My lacie external hd designed
the power circuit is most likely blown. You can buy an external hard drive case and put the hard drive in it. Be sure to buy correct size hard drive enclosure. The other way is to remove hard drive from external case and put into computer with a spare sata connection.
LaCie Case and new IDE drive not communicating with my MAC
It sounds like you have power but the communication method is not working. I assume it is a usb drive, (or it is firewire 400, firewire 800? How do you have it hooked up to the Mac? If you are using usb, I would try using a different usb cable. Same for firewire. You also might read your manual on the Lite-On drive is see if you have to throw some dip switch make it a master or slave setting on IDE.
Hallo, I have a LaCie Grand 1 TP external
Hi
you may face this issue because of differences between mac and windows file systems/partition table and security attributes that may disallow any further changes.
1-try to connect you HDD to a windows Computer and Backup all your files before loses any data(use more newer version of windows like windows 10 build 1709 windows XP is old/out of services and has many problems)
2-after a full backup in windows try to connect your HDD to your mac and format it via your MacBook
3- after formatting your HDD try to reconnect your HDD to windows and copy your files to HDD(windows has a compatible file systems that could read/allow/write mac file systems/partition and its attributes)
4-enjoy

Hi
please explain more information about your problem.
before any further assistance try to check it on other computers and see if its working or not if yes then take a full backup quickly,
if not then:
try replace the USB/SATA/PATA cable and check if it is working or not.
if yes then take a full backup quickly,
if not then:
1-this is an external drive:
1-1: it use as a normal external HDD for backing up data/movie/music/pics/etc.:
option number 1:try to fix its partition clusters/sectors with some software like easeus partition recovery or ...
option number 2:try to format it and then recover its data via recovery applications like easeus or "get data ntfs back" or...
note: in all scenarios you may lost some files or content
1-2 it is used for speed up your computer or has the MBR or EFI boot partition and has an OS installed on it:
try to fix its partition clusters/sectors with some softwares like easeus partition recovery or ...
note: in all scenarios you may lost some files or content
2-this is an internal drive:
1-change the SATA/PATA cable
2-check its sectors or clusters via software (windows check disk or windows defragment option) for bad sectors or cluster issues
3-try to fix its partition clusters/sectors with some software like easeus partition recovery or ...
if none of my solution works or software found some bad sectors that could not resolve it then or even you couldn't format the drive then:
maybe it has a hardware fault and there is not much you can do about it by yourself and you should go for warranty service or replacement or asking some expert companies for recovering your data via some special hardware that it may cost you too much.
best regards
