I went to admin tools in the control panel and it said no device dected. i have a 160 gb anyone know what i can do to fix it?
Lacie Porsche drives in my experience or infamous for not having the most durable bridge boards. The bridge board is a chip that has a chipset on it which take the SATA or PATA connection and send it to the USB and or Firewire ports on the enclosure. If the drive is powered up, you should get a small red or orange light on the front. When connected to either mac or pc ( porsches are MS_DOS formatted out the box ), if it does not mount or does not appear in DISK UTILTY, then it is a high probability that the enclosure/bridge board has failed and the drive ( if not making grinding, buzzing, clicking or beeping sounds) will have to be extracted and placed into a more stable enclosure. Hope this helps.

click start control panel user accounts on the users tab click the name of the computer administrator you must have full control
If you are running a Windows XP OS then you might be able to:
click start right click on my computer select open
Right click the icon of your Flash Drive (It should be F:/ or something)
Click Properties in the menu that comes up
Click the Sharing tab
Click permissions
And finally, click Allow next to Full Control.

mine [Lacie Porsche 60 Gb usb] stopped working after a fall from table. Now it beeps (two different tones of beep alternating) and the computer says "no readable disk" when connected. Any help or guide¿? THANKS!
Straight out of the box I can't reformat my lacie porsche hard drive 120gb for a mac. That is what I bought it for. Disk Utility does not recognize the drive. What to do to reformat it?
It beeps non-stop when I connect it. It hasn't fallen, it is brand new.
