That�s what I figured on removing the LaCie hehe.. For some reason, you CAN flash the firmware via fire wire on a PC but not a Mac, according to Pioneer's website.. I don�t get it but oh well.. My Pc is a bit out of date and doesn�t have fire wire, and I bought my LaCie too hastily, and should've waited another week and got the newer slim revision that also has USB on it.. I hate it when companies do that!
