FreeAgent Products

[AlanM]

I am pleased to announce that new versions of software including 64-bit operating system compatibility (ie, XP64 and Vista64) are available for the following drives:

-FreeAgent Go

-FreeAgent Desk

-FreeAgent XTreme

Also, our brand new Seagate Replica product is compatible with 64-bit operating systems.

Compatibility with 32-bit operating systems remains unchanged.

Have a great day!

It downloaded just fine and the set-up program started to work and show hints, etc.

BUT -- Then it said I it would only run on 32 bit Vista or XP. Why is that happening now?????

[RPush]

It appears that the Installation Program still requires 32 bit Vista or XP. It is possible that the Seagate Manager mignt actually work in 64 bit IF I could figure out how to install it. Tried XP Compatibility mode - that didn't work. Neither did Win 2000 compatibility mode.

I just tried this option several times and still continue to get the same message about 32 bit only.  I did unzip the file and tried to install.  Is there another way to make this work.   Thanks

I've also downloaded the "fix," but it still gives the message about running under the 32 bit system only...  Waiting for help...

[AlanM]

I forwarded this information on to the technicians responsible.  I'll let you know what they say.

I too just downloaded the program from SeaGate on the previous page from the moderator making it 64 Bit compatible.  Went through the process of unzipping the new file and tried to install.  Guess What?  Same message appears--32 Bit compatible only!!!!   

 I really thought this would be the solution.

Good to see there is a solution on the way. Hope you'll get the bug out pretty soon.

[AlanM]

OK, they have informed me that the fixed software is up on the website.  Please let me know if there are any more problems.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.
