I recently purchased the LaCie 500gb harddrive. It's the one that is
advertized to not need any drivers at all. In fact, to quote the
"getting started guide", all you do is "plug in the harddrive, and it
will work in a few seconds."
However, that is not the case. I am running WinXP Tablet edition, and
when I plug it in, I get an unknown device. When I search for the
drivers, it says that none are found, and that there was a problem
installing the new hardware.

Anyone know of anything I could do?

Did you connect it to the correct USB Bus?
