WTF?

So I plug in my LaCie external HD to dump all the recent acquisitions from my macbook, and the drive won't appear on my desktop.

Power's flowing, fans are on in the drive, I tried both the USB ports on the computer--no drive shows up. 

Anyone got a clue?

Open up Disk Utility - does the device show up at all on the left side?  If so, click on the top level of the drive and hit Repair on the right side. 

If it doesn't show up at all, then perhaps try a different USB cable?

Thanks tet.

I just fired it up again after dis- & re-connecting the cable--now it shows up. This is after several failed attempts. I'll use disk utility next time.

Lock it up, mods!
