The Leader in Personal Storage

5. What Mac software is included with my DriveWire?
SuperDuper!
is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless,
because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly
clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use. And it runs beautifully
on both Intel and Power PC Macs! SuperDuper’s interface confirms all your
actions in simple, clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what
you intended.
6. What is the difference between “cloning” and “imaging”?
Disk Cloning
is an exact 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 file. This file
can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image is not
bootable.
7. Can I make a clone of my drive and put it in a different machine?
A clone is for disaster recovery purposes (i.e. when your drive fails and you
need to get back up and running). No, you should not make a clone of your
drive and put it in another or multiple machines. There are licensing issues for
the software on your machine.
8. Why am I unable to save a file larger than 4GB on to my Hard
drive?
Fat 32 has a file size limitation of 4GB. 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 first time, or backup the
data before reformatting.
9. I am unable to format my 40GB or larger hard drive with FAT 32 in
Windows 2000 or XP?
Windows 000 and XP limit a FAT partition to GB. If you choose to format
the drive in a larger partition, you will need to use the NTFS file system.
10. Can I boot Windows to my USB Device?
No. Because of limitations (both hardware and software) Windows is currently
prevented from booting and running off a USB drive.
