Seagate offers a Windows executable (needs Win98 or better, 1,9MB) that should create 2 bootable floppy disks that contain a harddrive check program.

Invoking "wine seatoold_en.exe" works, but when the floppy should be written, an error occurs "insert 1.44 MB...click retry". I tried to mount a DOS formatted disk to /media/floppy and tried without mounting, it does not work.

Just as an aside (this doesn't solve your particular problem, I know), you should also email Seagate Customer Service (and CC the sales department), and politely remind them that not everyone is using Windows, and that they should take that into consideration before providing some boneheaded Windows diskmaker tool as the only option (I'm presuming you're not using SCSI or Fibre Channel, which they do have a Linux command line tool for).

I usually suggest sending this sort of thing tro sales as well, as they may realize the potential for lost sales.
