Disk Formatted. Now What?

Hi, Recently I aquired a Mac and the Lacie playHD stopped working: on the Mac I had no permissions to write or delete a file. So I formatted the disk, hopping to solve the problem. Now I can write and delete files, but the disk only works has a external drive. If I connect it to the TV, nothing appears. Obviously the original software was deleted as well as all the movies I had in it. How can I install this software again so that I can continue using it as a multimedia drive? Thanks, Nuno
