5.2  Duplicating From a Storage Center

The Kanguru Mobile Clone hard drive duplicator allows you to turn a standard hard drive into a 

Storage Center. You can load images of your Master HDDs directly to the Storage Center providing 

you with a convenient way to store common duplication jobs.

5.2.1  Formatting a hard drive as a Storage Center

First you need to format a hard drive as a Storage Center:

1.  From the Main menu, 

hold

 the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu. 

2.  From the SETUP menu, 

tap

 the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the FORMAT SOURCE operation.

3.  Connect the hard drive that you want to use as a Storage Center to the side of the duplicator 

labeled “SOURCE”. 

4. 

Tap

 the ‘RUN’ button to execute the FORMAT SOURCE. 

Caution! 

Formatting will erase any 

data currently stored on the hard drive.

5.  A confirmation screen appears. 

Tap

 the ‘RUN’ button to proceed with formatting the hard drive 

as a Storage Center or 

tap

 the ‘SET’ button to cancel. 

Once the format has completed, tap any button to return to the SETUP menu. Your hard drive has now 

been formatted as a Storage Center. You can now load images of Master HDD’s to the Storage Center 

for convenient duplication.

Note: 

 A hard drive formatted as a Storage Center will not be recognized when connected directly to 

a computer. The Storage Center uses a proprietary format not recognized by most operating systems.

5.2.2  Loading a Master HDD image to the Storage Center

Once you have formatted a hard drive as a Storage Center, you can load images of your Master HDDs 

to the Storage Center. To load a Master HDD image to the Storage Center:

1.  Make sure your Storage Center is connected to the side labeled “SOURCE” and that the Master 

HDD is connected to the side labeled “TARGET”.

2.  From the Main menu, 

tap

 the ‘SET’ button to navigate to LOAD. You will see the following 

screen:
