AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

Do NOT, under any circumstances, buy a LaCie hard drive if you are running WinXP with SP2.
I will admit that I didn't do my homework on this - I bought it because it was there in the store and LaCie has a great reputation in monitors - how bad could it be?
BAD.
As in, THE WORST.
They are advertised as compatible with WinXP. But in small print on their tech support site, they say it's NOT compatible with SP2. Well if that was on the packaging, obviously I wouldn't have bought it! Who goes to the tech support site before they need tech support?
I bought the drive this past weekend. I moved all my images to this drive. 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. I was going to dupe them to CD this weekend. The drive didn't last a week! I read one report where a LaCie drive didn't last 2 hours!
Can't even do data recovery - the computer doesn't even see it now.
Well, CRAP.
