Ummm...just to be picky...its NOT Seagate's Disk Manager (ONTRACK).
The *company* ONTRACK produces the software Disk Manager and Disk
Technician which it licenses to Seagate and *most* other disk
drive manufacturers (or possibly to the distributors of the drives
such as CompuAdd and Hard Drives International). Basically when you
purchase a hard disk of > 32mb (and often of > 20mb depending on the
company) you get a copy of ONTRACK's Disk Manager / Disk Technician...

I know..."picky, picky" and ... "who cares"
