Zinstall User Guide

Quick Start
This User Guide will walk you through the migration process, and provide answers to questions you may
have before, during and after the transfer.
Introduction
Zinstall HDD is one of the Zinstall Migration Suite products. It provides the capability to upgrade from
one hard drive to another – migrating the entire system (OS, application software, settings, preferences
and data) without the need of any intermediate media.
Zinstall HDD supports streamlined migration to the target hard drive which has larger capacity than the
source hard drive. There is no need to either pre-format or pre-partition the new target drive before the
migration. No matter how many partitions the original (source) hard drive has, and what is the actual
size of each partition and how much space is actually occupied on each partition, Zinstall HDD will
handle all the formatting and partitioning tasks, automatically resizing the partitions proportionally.
Zinstall HDD uses sophisticated proprietary patent-pending algorithm which allows extra-fast copying of
the entire hard drive content – which shortens the time required for the migration.
Please make sure to read the Preparing for Migration section on
page 7
before starting.
