Did you erase and re-initalize it before starting to use it?

If the drive has a USB port, try connecting through that see if you have a similar problem.
A friend of mine had to return a LaCie because it had a bad Firewire bus. He encountered the same thing – the drive kept unmounting & re-mounting itself.Just a thought.

I own 5 lacie disks including the 500 gig disk. I’ve had nothing but problems. Lacie BLOWS!

I own 5 lacie disks including the 500 gig disk. I’ve had nothing but problems. Lacie BLOWS!”Very professional statement there. LaCie is a rock solid device when used properly and maintained properly. I’ve been running the Big Disk Extreme for over a year with everything from DV to 10bit uncompressed with no issues. The units move around from system as needed and have not had a hiccup.
Are the problematic LaCie products out there? Sure, but show me one drive manufacturer that doesn’t. It’s a piece of hardware, it will fail, especially if it’s not taken care of properly.
