You're thinking of Disk Manager, from OnTrack Systems. It's packaged with just about every drive Seagate sells - I think they're up to version 4.3 now. I don't think Seagate would do anything but direct you to speak with OnTrack about getting an extra copy. Unfortunately, I have no addresses or phone numbers handy. -- Kevin Martin sigma@rpi.edu "i feel true blue and real"
