if your BIOS is set to "allow classic USB support" (or similar terminology), then you are restricted to the drivers available at the date of BIOS version (or your PCs date of manufacture). The reason is, 16gb flash dd not exist n 2006. Most PCs/BIOS before 2006 can only mount 4gb flash memory or less. Most 2007 through early 2009 is limited to 8gb (this is not a restriction for USB HDD enclosures, older PCs can mount hundreds of gigabytes with older BIOS drivers).
1. If your BIOS allows you to change this setting, deselecting it may allow the OS to load a driver (Vista and Win7 both have native 16gb drivers).
2. Updating BIOS, if a newer one is available for your PC is also a solution, as flash media driver updates are almost always included.
3. if neither options are available for your PC, then you can go get a specific driver for this device from LaCie.com
One caveat: LaCie is renowned for slicing flash memory into two partitions. One is usually a "fake" read-only CD partition. This will not work in many updated BIOS, and even some of the newest PCs. USB HDDs can have multiple partitions, but not flash memory. If this is the case with your PC, then again, your only solution will be getting a device-specific driver from LaCie.
