[Hidden-tech] Lacie drive issue

[Reva Reck]

I stopped using Lacie drives because they did stuff like this all the time.
You probably need to format the drive for Windows. Can you see it using
device manager? Lacie will have instructions for getting to drive in Windows
from Device manager or from the command line. Formatting the drive, however,
wipes out what's on it. Sorry I can't give you more details. It's been a
while since I needed to do this.

Greetings!

I am having another odd issue, this time with a portable Lacie drive. 
I used it actively as a backup drive until one of the pins on the 
power supply broke. I finally replaced the power supply cord and the 
drive is now running, sort of. Problem is that neither of the pc's on 
which I tried it can recognize it anymore. I thought at first that it 
was just another thing going wrong with my laptop and then tried it on 
my other one. BOTH of these are laptops with which I have used the 
drive previously, for years. I get an error message saying that the 
device has malfunctioned and it doesn't even appear in a Windows 
Explorer list. However, it DOES work just fine plugged into an iMac 
G4. Anyone ever run into anything like this before and have any 
suggestions for getting it to work again?

I DO seem to come up with what seem to me to be offbeat issues, 
dontcha think?

Thanks,

Gary
