The drive is not completely detected on my laptop, too.
Ubuntu 11.10, Kernel 3.0.0-13-generic, 32bit
With the "Disk Utility 3.0.2" Tool I am able to discover the drive, but I get 
error messages, whenever I try to format it:

Error formatting drive
An error occurred while performing an operation on "Hard Disk" (LaCie Rugged FW 
USB3): The operation failed
Details: Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot 
open /dev/sdb: No such device or address.

I can open the drive with Windows 7 (it automatically mounts).
The application "Start.exe" on the drive can reformat the drive with a FAT and 
NTFS partition, where the FAT partition is labeled with "Linux". I will try 
this later, so a workaround could be to reformat the drive within Windows.
