Can anyone help me continue to use my LaCie d2 DVD R/W Drive on my Intel iMac? The drive can read okay, but I cannot burn disks the only driver software that I have is Toast 6 Titanium which is power PC only.
FWIW, you don't need driver software - you need software that'll burn to a CD or DVD (which includes encoding) so you can use the DVD in any DVD player; Toast is the best, but there are a few others I've heard - just google for burn software and make sure it's compatible with 10.7 on a Mac.

First you need to use a supported drive within your hardware system in this case a PowerPC based G5 and under the OS it runs. You can't use an Intel driver as thats like putting gas into your diesel car.
Everything you need to install the LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW with LightScribe comes in the box, including the AC adapter, a FireWire cable, a USB 2.0 cable, a LaCie Utilities disc, and a quick-install guide. The guide offers little practical help; fortunately, installation is as simple as powering up the drive and attaching the FireWire or USB cable to the host PC. Once connected, Windows XP sees the drive and installs the proper drivers (Windows 98 SE and Me users will need to preinstall the d2 drivers from the utilities disc). If you're looking for more details on the drive and how to use it, refer to the electronic user manual included on the utilities disc.
LaCie covers the d2 LightScribe with a standard one-year warranty (though you may be able to purchase extended-protection plans through your retailer). Calls to technical support will carry a toll charge, but you can reach support by phone or fax Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT. The LaCie Web site offers additional support with a searchable FAQ, driver downloads, tutorials, and e-mail support.

It can be incredibly difficult to find the exact driver for your d2 DVDRW 22x USB with LightScribe-based hardware unit, even directly on the website of Lacie or a related manufacturer. Although you might have plenty of experience in handling d2 DVDRW 22x USB with LightScribe drivers, there still is a lot of time involved in this update process.

One wierd way to fix this issue (non-mounting and/or blue flashing power light)...especially with the LaCie d2 drives (a d2 500GB and a d2 600GB) is:1. Unplug the cable (in my case USB).2. Unplug the power cord from wall.3. Pick up drive.4. Walk over to a 'real' PC running Windows XP (I don't have an Intel Mac to test whether Bootcamp or Parallels will work).5. Plug USB into PC.6. Plug the power in.7. Turn on drive.8. Wait for drive to spin up..it might ask for driver install..and probably wont mount, but usually the blue light goes steady.9. Reverse the process and plug it back into the Mac.10. Reboot the Mac.Ninety percent of the time the drive remounts doing this...the 10 percent it didn't I repeated the process and it remounted.Don't know why it works..but it does.I had to do this the very 1st time to get it to mount.
I should have also mentioned that both firewire (1394) and usb interface boards for lacie and other equipment is static-sensitive. If one touches the firewire or usb port or plugs in a cord (either to the Lacie drive or the port on the Mac), there's a chance that the interface chip will be zapped. On the desktop Mac, one can install another PCI firewire/usb card, but on the external drive not under warranty, you'll need to pull the drive and place it in another case. One that is under warranty may mean that you have to void the warranty to get at your data. Normally, the drive itself is fine -- just the interface board is toast. 2ff7e9595c
