[newbie] STUDIO-U-HD-705475 from LaCie on a Dell Inspiron
I cannot make LM8.0 find and mount a LaCie 20GB USB hard drive on a Dell Inspiron. I wrote to LaCie and there answer is the standard crap from PC/Mac dedicated companies: No tests have been made on Linux with these disks Officially supported operationg systems are the following: - Windows 98 - Windows ME - Windows 2000 - MacOS We have no drivers written for Linux and don't know of any nor if the builtin drivers will do. Brief and to the point - we don't give shit about it would have been shorter though. Did someone make this disk run properly under any Linux distribution and if so - how? /Serafim

Did someone make this disk run properly under any Linux distribution and if so - how? I am slightly mistaken. My Linux-Mandrake(8.0) finds it but cannot mount it or allow me to format it. It is listed as a LaCie Hard Drive when I look at the system using HardDrake, but there is a comment about it saying that Mandrake did not find a suitable driver (and that I should send info to mandrake, which I didn't - so far). /Serafim
