CMS products should stand for Can't Make it Simpler. The CMS data transfer kit was a breeze. If you bought this kit with a hard drive, just slip the new drive in the case, plug it in and you're good to go. Just make sure to plan an activity while its copying. At first I didn't think it would copy everything, meaning flies, folders and operating system. But it did, you don't have to enter new key numbers. Ron Popeele should advertise this, just set and forget it. After the copying is done and you install the new hard drive in the computer, you can put the old hard drive in the case and use that as a back up system. CMS get the job done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard drive not bootable due to hidden partittions, December 7, 2010

If there are hidden partitions on your hard drive, there are additional steps to take prior to starting the data transfer process with the BounceBack software.

Go to and retrieve the instruction on "Setting Drive Letter for Windows 7 Hidden Partition." After completting those steps, then follow the instructions in the QuickStart Guide. Otherwise upon completion of the cloning process your drive will not be bootable.

It would be nice if the manufacturer included a note with the Data Transfer Kit or display it prominently on their web-site to indicate these extra steps.

After several failures and having to peek around that I discovered the TechNote in the CMSproducts site.

The product described is the CMS Data Transfer Kis DTK-25U2. I received the packed and it says that it is the DTK-25U2 unit. The DTK-25U2 unit is suppose to support SATA/PATA but this one only supported SATA. I went to the products website and the DTK-25U2 has been discountinued since 9/29/10. Looking more into the website I came across the Data Transfer Kit for SATA Notebook Drives DTK-25S2 which is new for $29.95.([...]) What this product described is exactly what I received from Amazon. So I am not sure where the mistake in packaging is coming from but if you need the PATA connection you might want to look somewhere else. So buyer beware. As for the just the SATA Data Transfer Kit I only used the case which is pretty sturdy. Luckily I got this product free as a promotion and didn't lose out. Hope this helps out some of you.
