by the computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the
operating system. Never remove the docking station while the hard
drive is in use. Doing so may corrupt the data on the hard drive or
damage the hard drive, docking station, or computer.

b. When connected via USB, the dock will automatically go into sleep

mode if the connection is left idle for more than 30 minutes. The
power LED indicator will flash every 3 seconds. Accessing the hard

A: Hard drive with bad sectors might not be directly cloned. It is advised

to repair the bad sectors rst or simply replace it with a new hard drive.

Q: I cannot see the capacity remaining in HDD B after the o󱐱ine clone.
A: If the capacity for HDD B is bigger than HDD A, the capacity remaining

in HDD B upon completion of the o󱐱ine clone should be formulated
to a new partition. Go to Control Panel and select Administrative
Tools. From there, choose Computer Management. On the left panel,
select Disk Management. Windows should now give you the option to
initialize the disk.

Q: Why can I not read more than 2TB?
A: The MBR is an old style which has limitations that allowing only

partition sizes less than 2TB and only four primary partitions. You need
to convert MBR to GPT if you want to make your partition size larger
than 2TB.

Q: Can I recover my data in HDD B?
A: All data in HDD B will be deleted once o󱐱ine clone starts. Before you

attempt to clone your hard drive, we highly recommend backing up all
your data rst.

Q: How come my hard drives are not showing up?
A: Disconnect the FD2102 from your computer. Wait a few moments and

then reconnect the device; Connect the FD2102 to another USB port. If
the problem still exists, the hard drive might need to be reformatted. If
needed open up Disk Management which can initiate/format/partition
hard drives. You can also use third-party software such as Fdisk, DM or
PQ Magic to do this
