20 Most Recent LaCie Ethernet Disk (300788) 1000 GB Network Hard Drive Questions & Answers

Try reseting the hard drive - cycle the power or unplug it for a minute then plug it back in.

Mine used to do that too.
It's working much better since I repaired the power supply.
The power supply shipped with the disk is really bad and dies in less than one year. I had to replace mine 3 times !
I'm now using a power supply I repaired by replacing the 5 capacities and it's working fine.
I hope that will help.

Have you installed the lacie network assistant?

go there (http://www.lacie.com/intl/support/faq/faq.htm?faqid=10708) follow the instruction... more than easy... note : drive must be off before pressing the button for ten sec.

What says that?

I don't have enough info.

Check your connections, make sure everything is powered correctly. And make sure you installed the software that came with it.

I'll have to look into it a little more but off the top of my head I would say that the nic may be going bad or some other component of the etherdisk. You can try opening it up and putting the hard drive into an enclosure and connecting it to a pc via usb to get the data, you can also then share the usb drive and use it over the network, however removing the hard drive may void any warranty you may have. If the hard drive is in fact bad then you should be able to replace it and then continue to use the device. I'll get back to you when I get more info about the device.

I had the same problem in Vista but it spontaneously resolved itself after some time, but as a temporary solution you can just map to it. Figure out it's IP address and then go to: Start->right click on Network->Map Network Drive...->fill in the Folder field (i.e. \\192.168.1.2 ) and presto you should see the login screen (admin/admin by default). It's not the best but works well enough. Hope that helps.

1. Disconnect all cables from the device.
2. Press and hold the "reset" button (located on the rear panel) for about 10 seconds.
3. Wait for the device to restart and initialize. This may take several minutes.
4. Reconnect the cables to the device and try accessing it again.

Note: It's recommended to backup all data stored on the device before performing a factory reset, as all data will be lost during the reset process.

Check the data recovery programme used for an idea or start again now you have your data back by re initialising and formatting the drive as a new one.

Depending on your OS, use your disc utility and see if it has been initialised or not. If not initialise it and then you can format and use it as normal.

Did you get it fix ? Have the same drive and forget the password!! Need help
