System Profiler will show the volume as well, if it's mounted.
If Disk Utility doesn't show it at all, something may be wrong
with the drive or enclosure. Some (generally older) FW enclosures
have master/slave/cable select issues. Try setting the drive
jumpers to Master.
Make sure the drive is plugged in all the way, sometimes it's hard
getting the cables put in.

Thanks Bruce,
This particular model of LaCie appears to be in a sealed case with
no access to drive jumpers. Any suggestions? Have replugged cables.
Drive is about three years old.
No drive case is sealed. Some are just tricky about how to open.
You could try doing a web search on "opening lacie". LaCie is a
popular drive and it's quite likely someone posted instructions on
how to open it. If not a little probing should solve the puzzle.
