Windows users: Double-click the LaCie drive icon in My Computer.
Mac users: Double-click the “LaCie Setup Assistant” icon on your desktop.
NOTE: If you do not launch LaCie Setup Assistant or if you quit LaCie Setup
Assistant after the formatting has begun, your drive will not be ready to use
and will require manual formatting. The user manual and utilities will not be
available on your drive and will have to be downloaded from the LaCie website:

NOTE: Using LaCie Setup Assistant does not prevent you from using your
computer’s native disk utility program to format or partition your LaCie drive.
Simply follow the Setup Assistant through completion, then use your computer’s
native disk utility (Disk Management for Windows or Disk Utility for Mac) to
reformat your drive.
