How do I install a Lacie 120GB External fire-wire Hardrive ?
I have just purchased the Powerpack 2008 version and installed no problem...just one small issue...I have a Lacie 120GB firewire HD that I cant find. Did it get installed? Where do I look for it? My other drives are listed on the desktop.
I am a rancher, I can usually figure this out,but after goggling (Firewire,Lacie,Mandriva,linux,harddrive,hd)in all combinations and spending last few days reading about what MIGHT pertain to my situation and trying different things and Screwing up the system so bad I had to re-install a few times....I come to you for HELP!! PLEASE!
I need to get this Lacie Firewire HD working...its my work hard drive,I have work data on it and need it to make money. I REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want to go back to windoze, but if I don't get a solution I'm going to be forced to...much to my disgust.

Check if you have the ieee1394 & ohci1394 modules loaded. Also, make sure you don't use the "noacpi" kernel option in your boot menu.

Also, before inserting the drive, run in a konsole: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

The kernel messages could indicate a problem.
If you know the device (such as /dev/sdb1) you can get some information with the udevinfo command:
udevinfo -q env -n /dev/sdb1

Well, the "...but if [place a condition here], I'll go back to windows/windoze/win-something-else..." sentence is useless, because it doesn't help in solving the problem

Typically if you nowadays (with hotplug, udev and all around) plug a disk in and it doesn't get recognized, chances are your operating system's kernel doesn't have a module (driver) for that sort of cadget you're trying to put in. I have no experience about firewire drivers in particular, because I've never had one, needed one, and this new pc I bought is the first one that actually has a firewire connector. But on to the matter..

To find out what happens, or what the system sees as happening, when you plug the disk in, see
before and after plugging the drive in (so that you see what new lines appear there). If there's nothing, that's a bad thing -- if there are some lines there, they might have information about what's happening or what's not happening (and at least tell that the system found out something has been attached to the connector). See what happens there..

Thanks for your help but I dont undestand any of the computer jargon yer telling me...did I mention I was a newbie.

I deciphered what ya were telling me...LOL...I will try these things.
Is there software or a command I can type to make it work?

[QUOTE=b0uncer;3124011]Well, the "...but if [place a condition here], I'll go back to windows/windoze/win-something-else..." sentence is useless, because it doesn't help in solving the problem

Yes thats true but it might explain why many people try linux, few keep it around. People use computers for work like myself. People need to be able to type something or install something to make stuff work.

Most folks dont have time to RTFM for every system to make a harddrive work.

to do thease just open a terminal and type dmesg at the command line after you have plugged in the drive

there is bound to be a terminal on your applications list somwhere,
possably called xterm, konsole or gnome-terminal

OK heres the results....if someone could please deciper...its Greek to me..I dont speek Greek..LOL...and perhaps pass along the approprate commands I can type to fix.
