Upgrade Suite CD is a bootable disk with EZ Gig data transfer utility that
can copy hard drives without booting to the Windows operating system.
To use Upgrade Suite as a stand-alone utility, your Computer must be able
to boot from a CD-ROM, and the CD-ROM must be set as the first boot
device in your computer’s System BIOS.
NOTE: The System BIOS controls basic hardware functions in computer,
and is the first screen that appears when booting your computer (i.e. before
the Windows Startup Logo appears on screen). Consult your Computer’s
User Manual for instructions on how to enter the System BIOS and change
the boot order.
To start EZ Gig directly from the CD-ROM
1) Insert the Upgrade Suite CD into your CD-ROM Drive.
2) Turn on the Computer and go immediately into the system
BIOS screen.
3) Set the CD-ROM as the First Boot device. Save your changes
and Exit the BIOS to reboot the computer.
Helpful tip:
Some newer computers display a “Boot Options” message during
startup. Pressing the boot options key allows the user to temporarily
change the boot-order of the system. Use this option to boot from
the CD-ROM without changing the BIOS settings. The actual keys to
activate this option will depend upon the manufacturer (some BIOS
use the <F12> key, others use the <ESC> key), and the boot option
is only available for a few seconds at startup before the BIOS falls
back into the normal boot order.
4) Once the BIOS is set correctly, the CD-ROM should boot-up the
computer and start the EZ Gig software.
