[newbie] STUDIO-U-HD-705475 from LaCie on a Dell Inspiron

2001-06-01 Thread serafim 

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?

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).
