[QUOTE="Neuthrone, post: 496258, member: 48521"] Today I got a Lacie Porsche Design 2TB External Hard Disk Drive for my Ubuntu Linux 15.10 Wily Werewolf, I bought it from the Apple Store, which told me that it should work on my Linux laptop since they count it as a "PC" operating system. I opened the box, it said it had software to install on the computer for Mac OSX and Windows PC computers, since I have mono-develop and I'm getting Wine Compatibility Layer on my computer, I thought nothing of it. I plugged in the hard drive, found the .exe file to install it, clicked on it like I do with most of my Visual Basic files I create on my computer, the terminal window opened for just one millisecond, and didn't bring me to the setup install screen. I tried it one more time, thinking it was some sort of glitch in the software, happens sometimes, it did the same thing. I have tried thinking about using the Mac OSX file, since Mac is a UNIX-like environment like Ubuntu, only to remember they have a special coding system and kernel that only Mac Software runs on. I've tried everything as of now, I will try Wine when I get it, but I'm doubting it would work at all for the Windows .exe file on the Lexie hard drive. I'm open to anyway to fix it, even completely wiping the entire drive. [/QUOTE]
