ReadMeFirst.SeaToolsBootable.txt Revision: 12-Mar-2018 =============================================================================== Seagate SeaTools Bootable Copyright (c) 2014-2018 Seagate Technology LLC and/or its Affiliates, All Rights Reserved =============================================================================== Please READ ME FIRST Thank you for downloading SeaTools Bootable, build v2.1.2-1_17_5 This is a limited Engineering Preview Release, just prior to being made available to the general public. SeaTools Bootable provides a basic suite of diagnostic utilities in an environment independent of your installed operating system. This will allow you to test, diagnose, and possibly repair your hard drive, even if your operating system environment is inaccessible. SeaTools Bootable tests SATA, SAS and USB interface drives. All of the Basic Tests are data safe. The Advanced Features menu has Erase options which are not data safe. KNOWN LIMITATION: The Seagate USB boot maker tool needs a USB flash drive of size 256MiB or larger but less than 32GiB. The USB flash drive must be formatted to FAT32 (in this size range they usually are). KNOWN LIMITATION: Some notebook touchpad mouse systems may not be recognized. We hope to have the missing device drivers added in the public release. Until then, the work around for this situation is to attach a common USB mouse into the notebook in order to run the application. KNOWN LIMITATION: The Advanced Features menu requires the F8 function key to confirm access to the menu. Some systems keyboards may not process the F8 key press in a way that works with the operating system and or SeaTools Bootable. The F8 key press might be ignored or cause the application to quit. NOTE FOR Mac USERS: Booting from the USB flash drive may take some experimentation. To boot a USB flash drive, power on or restart the system, wait until the screen turns white and then press and hold the "Option" key. A boot device menu should display. Insert the SeaTools USB flash drive. A new gold color USB boot device icon "EFI Boot" should appear. This is your selection. How to verify the download file integrity ========================================= As download file sizes get larger, there is a small possibility of data corruption in the final file on your system. You can compute a MD5 value for your download and compare it to the value we publish in the SeaToolsBootable_RC_2.1.2.usbBootMaker.exe.md5.txt file. If even one bit is different in the download then the MD5 calculation will look entirely different and you will know that the file is corrupted and cannot be used. In Windows, to compute the MD5 hash value for a file do the following: 1. From Windows Explorer, Shift+RightClick the folder name where the download exists and select "Open command window here". 2. Type the following command at a command line: CertUtil -hashfile "SeaToolsBootable_RC_2.1.2.usbBootMaker.exe" MD5 (Hint: when you start to type the long SeaTools file name, type a few letters then press the TAB key for rapid file name completion.) ============================================================================= Besides SeaTools Bootable, SeaChest Utilities are command line utilities which are available for expert users. These command line tools assume the user is knowledgeable about running software from the operating system command prompt. CLI tools are in the English language only and use "command line arguments" to define the various tasks and specific devices. SeaChest Utilities are available for both Linux and Windows environments. Technical Support for SeaChest drive utilities is not available. If you have the time to send us some feedback about this software, especially if you notice something we should fix or improve, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you. To report your comments and suggestions, please include the version information and use this email seaboard@seagate.com If SeaChest Utilities does not serve your needs for any reason, please try the original GUI utility software SeaTools for Windows or SeaTools Bootable available at www.seagate.com/seatools.
