Data Select

EZ Gig’s Data Select feature provides a simple method to deselect data

folders from the cloning process which is helpful when migrating from a

large HDD to a smaller SSD and perfect for creating a Boot Disk. This

gives you the option to run your OS and applications from a fast, smaller

SSD boot drive, while keeping your documents and media files on your

original hard drive.

There are two ways to get to the Data Select feature:

1. If the Destination drive is smaller than the Source drive, EZ Gig

will direct you to the below screen. To deselect files from the

clone click the “Data Select” button, this will open the Data Select

feature.

2. On the “You are almost ready to Clone” screen, you may press

the “Data Select” button to open the Data Select feature.

Using the Data Select feature

The Data Select feature shows the capacity of the:

• Destination Drive

• Source Drive

• Available Capacity

If the Source drive is smaller than the Destination drive, the available

capacity will be highlighted in orange and shown as a negative value.

EZ Gig will only proceed with a clone if the available capacity is positive

(i.e. the Destination capacity is larger than the Source capacity.)

In order to decrease the size of the clone (i.e. the Source image), EZ Gig

enables you to deselect files from the cloning process to save space.

The files you may deselect from the cloning process are from the folders:

1. Documents

2. My Videos

3. My Music

4. My Pictures
