Seagate don't just make hard drives - they give away some useful drive management software, too, and DiscWizard has to be one of their better freebies.
The program works well as an image backup tool, for instance, quickly creating an exact copy of the drive you specify. It's able to create a bootable recovery disc, which can then restore the last backup if your hard drive becomes corrupted and Windows won't start.
But you can also mount the image as a temporary drive within Windows, letting you restore just the specific files and folders you need.
But if that's not enough, then you can also use DiscWizard to help add a new drive to your system, or clone your existing partitions to a new drive so you can boot from that instead.
The program works with Seagate and Maxtor hard drives.
