Lacie 300963 OS reinstall

Hi SuzanneHow did you do the install? It's important that you do the correct procedure. First you should have installed the OS from the disc thaty came with your MacBook. It would have then asked you how you wanted to procede. One of the options is to restore from a back-up or from another drive.
You pick the Lacie and let it do iots stuff. As a rule, when that finishes the machine restarts from the new drive.
What you can do to check is shut the machine down. Hold down the Option key (alt key) and then press the power button to start it up again - don't let go of the option key. After one or two moments you will get a grey screen with a two icons. One will be your HD and the other will be the LaCie. You then choose which onwe to start from and that should be that. If you only get the Lacie showing up then it measn that you do not have a system on the internal HD and that it needs to be restored from the CD/DVD.
Let us know what happens.

hmm..can you tell u s about the pc xp or vista..and all connections checked, yes?

> it does NOT show on ... Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.4
> it DOES mount up on older computers running older versions of OS X
> Lacie ... said there was no problem

So, the problem is "local" to ONE of your computers.
Be sure that your computer is connected to AC power, not running solely on its battery.

Try some other USB device in the USB port, to confirm that the USB port is working.

Hello,
You need to have the OS disk to reinstall the OS. Then need to install the drivers. Then comes the software.
Thanks

change its format to Fat32 if on NTFS and there could be the OS fault so recommend that reinstall OS and better if Replace it with Windows 7 Faster and easier if not using one..Regards

upgrade to ubuntu 9.4 by clicking on the upgrade manager or, go to ubuntu.com to see how to use automatic upgrade

check the settings with bios. it may be the settings itself. or install the usb drivers. if already installed reinstall in the same path.
