The software, should have actually been on the drive, the little book
with it, tells you that you have to boot off a DOS floppy first, and run the
code on the drive to extract this software. If your drive didn't have this,
then it was an OEM drive, and not a Seagate 'retail bundle' drive.
If you have allready FDISK'd, or FORMATted, then the code will have
gone. The 32bit Windows driver, is on Seagates web site, as (I think)
ST32900.EXE, I would have expected the Ontrack driver to be there
as well, since it is protected, so that it will only work with a Seagate
drive.
