[QUOTE="EthanD, post: 1206263, member: 196030"] I have a 1tb Lacie hard drive that I've owned for about 5 months now. I use it as my time machine back up and never have had a problem with it before. However, it has recently stopped being recognized by my 2009 MacBookPro. It would show up on Finder and my desktop for about a minute when I plugged it in but would then reject itself. I've used both usb 2 and a firewire 800 to connect and I have a reliable power source. It doesn't show up in system profiler and I have used Disk Utility to repair it, which said it was okay. I don't know if this would have a difference but the hard drive in my MBP is new, my old one (a 320gb) failed so I had the Apple Store replace with a larger capacity model (a 500gb). I really hope someone out there can be of some help. I'm growing pretty desperate. [/QUOTE]
