You have done the basics......things like powering off the LaCie drive, restarting your Mac, and then powering the LaCie back up.......correct?


Right-Click on the LaCie drive on the Mac's desktop and then select Get Info. Look for Format and report on your results.


Open Disk Utility on your Mac Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility

Select the LaCie drive and run First Aid
