FreeAgent Products

I tried the exact same thing with the windows 2000 compatibility setting. Works fine. This might after all be the solution!
Thanks for everybody's comments and help!

This may make you 64-bit users feel better, the problem exists on my 32-Bit Vista Ultimate as well.  Exact same problem, exact same solution.  Do they have a monkey testing this software or something?

By the way, what is the latest version of the Free Agent Tools?

I was recently duped by Seagate and am disgusted. This is the last Seagate product I will ever buy and this one is going back just as soon as I delete my backed up files..

Thanks for the 2000 compatibility mode tips, works great!

Just bought 1.5TB after reading box that it works for Vista Home Premium.  Unfortunately, it didn't say only for 32-bit!!!

Anyway, I tried compability mode but so far unsuccessful.  Which applicaton file did you changed so that the software works?

I changed for the following:

1)  Setup (top or root directory)

2)  InstallSeagateManager (/Seagate/Install/)

3)  a)  Seagate_Manager (/Seagate/Install/Bin)

     b)  demo32 (/Seagate/Install/Bin)

     c)  start (/Seagate/Install/Bin)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Guys I think the drive only works on 2000 or xp. I just got done reading what you guys said and I hear you guys about vista 64. I  have both versions of the operating systems. I have vista 64 on this computer, and the other computer has windows xp home. I wont try my drive on vista after what you guys are saying. ill keep mine to either a xp or 2000 computer.

am I strange for thinking 2000 or xp better then vista?

Most my friends are still using windows 2000, even after its not supported anymore

I am getting a error message on both mine "Delayed write failure"

Hope I can fix this message without having to lose my data. I was also reading somewhere where people are saying to stay away from seagate drives, and to stick to other ones. Cant remember the other brands or makers
