I had bought a used LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk off a friend of mine. I trust him so I think its in working condition. The problem is he didn't have the install disk so i'm having trouble reformatting it and even having it show up on my COMPUTER. I went to the lacie website, tried GOING through their trouble shooting instructions but still nothing

I do own both a PC with windows 7 and a mac so I would like to have it working on both systems. When i plug it into either system the drive won't even show up. I'm completely new to Lacie products so i'm KIND of lost. I tried reading the manual but it just says that I need to start the start up assistant but i can't do that without the disc I guess.

Any INPUT to get me to get this thing working would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Is this the one?

Which connection are you USING?
Are you using the supplied external power supply?

The LaCie software is not required.yep thats the one. i just looked it up and i was not using the correct power supply. I'm gonna try ordering it. Thanks!!!
