Maxtor Maxblast 4

zc1 · 20-10-2007, 13:41

Hi,

Has anyone got the Maxtor Maxblast 4 ISO software for there hard drives as it seems it no longer available from Maxtor/Seagate only Maxblast 5 which is a for Windows and not a bootable CD, I have also Googled and have not really been able to find it.

The only thing I have found it the Ultimate Boot CD has Maxblast 5 and 3.3 has Maxblast 4 I have got a hold of 3.3, but would like to have a seperate copy of just Maxblast 4 ISO on cd, does anyone know where I can get it from or has it ?

MaxBlast 5 allows you to create a bootable ISO, Chapter 7 of the manual:
Creating bootable media

Here's the manual in a pdf: http://www.seagate.com/support/maxblast/mb_ug.en.pdf

Hi,

Thank for your reply

So does that mean I need to install it on my PC then create the ISO, if so my hard drives are not Maxtor, will it mess anything up on my system ?

If you still need version 4 PM me the address & I'll post you a copy.

Tried to upload it but connection to upload.ntlworld.com times out at intervals & their ftp server doesn't allow append/restart...

Hi,

Thanks, I will let you know if I need, maybe you could upload it to my hosting account via FTP if I need it

Yep, if you've got append/restart enabled it'll only take about 20 minutes to upload.

Just let me know the URL...

Split it with WinRAR [or whatever] into smaller chunks.

Odd? If your drives aren't Maxtors why do you need Maxblast?

My main pc has not got Maxtor drives, but my other PC has

Ah! I see

In that case you could install Maxblast5 on one of those PC's to create the bootable ISO could you not?
