"Format" (set-up) disc for Segate hard drive

[Da Mail Man]

greetings,

....as with western digital and maxtor, they have their versions of set-up discs when installing a hard drive. their disc utility does the setup and formatting, etc....does seagate have one of their own and where could i download it?...will it fit on a flopy disc (like maxtor) as opposed to a cd r0m?

I think DiscWizard is what you are looking for. Although you could just use windows do do the same thing.

..thanks for the reply..HOWEVER, disc wizard is 101mb's and would hardly fit onto a floppy!...

To be honest, I didn't even check how big it was. It has other things in it as well not just a format/partition tool. I don't think seatools can format/partition drives, and if it can it's probably fairly large as well.

...i actually tried everything and even my win xp rom wouldn't do it!...i wound up using acronis disc cleaner and in a matter of seconds, it and my disc was clean!....grin...thanks everyone for your input.
