discmgmt is useful for confirming that the PC detects the drive, and also convenient for deleting NAS partitions/volumes on drives you are re-purposing. However, you don't want (or need) to initialize/format the drive with it, since you are not using it in your PC. You will never see the drive in "my computer" unless you chose to format it for Windows - which in this case is not what you want to do.
Try downloading the seagate detect utility (http://support.seagate.com/firmware/drive_config.html) and see if it finds/enumerates your drive. Also confirm that your drive has the correct part number as well as the right model number.
You can also try the bootable CD version of the firmware update tool, that would eliminate any issues with your boot partition.
