I need to upgrade my firmware for my seagate hard

Hi i have just looked into need to upgrade your firmware please read this
Seagate products are run by firmware. Having the latest firmware can improve performance and or reliability of your product. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive.
Like any software, firmware is improved over time and problems are also fixed. Every drive family has a couple of firmware releases during the life of the product. Please check in regularly to determine if new firmware is available for your drive.

As new firmware becomes available for other products we will make note of it here. At this time, we have firmware available for Barracuda 7200.12, DiamondMax 23, Barracuda LP, Barracuda 7200.11, Barracuda ES.2 (SATA) and DiamondMax 22 drive families.
If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Firmware for legacy products will be the final release from manufacturing. Please note that Seagate does not offer details about specific firmware.

Until recently, firmware updates for typical desktop and laptop computers were difficult and somewhat risky. This situation, in part, was based on a lack of friendly firmware download tools and operating system limitations. This situation has improved and Seagate now offers firmware updates as a routine matter for the general support of your Seagate drive.

/> If you are troubleshooting a system or OS problem, you should not consider firmware updates until after exploring more typical troubleshooting steps like file system error checking and anti-virus scanning.
Please use the following links and instructions below to determine if firmware is available for your product. If firmware is available, we recommend that you make a back up before running the actual update and that you read and follow all instructions, cautions and warnings that may be displayed.

Need restore my RAW file system back to NTFS without losing any hard drive files?

There are two options for you to get your drive stuffs back right now:
1). Do not format this RAW file system external hard drive temporarily and plunge it to your PC. And then, choose and apply RAW external hard drive data recovery software to scan this drive and find your preferred drive files back as many as possible.
2). Directly consult some professional data recovery services from some data recovery companies or agencies.
In the future, remember to save copies of everything important on at least two devices in case of any similar data loss issues.

FTP not working on BlackArmor

Check on BlackArmor Manager that the FTP mode is enabled for the folder you want access to.
You can check it by typing "http://192.168.1.66" in the adress bar on your explorer, enter your login and password ("admin" and "admin" by default), then click
storage -> shares
if "FTP" is disabled, click on the pen (modify) and enable it. don't forget to click "submit" ;-)

How can I recover deleted files

so long as the file has not been overwritten there are many utilties available free that will accomplish this. I have not made this mistake in awhile so i cannot tell you the best current program, but I have used this one before
http://ntfsundelete.com/ and it is quite nice. Keep in mind if you have continued to use the drive and the space that file occupied has since been overwritten you will not be able to recover it.

I have seagate plugged in and attached to my computer. I downloaded the program but I get the message connect a dashboard enhanced drive to activate features ??

Can you please provide more detail on the program you are downloading, the model of drive, and model of computer?
On the face of it, the program seems to be saying it is not compatible with the model of drive you have plugged in, or that the drive has been reformatted in a way that is not compatible.
Does the drive show up in the File Explorer / Finder of the machine?

after comment : ok, if you can drag and drop files onto it, then That means it is operational, and recognized by the system. The next question is why you can’t install the Seagate Desktop software. Where did you get the software from? Try going to Seagate Support and looking up your drive model, and doing a fresh download of the software they have for that model. Alternatively, there are other backup software packages available, Acronis, Aoemi, EaseUS, and others. You can find reliable downloads of utility software at downloads.com (CNET) or look for reviews from PcWorld or PCMagazine for their recommendations of the best paid and free backup software

Necesito controlador para Seagate medalist 4310

I need controller for (English please)
in a computer,. or DVR or what, where does this HDD go?

Medalist 4310 (ST34310A) built in 1999 (20 years old ) why use any drive this old.
why? it's useless.
my wild guess, is this
you have a PC and ustated PC has SATA only ports (modern)
and this old old HDD is PATA drive, with ribbon cable wide.
and you think it can run on modern PC.
well they do sell cards (PCI-e) that fit and work.
4.31GB is the size , holds about 1 top movie .
are you going to boot from this drive, if yes, very complex answer I will skip here. (ask maker of card , if it can)

newegg.com has them all, any thing you can dream of , is there.
if you look.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UB8ZU9127&Description=pci-e%2c%20pata%20IDE%20card&cm_re=pci-e%2c_pata_IDE_card-_-17Z-0007-00AF2-_-Product

again, no PC stated, no OS stated.
nor of booting is needed to the PATA relic drive. from 1999.
