HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi Guys,

i have a bunch of ST3450857SS's that are formatted 520B sector size, i need to get to 512B sector size, i have downloaded seatools for DOS and booted into it, however i cannot find how to format the drive and specify 512B sector size, under Advanced setting etc..

I Hvae tried seatools for DOS 2.20, 2.17 & 1.10


I cannot for the life of me find Seatools Enterprise Edition anywhere.


Could anyone help me with this?

SeaTools Windows Enterprise Edition:

Thankyou ^

ended up using sg_utils because Seatools in x86 windows did not find any of the drives for some weird reason.
