13. What is master mode?
Master mode is a jumper setting that only applies to 3.5” IDE/PATA hard
drive or CD/DVD Optical Drives and determines which hard drive or CD/
DVD optical drive is the main boot device on the primary ATA bus, or if
it is to be the master device on the secondary ATA bus of an enhanced
ATA controller.
14. How do I set my hard drive to master mode?
Setting your hard drive to master mode will vary from one hard drive
manufacturer to another. In most cases there will be a diagram on
top of your hard drive that shows the location and proper settings to
configure the drive as the Master. If it is not obvious, please refer to the
manufacturers support website for more information.
15. Why can’t I connect my 2.5 or 3.5 hard drive?
When connecting PATA 2.5” or 3.5” drives to DriveWire, it is necessary
to align the polarizing pins in the DriveWire’s connector up with the
open space on the hard drive to avoid breaking pins on the hard drive.
EZ Gig FAQs
The below FAQs refer to cloning your hard drive with EZ
Gig only. For information on issues using Shirt Pocket
SuperDuper! software for Mac, please go the ShirtPocket’s

Load errors
During the start of the program, before EZ Gig is loaded itself, a message
and a progress bar will appear on the boot screen. In case of an error, one
of the following error codes will be indicated here.
Error #5002 and ‘Disk error’
This error will be displayed if the boot medium is not readable when
booting the program. The error is reported by the BIOS of the computer
and points to a defective data carrier or a problem with the used boot
drive. In many cases, in particular when booting from a floppy disk, an
incompatibility between drive and data carrier is the cause. Principally
this problem can be fixed. Please try the following steps, at best in the
indicated order:
• Try again to boot the program, perhaps with/without cold start.
• Create once again a bootable disk (page 10).
• Floppy disk: format the floppy disk (no quick format) before
creating a new one.
• Floppy disk: use another floppy disk.
• Use (if possible) another boot drive.
NOTE: If you didn’t receive EZ Gig as an installation package but on a
bootable disk and if a disk shows this problems also after multiple trials on
different devices, please contact Support.
Keyboard and mouse
EZ Gig supports keyboards and mice with PS/2 standard or USB
connector. This also includes many wireless mice, given they are
connected as a true USB device. Input devices connected with Bluetooth
are currently not supported. In this case, please connect a separate USB
device. If keyboard or mouse (or both) do not function with EZ Gig, this is
usually due to a wrong legacy emulation setting in BIOS setup. On most
computers, you can fix this problem by changing (activating or deactivating,
depending on the current setting) the emulation for PS/2 devices in BIOS
