Sorry about that.  I burned Seagate SeaTools Bootable to a USB flash 
drive a few years ago and forgot the details.


I have sent a support request to Seagate asking them to post an *.img 
file of SeaTools Bootable that can be copied to a USB flash drive using 
Linux/ BSD/ Unix and dd(1).


That said, the harsh reality of running Linux, BSD, etc., on Intel x86/ 
x86-64 hardware is that you must maintain at least one working Windows 
installation.


I bought a Windows 7 Pro COA from a recycled laptop on eBay for $25. 
These are still available.


I am disinclined to set up a Windows 10 installation as it involves 
joining the Microsoft collective.  I seem to recall reading a post that 
there is a way to bypass assimilation -- I will need to research it when 
Windows 7 no longer meets my needs.


Perhaps you should use the Seagate ST3320311CS for Windows.

So, the drive passed all smartctl(8) and badblocks(8) tests in the HP, 
the ThinkCentre, or both?


Have you purchased and installed new SATA 6 Gbps cables?

Be sure to use a file system that can detect bit rot -- either btrfs or 
ZFS -- and back up frequently.
