SeaTools is an easy-to-use diagnostic application that helps you quickly determine the condition of the disc drive in your external hard drive, desktop or notebook computer.
It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate or Maxtor disc drive and any other non-Seagate disc drive. There are versions of this application for Windows, bootable for DOS (floppy or .iso for a boot CD), text or graphical.
SeaTools for Windows tests USB, 1394, ATA (PATA/IDE), SATA and SCSI drives. It is installable and completely data safe. SeaTools for DOS can also test Seagate or Maxtor Parallel ATA (PATA and IDE) and Serial ATA (SATA) interface disc drives. Because the software boots to its own operating system you can test your drive regardless of the OS installed on it. You can even test a new or completely blank drive. SeaTools for DOS will instruct the drive to run its built in Drive Self Test (DST) and give either a pass or fail status. If you are troubleshooting your disc drive and the DST passes, then you have a good drive!
System Requirements for Running SeaTools for Windows
- Microsoft Windows Vista, XP or 2000.
- Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0
- VGA 1024x768 or greater graphics capability
