Re: Error from Lacie drive
In case this is useful to someone else in the future ... To resolve this error, I connected the drive via USB. Picked up the specific file involved and it was fine. The error I initially received suggested a sector of the file was corrupt. Then the error (-36) suggested the drive might be at fault. But turns out it was the network connection. Glenn.

You could check the power pack is plugged in properly , and try a substitute if you can access one.
