LaCie Porsche 500Gb not installing ...

Hi,

I have the LaCie Porsche 500Gb external USB hard drive. Always been working fine until I was foreced to do a C Drive re-format WinXP SP3 clean install.

When first originally installed the LaCie had found/been given a driver out of WinXP. After the new clean install, the best I have gotten is a Device Manager yellow exclamation point. LaCie support says driver error, not their problem.

The path is: Device Manager | Universal Serial Bus Controllers | USB Mass Storage Device (yellow exclamation) | Details comes up with one of the following each install attempt:

USB\VID_o59F&PID_0951\Rev_0000 and on the 2nd line: USB\VID_059f&PID_0951

Another time Details showed only this individual message:

USB\VID_059F&PID_0951\152D20338086

I did several web searches and felt I was close to finding but, reached the end of my expertise as to how to solve this problem.

Ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

John

Is that external recognized by another computer?
