I recently purchased the LaCie 500gb harddrive. It's the one that is
advertized to not need any drivers at all. In fact, to quote the
"getting started guide", all you do is "plug in the harddrive, and it

just asking me to install disc into drive. i have uninstalled and reinstalled
the drivers and still not getting anywhere. my system is showing  no problems
