If that's the case you can take the hard drive out of the case and either install it in a computer or in another external enclosure and get your data. (3) The hard drive itself is dead. Also fairly common. Can test this by trying the hard drive installed in a computer. In this video I'll explain how to get your hard drive to show up in 'My Computer' if it isn't. In this video I'll explain how to get your hard drive to show up in 'My Computer' if it isn't. Sunburnt is right about what you should try next; these hard drives are standard, LaCie just sticks them in an enclosure with an adapter. You can purchase a relatively cheap SATA to USB adapter or enclosure, open up the LaCie enclosure, yank the drive out, and use the new adapter/enclosure to try to read it.

My 250Gb Porche harddrive also is no longer seen by my laptop. It runs on WinXP SP3. The LaCie drive on my laptop is usally designated g: and is not there. I have done all the usual checks and tested the harddrive on two other computers including one running Ubuntu, the plug and play works fine and I can see all my files. But not on my laptop.
Has anyone solved this problem? I would be greatful for any answers.
Thank you

Dear Apple Community
I need your help, as I have searched around and can't find a solution to my peculiar problem.
I have a 500gb LACIE Rugged hard drive product ID. RUG FWSA
Can you play blackjack online for money.
It has these connections: firewire 800, firewire 400, mini-usb, power
https://bestvfile887.weebly.com/screenshot-dvd-mac.html.
I have always connected it via firewire 800 or mini-usb as my Macbook Pro only has a firewire 800 port / usb port, and firewire 800 is faster than the other options provided / I assume it provides the most power to the drive thus being the healthiest?
Now for the past while it has only shown up on certain computers. I have a mac G4 tower that it will show up on when I connect via firewire800
Online casino real money no deposit. But it will not show up on my macbook pro that I normally use it on, and it won't show up in disk utility.
When I connect it to the G4 however it shows up both as a writable drive and in disk utility so I have been able to format it in to various partition styles to coax it in to showing up. It still doesn't show up.
Basically
500gb LaCie Rugged external HDD, ID RUG FWSA
Shows up on G4, both disk utility and writable
Does not show up on macbook pro anywhere
When connected to the macbook pro I can hear it and feel it turning on and staying on.
What have I tried already?
-Reformatting
-connecting it with a power cord attached, which makes me think its not a power issue, but I could be wrong
-connecting it and waiting for ages for the drive to show up in disk utility.
-the problem is not with the cord or 800 port on the hdd as it works on another computer
-the problem is not with the 800 port on my macbook pro as other 800 devices work on my laptop.
Any ideas anybody?
Is this a job for apple genius bar?
