I just got an external Lacie Drive because they always have great compatability with macs. I got home plugged it into my MacBook Pro via firewire 400 and---nothing. I realized I had to install the Lacie driver so proceeded to do so. I through in the CD into the macs built in drive and pressed the Lacie DiscRecording Package which will give it support. I began the installation and it says "error can't write some files to /Library". On top of that the Drive won't even eject, I hit the button and it blinks 4 times and makes a little humming sound but nothing happens. I am currently concerned with installing the drivers and have even tried downloading and installing them but nothing. BTW I manually ejected it and left it open while I powered up the drive to see if possibly the mechanism was broke but it closed perfectly fine. I have even tried opening the Drive in Windows XP in Parallels and nothing.

It has the lastest firmware too.

Please help any suggestions on anything will be helpful.

The error seems to be in writing those files to the destination. Often that's a simple permissions error. As a test try making the /Library directory read/write all .. instead of being (probably) owned by "system" or similar. Once the files are written then you can change it back.

Other things to look at are the drive allocation.. see if it is in your device tables at all.. if not then possibly try manually adding it. (sorry.. my unix os skills are very rusty so I can only help in a general way)
