I had the same problem. The way I got over this was to go into The Lacie hard drive via another computer and go into the SOFTWARE folder. Make a copy of the setup programme and copy this a flash drive or disc that works on your vista laptop. Copy the setup to your new laptop. Run the programme and once it has finished installing, the lacie 500gb should work. Hope this helps David EggHeadCafe -...

I fried my hard drive last week. Dell has already installed a replacement drive. My question is that the os will not recognize the old drive at all. Like an idiot I forgot to backup my files. Is there a workaround? The disk drive does not even show up in the recovery function.

my sister just dropped her laptop from the couch to the carpet floor (which doesn't seem like it "got hurt" too bad); then the LCD isn't working like it should be. The LCD is still light up, but dark.. we have to "put the head of a flashlight right down on the display to see it"... I don't know much about computers, but I'm guessing the display card is crashed or something?:cry: sorry for my poor...

Hello, I have just recently installed a new copy of Vista x64 Ultimate on my computer. Everything was going fine and all of my HDD (3 of them) were visible and working. I used the Intel matrix storage manager to create a RAID 0 setup of 2 of my 3 drives. Once that was complete I lost visibility of my 3rd drive that I was using for backups. The BIOS and device manager see the RAID Drive...

Problem: My Rosewill RC-403 PCI Voice/Data/Fax modem isn't working fully with a number of TAPI based answering machine programs (e.g. IVM Answering Attendant, Impulse Technology's CallStation). These programs can pick up and record calls but they cannot play a greeting message over the phone line. All a caller hears is silence while the greeting is playing. Craig Duncan at Impulse...

I have received this several times. I have a new laptop, a Gateway t-6836 which is a decent and somewhat fast laptop. After it freezes up it says it may be an ethernet networking problem. I updated by ethernet network drivers and I have a very fast wired internet connection. The blue screen seems to happen when I am using uTorrent but their forum says the software is just forcing my...

Hi people, I hope someone will be able to help; I have printer that works perfectly with Vista 32bit, and when I've gone to Vista 64bit, printer stoped working. Drivers are installed OK, but they do not work. Printer gets papaer, and doesn't print anything. Tried also different print drivers, but with no prevail.

Hi I need to script the disabling of some devices in Vista but neither the 32bit nor 64bit version of devcon.exe downloadable from the site will work with vista. Anyone know of one that does work in vista, or any other CLI utility that can disable and enable devices? Cheers

Hi. I have a Sennheiser usb headset and it used to work fine on my dell vista laptop (inspiron 640m). Now suddenly it no longer works and I don't have a clue why it doesn't work anymore. There are no online drivers available for the usb headset and it works fine on another xp computer. When I plug it in on my dell vista laptop, the hardware manager looks like...

The OS is WinXP Pro SP2 When I rebooted I went to the BIOS to see the drive was recognized, and it showed an accurate approximation of used and...

I've had a lot of stability issues recently (freezes) and have located the cause as the software for the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000. I've uninstalled the software, but the camera still works with Live Messanger, which is nice. Is there a driver-only package for this, or another solution to get some functionality? -- Nigel M
