The Hurz Pfurz hack is only necessary when you have an external drive since yours is internal it would not be needed. I followed Omar Willey's advice and installed Patch Burn this allowed me to burn directly from iDVD to the external drive. If your LaCie drive has Nec internals as well it may help your computer recognize your new drive. It is a very small download and now allows me to burn from the finder, iPhoto and iTunes as well. Hope you get it working Gerhard P.S.
