Howdy!
I recently purchased a 500BG LaCie Big Disk Extreme with triple access
(FW800, FW400, USB). I already have a Maxtor 200GB OneTouch that has
2 firewire ports; used to have another Maxtor 200GB linked to this drive, but
it met an untimely end. I tried to hook the new LaCie drive to my system
through the Maxtor's firewire port, but no joy. The LaCie drive works fine
plugged directly into the desktop computer. Can the Maxtor drive be daisy
chained into the LaCie drive? It so, how? What about the reverse (LaCie
into the Maxtor firewire port)? When I try hooking the LaCie into the Maxtor
firewire port, it does not appear as a system device in My Computer screen.
(Yes, I am running Windows XP Home Edition on a Gateway 550GR; please
don't hate me! )
Any help would be welcome. Thanks!
