I have a quick question (I hope).
I used the drive and serial number checking stuff at the Seagate site
a while back, (06-12-09) and found a couple drives that needed
their firmware upgraded manually BY ME, done locally, AND in
ADVANCE of problems with NEW firmware provided by the
Seagate site
I still have 2 of those 1.5TB drives that had the firmware bug.
I bought them and started using them, after 1 week the firmware was
released.
I immediately updated the firmware and to this day they are running
fine.

Hello Rick,
If a Drive is bricked (we call HDD Lock) or says it has 0GB on the drive.
Those are usually a Firmware Fix I can do. To fix those you need to use a
RS-232 serial connection to the drive and run a process of getting the
firmware to restart and rebuild.

I'm looking for a program that will track what program was the active
window for how long during the day and generate a report with something like:
Word - Document Name - 9:01AM - 9:45AM
Firefox - Page Name - 9:45 - 10:18
etc.
Anyone know of anything that will do something like that?
