VIII. FAQ
a.

Unable to start cloning: Please check whether the actual capacity of B disk is
higher than A disk (BA), otherwise it wont work when A disks actual capacity
is higher than B disks. (B<A )

b.

Indicator light stops flashing up during offline duplicating: it might because of

disk bad sectors so that data couldnt be cloned as usual. Its better to change
a good disk.

c.

After cloning, the rest capacity of B disk is showed and operated via Computer
management - Storage - Disk management.

d.

Why over 2TB hard disk couldnt be identified by USB? Because the maximum
capacity of hard disk which Windows XP can supports is 2TB and couldnt be
identified by system if over 2TB. It only supports after upgrading the operating
system above Vista (64 bit) version and we suggest changing hard disk into a
GPT disk partition, or the operating system will not support over 2 TB disk
partitions.

e.

Please make sure that B hard disk data can be covered before cloning data.
Because once you start cloning, B hard disk partition methods and data are
completely cloned as A hard disk. Our company does NOT undertake any
responsibility for data or economy loss which could bring by damaged data.
