You picked the wrong file to download. Go back to the https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/ page and read the text in the corner of the browser window as the mouse hovers over the big blobs. The second blob down goes to https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/seatools-legacy-support-master/ Here you will find graphical and text versions that are bootable ISOs which run under FreeDOS: https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsDOS223ALL.ISO and https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsDOS112.ISO with instructions: https://www.seagate.com/files/staticfiles/support/downloads/seatools/seatools-dos-guide.pdf Download those. Cheers, David.
