LaCie Setup Assistant - can I redownload it?

Have a Rugged 500gb Fw800/400/USB disk. Am running it with Snow Leopard, and when Setup Assistant started the first time it said it couldn't work with Snow Leopard. I followed instructions etc to format using Disk Utility for Mac which went fine.

However, I've inadvertently deleted all the docs and backup tools that came with the drive (didn't copy them off before the format). I see I can download the individual pdf and .zip files from the LaCie site, but cannot find the Setup Assistant anywhere. Is it possible to re-download this onto the drive so when I plug it in it will show up? (ie, it'll act 'like new')?

I posted on the LaCie forum, but wondered if anyone here was able to help.

Thanks

You really don't need that "Setup Assistant". Just reformat the drive with Disk Utility and that's the same thing as "Brand New".
