Does the LaCie show up in Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities)?


If so, how is it formatted?


Has the LaCie been used on this iMac before? Another Mac? A Windows computer?

To my knowledge LaCie makes hard disk drives, now owned by Seagate. If you are asking about some kind of LaCie backup product then you ought to contact them.


Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support
