This is the Seagate Disk Manager, a version of Ontrack Disk Manager licences to Seagate. The program will create a Floppy boot disk. I found that this doesn't work on newer machines so you might have to run it on a Windows 9x or XP machine.
This version is suitable for older computers, like a 386 that don't have enough RAM to run DiscWizard 10.45. It still supports FAT16 and FAT32 but unfortunately does not add CD-ROM booting capability. |

DiscWizard is very polished and has a nice looking user interface. It is quite a recent product, from around 2004 and the hardware requirements are quite steep, requiring 16 MB of RAM. I ran into an issue with the software not being able to launch the high resolution graphics mode. There is a workaround, just run the executable manually again when you get kicked back to the command prompt. The highlights of this product are FAT32 support which means you can create large partitions, for example I used a 80GB Seagate IDE drive and configured a single 80 GB partition and then installed Windows 98 SE on a 486 Computer. Another highlight is that it adds the option to boot from CD-ROM. When you boot from C: there is a blue banner. Press space to boot from the floppy or press to C to boot from the CD-ROM. This alone is a very good feature to have. One negative I discovered is that DiscWizard uses quite a lot of memory. Compared to EZ-Tools 9.03W it requires 10 KB more memory. The program worked on Seagate drives and Compact Flash cards but refused to work on a Western Digital drive. |
