Connecting Your Hard Drive

Before starting the EZ Gig software,

please ensure that your new hard

drive is connected to your notebook’s

USB port via the EZ Upgrade. EZ Gig

automatically verifies which Apricorn

upgrade product is being used. If used

without one of Apricorn’s upgrade

products, EZ Gig will not work.

to page 11 of this manual to continue).

2. If you downloaded EZ Gig from Apricorn’s website, you can either

choose the Start option (go to page 11) or create a bootable EZ Gig

CD to use in the future (go to page 10 for instructions).

Creating a Bootable EZ Gig CD

If you downloaded EZ Gig from Apricorn’s website, you have the option

of creating a bootable EZ Gig CD or thumb drive to use in the future.

To create a bootable media disk follow the appropriate directions below:

• To create a bootable CD/DVD, choose the desired drive at ‘CD/

DVD writer’ and click “Create CD/DVD”.

• To create a bootable USB key, choose the desired drive at ‘USB

medium’ and click “Make bootable”.

Follow the instructions and wait until the installation program reports

successful creation of the bootable medium.
