3. Note If an SATA hard disk is not recognized this can also be due to the used SATA controller gt 3 3 2 SATA SATA II controllers 7 4 2 IDE controller not found There are the following three reasons why HDClone has not automatically recognized an IDE controller 51 Fa 7 4 IDE ATA SATA The IDE controller channel is deactivated e g on an onboard IDE controller Activate the IDE controller channel via the BIOS setup Standard IDE controllers ISA are not taken into account if PCI IDE controllers are available Connect the respective hard disk to a PCI IDE controller in this case or deactivate the PCI IDE controller or controllers The used controller does not correspond to the PCI IDE standard Although most controllers support this standardized programming interface there are some controllers which have only a proprietary programming interface More detailed information can be found in gt 3 3 1 IDE ATA controllers Connect the corresponding drives to another controller PCI IDE controller 7 4 3 Problems with DMA The following principal problems can occur with Ultra DMA e The achieved speed is too slow despite DMA Please consider that the achievable speed gt 3 3 5 Speed depends on many factors and that this is not absolutely due to a problem with DMA DMA mode is not available When selecting the options 5 8 4 Options for source and tar get the option DMA is deactivated and locked in this case

10. Free Edition This can be used to check in advance which speed can be achieved on a certain sys tem by using the Enterprise Edition Please keep in mind that the achievable speed in this case strongly depends on the interfaces used most suitable IDE SATA and SCSI and the drive combinations only use master drives with IDE Tip MultiCopy mode can also be used in combination with imaging gt 5 6 Selecting the copying mode In this case you can either restore the contents of an image file to up to 16 targets at a time gt 5 7 5 2 Image file as a source or you can create up to 16 image files at a time to different media of course from one single source 5 7 5 1 Image file as a target 5 8 Selecting the options On the dialog page Options you can set the options with which you want the following copy ing process to be executed Principally HDClone automatically sets the optimal options for the selected drives and the type of the copy Only modify the options to troubleshoot problems gt 7 Troubleshooting or when you are sure that this improves the performance of HDClone 31 Ey 5 8 Selecting the options Note An improper modification of options can possibly lead to a deterioration of the copying performance If the settings of the individual options comply with your demands click Next You then come to the next dialog page where you can start the copying process 5 9 Copying data 5 8 1 Verifying
11. HDClone in case of defective media 6 1 Copying modes HDClone can handle whole hard disks as well as individual partitions The program therefore offers different copying modes whose meaning effect and possibilities of use are explained in the following subchapters However the different copying modes only represent the technical possibilities offered by HDClone Each copying mode has ac cording to the system environ ment numerous practical possibilities of application which cover the data recovery over the backup to the migration of entire operating system installations 2 Fields of application 6 1 1 Preliminary remark The copying modes offered by HDClone aim to cover as many possibilities of application of the 1 1 copy as possible Since many users have their own individual requirements and cases of application for the 1 1 copy some of the offered possibilities only lead to an intermediate step e g in case of a backup 6 1 5 Drive to partition As long as you do not overwrite any areas containing data which is still needed you can try every copying mode without problems be cause the original remains unchanged Important In case of a data recovery from a defective hard disk you should first of all make a physical 1 1 copy or a physical 1 1 image of the whole hard disk onto an identically big or a bigger hard disk 6 2 Size differences With that copy you can then try different copying modes or recovery trials without

PCI IDE controllers supported by HDClone this refers to a standardized pro gramming interface which is supported by a large majority of IDE controllers Nevertheless there are also others especially external PCI hard disk controllers which implement a different usually proprietary interface They are often also called IDE controllers as they allow IDE hard disks to be connected Since IDE stands for a programming interface program controller as well as for a hardware interface controller drive it results in a double meaning Refer to chapter 3 2 1 Compatibility test to determine whether your PCI controller is compliant with the PCI IDE standard 3 3 2 SATA SATA II controllers Precondition for the support of SATA drives is an SATA controller with IDE interface or an SATA Il controller with AHCI interface All popular chipsets from Intel with ICH 5 6 7 incorporate such an IDE compatible SATA controller Regrettably many other SATA controllers only offer a proprietary programming interface Nevertheless it may be possible in case of onboard SATA controllers to activate a compatibility mode in BIOS setup which would allow HDClone to ac cess the SATA controller As for SATA II controllers many models already implement the AHCI interface supported by HDClone Tip With the Free Edition of HDClone you can easily check out whether your SATA or SATA Il controller is supported gt 3 2 1 Compatibility test Connect at le
