Daisychaining External Hard Drives - USB and Firewire

I want to transfer my files from one external hard drive to the other external hard drive. The computer I have right now does not have any firewire ports.

The hard drive I want to transfer my files to is a LaCie D2 extreme triple interface external hard drive. This drive has both USB 2.0 and firewire connectivity.

The hard drive I want to transfer my files from is a Maxtor external hard drive with only firewire input/output.

I know I can daisychain firewire connections. But, can I connect my LaCie drive to my new computer using USB 2.0, then daisychain the maxtor drive to the Lacie drive using firewire?

thanks all
