| 447955 | 2006-04-20 12:03:00 | Hi I made a thread on IEEE 1394 not working on WinXP SP1a & SP2. I looked up everywhere on the net but there is yet no solution to this. How many people here facing this problem. |

| 447956 | 2006-04-20 12:19:00 | You mean this one: forums.pcworld.co.nz ? Is the firewire actually connected to the motherboard? Open the case, have a look. Check with your mobo manual, someone may have connected it wrong or made some stupid mistake (hey.. it happens). Drivers installed? Faulty cable/connection/connector? You never answered the last post in the above thread either. |

The port on your case may be incorrectly wired to a connector on the motherboard. Some cases have individual plugs for each wire going to USB and Firewire sockets. You will need both case and motherboard manuals to check that each plug is on the correct MB pin. |

| 447960 | 2006-04-21 00:39:00 | I feel like kicking my case now!!!!!!!!!!. I just unplugged the firewire connection on my motherboard. started the computer and went to device manager. I still see IEEE 1394 Bus controller \ VIA OHCI Complaint IEEE 1394 host controller. Now the BIG F**** question is, why IEEE1394 still listed in device manager. when i have physically removed the hardware. I rightclicked on IEEE1394 & uninstalled it at that moment. and then scanned for hardware changes but IEEE1394 still gets installed back. Have a look at this screenshot. i3.tinypic.com Notice the location, It is PCI Slot 5, when IEEE 1394 is not even connected to PCI & i only have 4 slots. What can i do. |

| 447961 | 2006-04-21 00:50:00 | So, is the firewire onboard (on the mobo), or were u using a PCI firewire card or what?? Or have you got both? Is it onboard and u have a PCI firewire card?? What do u mean by unplugged?? You removed the firewire PCI card (if this is what u have), altogether? Whats the brand/model of this motherboard? |

Now the BIG F**** question is, why IEEE1394 still listed in device manager. when i have physically removed the hardware. because you havn't removed the hardware, just the leads. with onboard deveices you will need to turn it off in the bios. sometimes you can get it when windows has loaded the drivers for a device(and shows in device manger) even tho its disabled in the bios, so make sure its actually on. windows often treats onboard devices as a pci device hence the pci slot assignment. |

The firewire port is located on the left hand side of the case, there is a cable which runs from that port to the IEEE1394 socket located on the motherboard . What do u mean by unplugged?? You removed the firewire PCI card (if this is what u have), altogether? I un plug the cable which runs from my IEEE1394 socket on the mobo to the port infront of my case . Whats the brand/model of this motherboard?Its a MSI 945P . Anyother details you need abt my pc, click on the link in my signature . |
