I just got off the phone with Seagate tech because I could not find out whether the SD22 firmware in my ST3320613AS was an affected version. He said that it was and recommended I upgrade. The "Drive Detect software" that http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207957 directs to use to discover the firmware revision requires windoz. Anyone know if it works under Wine? Instead I used a bootable Seatools CD that came in a retail Seagate HD package. -- "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
