We have 4 LaCie Cirrus 80 MB drives which are causing us trouble.
Whenever the reset button is hit or there's a power interruption
the Mac will not boot from the hard drive. The mac finds the
disk but cannot mount it. The only way to recover without
reinitializing is to run the manufacturer's installer (Silver
Lining), try to mount the disk TWICE, and then run Disk First
Aid. The installer reports a "Bad Master Directory" which 
DFA will repair. Then you can boot from the disk again. Has anyone
seen this behavior before? Should I try formatting the disk with
a different brand of software? 

Technical support at LaCie was pretty bad. They claimed that
the sofware was SUPPOSED to work like that when there is a 
power failure. Then they had the gall to tell me to REMOVE
the reset button. And were left speechless when I asked what
one was supposed to do when programming errors caused system
bombs!!! GGGrrrrrr!!!!!

We are using a MACII, System 6.0.3, Finder 6.1, no non-Apple
INITs or CDEVs, no other drives. This drive has a single
partition.

Right now I wouldn't TAKE one of these drives if they PAID me. I
have already spent many hours dealing with people who initialize
these disk because of lack of understanding.
