Hi, all. I recently bought a LaCie Little Big Disk (Thunderbolt edition) 1TB version.
I installed it on my Macbook Pro and all seems fine in mac OS. However, when I attempt to plug it into Windows (boot camp), Windows can't pick up the drive at all (doesn't see it in device manager and a scan for new devices won't pick it up).
LaCie support says the drive is not meant for Windows. what I wanted to know from anyone who's used the drive is, have they found that the drive is utterly unusable in Windows except with virtual machines from Mac OS (shared)? Or has anyone found a way to get Windows to read and work with the drive. I may have to take it back if it turns out to be solely usable in Mac OS as I rotate routinely between both operating systems.
Thanks all
