If this were Windoze software, there would be some way to turn the

i think this is solvable, but vague descriptions are not going to cut
it; obviously your gurus don't even know how to google so let me give
you what i've got: first of all i plug multi-format drives into Macs all
the time and get no such pop-up -- without the exact message text, it
sounds to me like the message that occurs for unformated volumes or
volumes whose format Mac OS X can't recognize; the same message can
occur on drives with electrical/physical problems or with volume corruption
so why are you getting the message? it might have to do with how La Cie
sets up the drive -- La Cie is not the same fantastic vendor it was ten
or fifteen years ago, they make futzy drives and i avoid them; is it
possible there's an additional partition in an odd format, perhaps one
supplied by LaCie? to find out open Disk Utility, click on the drive
name in the left column, and click on the Partition tab -- what do you
see? also what is the Partition Map Scheme reported toward the bottom of
that display? are you on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6?
btw, are you properly dismounting the drive before removing it?
given the right details i can do some googling for your gurus
