>>>Here<<< is their installation utility, TBH I haven't used it personally, but if it's anything like Maxblast for Maxtor drives you can set partitions format and copy partitions, my hope is this will do the same for you, they also have a utility called >>>SeaTools<<< for diagnostics incase that helps, see if it does what you need.
Yep I have all my Seatools and Maxblast disks for various hardware... also some Western Digital.

I'll give the Seatools a whirl again but I thought that would only do
formatting.

As I recall it had some sort of hard time seeing the drive. I'd rather practice
with dividing up a drive on one of my old small ones first. Old small one is a WD.

Also fdisk is supposed to be rock steady unlike some other tools.
