250gb FreeAgent descktop & Windows 2000 pro & can not install either

[ Edited ]

The Seagate employee is wrong!  This is what I read - pasted below direct off Seagate's site. I spent great amounts of time searching for the best product to use. And I am very upset that Seagate states one thing on there site and when the product arrives I can not install because I have windows 2000 pro service pack 4. I purposefully went to Seagate's site before I bought online, to be sure it was compatiblewith ver. 2000. I do not want to go through imaging etc. as he described this is what I wanted to avoid. I read reviews etc. stating how great and user friendly and this is what I get and likely others.

Is the only option to return and buy something different? Any help out there with answers?

Thanks Ptb

hello, on the box it's only for the hardware (the drive itself) not the software...you will need to update your system :smileywink:
