Can DriveCopy be used to copy from an EIDE drive to a SCSI drive?

DriveCopy 4.0 FAQ
Yes. To accomplish this, you must set up the EIDE drive as the first drive on the system, and the SCSI as the second. If you intend to replace the EIDE drive with the SCSI drive, you must remove the EIDE drive from the system after you have performed the copy operation. DriveCopy does not require that the target hard drive be set as the master and the source hard drive be set as slave.

Q: Can I copy to a smaller hard drive?

Software Clone
Yes, target disk space permitted. The Upgrader performs intelligent copy, i.e., only copies those sectors that are actually used. If your source drive contains unallocated space at the end or FAT16/FAT32 partitions that are not nearly full, you may be able to copy to a smaller drive. The Upgrader will perform an intelligent analysis of your source and target disks and inform you if the target disk is too small. Sometimes defragmenting the source drive may help.

How do CrypKey copy protection tools identify the hard drive?

CRYPKEY - Leading Global Provider Of Software Copy Protectio...
CrypKey identifies the IDE hard drive by accessing the unique serial number built into the firmware of the hard drive. The hard drive serial number (HSDN) is then incorporated into the license in order to "lock" the license to a specific hard drive. The hard drive serial number cannot be tampered with or modified by hackers, and provides a secure and reliable method of license locking. Due to non-consistent manufacturing standards, HDSN is not supported on SCSI drives. Back to Top

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: NT can view a maximum partition size of 2 terabytes (or 2,199,023,255,552 bytes), however there are limitations that restrict you well below this number. FAT has internal limits of 4 GB due to the fact that it uses 16-bit fields to store file sizes, 2^16 is 65,536 with a cluster size of 64 KB gives us the 4 GB.
