I have looked at both Seagate's and Ontrack's (www.ontrack.com) web
pages and ftp servers and can't find the disk manager software.  I
have seen it mentioned but it looks like you have to buy it.
I thought that this sort of software was usually given away free with
new disk drives.
Do you have any other pointers or can anyone mail me the software ?
