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 DriveWire. 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.
