It seems that Vista will not recognize my external hard drive, a Lacie Bigdisk.
It says that I'm missing a driver, but the thing is, it never required a driver in Windows 2000, or XP.

My question is, Is it possible to use a generic driver for this, or do I just have to wait for Lacie to create a driver for it?

TUSB6250 Boot Device

Link Removed due to 404 Error

says

My Big Disk will not mount or is not detected. The System Profiler on my Mac or Device Manager on Windows lists it as unknown with the name TUSB6250 Boot Device.

Please try the following:

# Disconnect all cables connected to the drive.
# Connect the power cable to the drive.
# Connect the USB-cable. First to the drive. Then to the computer.

If the drive is detected correctly the problem was probably caused by improper shutdown or un-mount (unplugging the cable without dismounting first, etc.). When this has happened, the USB-interface needs to reset itself properly. After this, reconnection should be no problem.

Man, I was getting ready to throw my drive against the wall.
Thanks man, you're a champ. Lacie oughto put this info on their support pages.

Thanx again

AMAZING..whoever you are you are one great person.
I am now however worried that after searching for a solution to my problem I had top trawl through hundreds of 'never buy lacie big disk' reviews.
This could have cost me dear,
thanks again
