Error running SeaTools

[ Edited ]
Hi there, I've got a brand new system with a ST3500820AS and I've been having some random locking issues. To rule out errors on the disc drive I wanted to run SeaTools but every time I try it errors and can't identify my disc drive
 
I've also read on the search I need to update the firmware, but without SeaTools running, I can't provide my serial number to get the firmware update, any suggestions??
 
I'm running Vista 64bit Home Premium in user mode, I enter my Administrator password when prompted and it's the proper Administrator account (not one setup via the User control panel)

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Re: Error running SeaTools

Hi,
 
Seatools lacks support for 64 bit operating systems at this time. You might try seatools for dos.

Re: Error running SeaTools

I have to ask, why a year after the launch of Vista 64bit, is this same old tired excuse being trotted out?
 
I mean seriously, how hard is it to organise a team to develop for this? Surely you were part of the MSDN beta testing and could have easily started work on something back then!

Re: Error running SeaTools

I am sorry to wake up an old thread, such as this, but could it be the same problem in Linux? Seatools (or bash actually) just responds:

 

./st: No such file or directory

 

- And, of course, there is the seatools (st) file in the current directory. I am running as root and it is executable.

 

I have a vague memory of seeing this problem before. I just hope it's not some trivial newbie issue...

 

I am running Ubunty 8.10 x86 64 Server.

Re: Error running SeaTools

seatools won't run. i (unfortunately) have 3 seagate drives. but it's not the boot drive so apparently, unless you use a seagate boot

drive, the stupid free piece of crud won't work. have a nice life. WD4EVER

Re: Error running SeaTools

I was able to get the command-line program to run on my 64bit Ubuntu LiveCD.  I had to install libc6-i386 to get it to work.  Here's the command in Ubunto:

 

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
