Windows Vista Fixing External Hard Drive Recognition Issues in Windows Vista

[ddrgsd]

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?

now i am getting 'USB Mass Storage Device' error where the error is stating that device cannot start. I tried updating the driver to no avail - please help!!!

Re: Thanks

Well, I'll be darned. This worked. Make sure you don't hit the power button on the front of the drive. Just let it power on automatically when you connect the USB cable to the computer.

Thanks to the person that gave the cable connection sequence!

thanks here too. Been giving me trouble all week

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
