help usb lacie hd

Hi Jerome,

Two things;

1) Did you install Service Pack 1? USB 2.0 is dicey at best without the service pack.

2 Is the disk available in 'Computer Management'?

Hi Jerome,

It looks like your drive is there (disk 1), and has not been partitioned or format.

From inside of 'gestion de l ordinateur', chose 'Action' then 'All Task' then 'Format'. That will format the drive and assign
it a drive letter.

BTW, it is 'C.Joseph' not 'Joseph' (what can I say, my dad had a weird sense of humor).

Ciao . . . C.Joseph
