My Lacie Hard Drive is not seen any longer by my Toshiba laptop running on Vista. I can see the little light and know the Lacie has power. Also when I turn it on and off I can here a Windows sound indicating it is off or on. However under the C drive it is invisible

please test the hard drive on any other computer and see what happens there. if the hard drive doesn't work in more than 2 computers, then consider how old is the power supply that the drive has? has it been dropped or anything similar?
the powersupplies wear out within 1 year of use, and need to be replaced after that, or you may want to replace the entire hard drive case.
if the drive has been dropped its no longer functioning.
please test the drive on another computer and let me know the results.
I would need to take a look at it over remote support to see whats wrong, if you get on the pc and connect the hard drive, download the teamviewer remote support program from this link
