Hello,
LaCie Setup assistant is made to make it easier for the customer.
If you do not have it, you can format your drive using your MAC or PC and you can download manual and utilities from the LaCie website, which are the only things the assistant really does.
Regards,
it souns like a PSU issue make sure ALL connections that attach to your hard drive are secure or replace them including IDE,SATA even replace PSU with a heavy duty one
hope this helps
The hard disk inside it has probably died. Take it out of the case and put it in the pc directly - if even now it's not responsive then it's surely dead - junk it. if now you can see it then the electronics if the case are dead - junk it and buy a new external case.
if its your only drive, you can boot your windows installation cd, and format the drive then cancel the installation.
if its your secondary drive and you have an os installed , u can right click on the drive and choose format, and pick NTFS file system
Get yourself (free) Tuxera NTFS, and or Macfuse& NTFS 3g, a simple restart after installing, and you can read/write NTFS partitions from your 10.4/10.5 :-)
