Hey,

Ok, so i JUST bought a LaCie external Hard drive and when i plug it in i hear the sound that it was connected. Then nothing happens.
I go into My computer, and the drive isn't showing up. I go into device manager, and it's there and it says it's working fine. Usually, i have to install the drive or something like that. How do i install this one?

Thanks

Ray.
