[NJTechDiv] unresponsive something on PC.

[James Hulme]

Hi Ken and Mario,

Perhaps this video will help solve the problem.

SeaTools from Seagate <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5MEH7BLIo>

Seatools dld. <https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/>

Unfortunately the co. is in CA

I have one quick suggestion, you might want to ask a question or e-mail
their support team for further assistance. You can just simply type or ask
a question at http://www.seagate.com/support/

Good luck with your radio show!

Hope this helps,

Have a great day,

Jimmy Hulme
