first-in first-out basis. EZ-Drive must also reserve a cylinder at the end of the drive in order to store the backups, the utilized space in this cylinder will not be reported as user addressable capacity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 6: BIOS boot options. Some BIOS' feature a 'Boot Order' option that allows the computer to boot from other hard drives in the system. With this feature enabled, a particular hard drive in the system can be designated as the bootable drive, which will cause the computer to boot from this drive even if it is moved to another position (e.g. primary slave or secondary master). If your BIOS supports this feature then you must remember to update the Boot Order option whenever drives are switched or reconfigured. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 7: BIOS POST error messages. Some BIOS' are not capable of supporting hard drives that are 8.4 GB in size or larger. This may cause the BIOS to display various POST (Power On Self Test) error messages during the boot process when such a drive is connected to the system. Even if EZ-BIOS is installed on the hard drive the BIOS may still continue to di
