Possible Solutions

Check the documentation for your Operating System.

Check section 1.1. Minimum System Requirements.

If the drive is configured as a removable drive under Windows 98SE or Windows Me, the removable setting will need to be re-checked each time that the drive is taken to a new system. To do this, go to the Device Manager and click on the Drives Settings tab.

Mac OS 10.x. while copying to a FAT 32 volume?

When copying files or folders from Mac OS 10.x to a FAT 32 volume, certain characters cannot be copied. These characters include, but are not limited to:

? < > / \ :

Check your files and folders to ensure that these types of characters are not being used.

Simply ignore this message. The drive will remount to the desktop. LaCie drives conserve power by spinning down when you set your computer to sleep mode, and when the computer is “woken” from sleep, it does not give the drive enough time to spin-up from its sleep mode.

Disconnect any other USB devices and see if performance improves.
