Some computers mistakenly identify a LaCie hard disk as a "TUSB 6250 Boot Device." If this is happening, follow the procedure below to correct the issue.
- Remove all the cords from the back of the drive. Both power and USB.
- Reconnect only the power supply.
- Manually power the drive. The blue activity light on the front is also the power button.
- After about 15 seconds, regardless if the light is solid or flashing, reconnect the USB cable.
During this procedure, we suggest using a port directly on the computer, and if the computer is a desktop, a rear port. No hubs or port replicators are advised, powered or otherwise. Front ports on a tower computer, as well as ports on a monitor, are examples of things not to connect through, for troubleshooting purposes.
