Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP – FireWire Installation
After the first connection of a FireWire-based peripheral, Windows detects the drive, and will install it automatically as a new
peripheral, even if you have previously installed it on another port on the same
FireWire bus. Let Windows install the FireWire drivers of your LaCie drive.
Connect one end of the FireWire cable into the FireWire
port on the back of the LaCie d2 DL DVD±RW Drive.
Connect the other end of the
FireWire cable into an available
FireWireport on your computer.
