Hi,
I hate LaCie although some of their boxes look kinda slick -

Instead of starting using the Option key, start holding the C key to
boot the Hardware Test CD. Make sure the Hardware Test CD is the ONLY

Sure, if you want to totally ignore everything I said.
This may be a fine file gallery if all you want is to look and access.
