I suggest that you download Seagate's Seatools for DOS (bootable ISO 
image), burn it to disc, and run it:

     http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/


For machines that don't have an optical drive, this page explains how to 
convert a bootable CD ISO image into a bootable hybrid ISO/USB image 
that can be burned to a USB flash drive and booted on machines that 
support such:

As an aside, I have Seagate, Western Digital, Intel, Samsung, Maxtor, 
and possibly other brands of HDD/ SSD.  While these manufacturers seem 
to provide utilities that run on Windows, Seagate is the only vendor I 
know of that still provides their tool as a stand-alone bootable ISO. 
In years past, some vendors offered bootable floppy disk images, 
bootable floppy disk creators, and/or files that could be copied to a 
bootable floppy made with Windows.  Such stand-alone utilities are 
invaluable for troubleshooting and/or repair.  Does anyone have links to 
such tools?  I'm especially interested in Western Digital DLG 5.04f. 
I'm also looking for a HOWTO for converting a bootable floppy image to a 
bootable USB flash drive image.
