Desktop HD won't mount

[gorgewags]

My LaCie BigDisc HD won't mount on the desktop of my MacBook Pro. Is there some other place I can find and open the icons, or is there another procedure to follow to correct this problem?
Thanks-
Todd

Take a look at Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility (DU) and see if it shows up there. You can even mount with DU.

What file system does this external LaCie use?

PS: The LaCie HDD is not a Desktop HD, it just shows on the Desktop, as it does in Finder's Sidebar.
