Echo FAQs

How does the Echo® determine the size of partitions on the target drive?

In the default CleverCopy mode, all known partitions (FAT16/FAT32/NTFS) are scaled proportionally to the ratio of master/target size. All unknown partitions (e.g. HPFS, UNIX etc.) are mirrored, that is they maintain their size. Please note that FAT16 partitions cannot exceed 2.1GB when scaled up, nor be smaller than 32MB when scaled down.

Can the Echo® clone to dissimilar drives?

Yes. The Echo® will take care of all the necessary adjustments of target drive structures to ensure the drive (of any size) will be valid and bootable. Many mixtures of master and target drive sizes (up to 25GB) were tested, and found valid. The above is true for all master drives that contain FAT16/FAT32/NTFS type partitions. Unknown partition types are cloned in mirror mode, and typically require identical (or very similar) master and target drives to guarantee a successful clone.

Why do I sometimes see transfer speeds as fast as 550MB/min, and other times as slow as 200MB/min?

There are many factors that determine transfer speed:
The age of the drives - The speed of the operation is governed by the slowest drive in the system. If an old drive is used, chances are it cannot sustain high transfer speed. Newer drives have faster electronics and larger caches, and can sustain rates as high as 16MB/sec.

The type of operation performed - When cloning FAT16 partitions, it is sometimes necessary to change the cluster class of the partition. It such cases, the Echo® "engages" a more complex algorithm to ensure proper alignment of structures on the target. This results in a slower process.

Can the Echo® clone file systems such as UNIX, and HPFS?

Yes, but results are guaranteed only if cloned between identical drives. However, it is reported that UNIX partitions will self-repair upon the first boot.

Do target drives have to be partitioned and formatted prior to copying?

No. Target drives need not be partitioned or otherwise treated. The Echo® disregards everything on the target drive, and re-formats and partitions the target on-the-fly.

My target drive will not boot? Why?

Please check several things:

If the target drive is larger than 4GB, and is hosted by a PC with a Phoenix BIOS dated earlier than Nov. 1997, you may need to set the CHS translation setting to Large, and try to clone again. If this is not the case, please check that the above setting is NOT set to Large, but rather to the default setting: LBA.
Make sure that the first partition selected for cloning on the master consists of a valid operating system, like Win98. Since it is perfectly OK to select a data-only partition to be cloned, one cannot expect to be able to boot from such target.
The Master drive is corrupted. This may not show-up with casual booting of the master, but problems such as cross-linked clusters can cause serious cloning errors. We recommend checking every master with Scandisk prior to cloning. Future software versions of Echo® will allow "scandisking" the master on the unit.
All but the first partition is missing from the target drive? How did that happen?

This is usually a result of a wrong CHS translation setting. Hit the "Mode" button, and scroll down to the CHS translation mode item. Toggle to the other state (LARGE or LBA), and try to clone again.

How does the Echo® handle bad sectors on the master and target?

Bad (or "weak") sectors on the master are handled in the following way:

If the Sector Recovery option has been installed, the Echo® will attempt to recover the data of any master sector encountered during the cloning session.
If the above option is not installed (or has been disabled) the Echo® will abort the cloning process upon hitting the first bad sector. Note that the Echo® will still make several attempts to correctly read the sector in question, but unless a perfect read was achieved, the process will abort.
Bad sectors on targets are handled as follows:

If the Verify setting is disabled, the Echo® will not detect bad sectors on the target. Note, however, that newer drives use automatic reallocation and will rarely exhibit a bad sector, and thus reduce the probability of a problem to a negligible amount.
With the Verify setting set, the Echo® will abort the operation upon detecting the first bad sector. Future versions of the Echo® software will support bad sector marking in file tables.

Are NT 4GB FAT16 partitions supported?

Yes.

How does the Echo® handle NT Security Identification ID (SID) duplication issues?

We do not supply a SID CHANGING UTILITY - please refer to www.sysinternals.com so that one can be downloaded.

Can you briefly explain the difference between mirror copy and CleverCopy?

Mirror copy merely copies all sectors in a given partition (or drive) from the beginning to the specified percentage. It does not look at drive structures, and can thus copy any type of known or unknown data. Since Mirror copy does not determine where useful data start and stop, it ends up copying every sector on the drive, a time consuming operation. CleverCopy analyzes the drive structures, and not only does it only copy sectors that are occupied by useful files and data, it also adjusts the various drive structures to assure a valid and fully partitioned target drive. CleverCopy is by far the most recommended mode of cloning.

Can I clone to/from drives larger than 8.5 Gigabytes?

Yes. The Echo® software was designed to support drive up to 60.0GB. It was tested on drives up to 25GB in size. Note that some PC's cannot "see" drive larger than 8.5GB due to BIOS limitations.

Can I copy from a larger drive to a smaller drive?

Yes, sure. As long as the data content of each partition fits into the scaled down size of its corresponding partition. Otherwise, an error code will be displayed.

Can I clone to/from laptop drives?

Yes. Logicube sells 2.5" drive adapters, and can provide adapters to many of the special drive connections on the market. Please call for availability.

Can I clone drives with virus protection software installed?

Yes. But remember to decline the "repair" of the target drive should a virus protection program complain about altered master boot record etc.

The Echo® does not recognize my master (or target) drive?

Make sure that the drive jumpers are set as a single master. Drive jumper settings can be found at the drive manufacturer web site.

Why do I have an un-partitioned free space at the end of my target drive?

This typically occurs when the master drive has FAT16 partitions only, and the target is much larger. FAT16 partitions cannot scale to more than 2.1GB each. FAT32 and NTFS partitions do not suffer from this limitation and will always be scaled up to fill the target drive.
