I finally had access via the Lacie Network Assistant and all was well. The RAID synchronized (looked like the #1 HD needed it) and I installed and formatted a third HD I had bought when I thought the #1 was toast. I recovered the remainder of the files via FTP onto a separate HD. It then proceeded to synchronize the RAID between the two disks, which worried me but I also hated to stop it. When I reapplied power, it booted up like normal (intialized the disks). While this was going on (file download) the power supply was moved by a family member and pulled out of the HD - hard shutdown.

I eventually was able to boot it with the rescue key and download the critical files to another hard drive. The blue light on the front blinked (signals intializing the drives) but the drives did not initialize(back LEDs did not come on). I believe I had a long term power loss at the house that outlasted my UPS. I have been using it fine for over a year.

My Lacie Big5 NAS Pro has two 2TB HD installed. I am having the same problem this person did. Sorry, this is not a solution but I didn't want to create another thread. Some drives draw almost all the power that a USB port will supply, and even a little degradation could push it over the limit. For example, does your drive plug in to wall power or draw all its power off the USB connector (again, I assumed USB for a start). I'm hoping that it will be something simple like a bad USB cable, a dead port on the computer, or power. If none of the simple tests finds the data, we might switch over to using some drive imaging tool like Clonezilla to recover as much of the data as possible. In extreme cases, and assuming that the case comes apart, and if you want to take the risk, you can open the case, take out the drive, and attach it directly to the motherboard. Look at the drive in the Disk Manager to see if it's recognized, if the partitions got messed up, and so forth. Try the LaCie drive on another computer to see if it works there. Try a USB pen drive in the computer's USB port to make sure that it's working
