SeaTools Bootable USB *NOT IMPRESSED*
I have used the Seatools for DOS burnt to a CD for yonks.
But sometimes it floundered with new hardware, either not seeing any disk drives, or keyboard not working. So got the new SeaTools bootable creator and put it on a USB thumb drive. It booted up on a system where the old CD was no good, and I was able to run the long test. So far so good. But when I click on serial number to get the drive info, it says Power-on Hours: 0 This was for a used WD disk, but the old Seatools for DOS would read those properly. |
