441334 2006-03-27 23:20:00 then you need to reload the drivers for that..... drcspy (146)
441335 2006-03-27 23:27:00 Disable on-board sound from the BIOS.

Did you install any drivers for the firewire card?

441336 2006-03-28 03:47:00 I know XP loads most firewire drivers. I use a Panasonic dv cam here. XP detects it no prob at all. And I can use it in Nerovision, or Movie Maker.

However, on the other hand, Windows 2000 doesnt wanna know about it.

So, I cant use it in 2K to capture with. I can connect it to a com port in 2K, but the transfer of video, is disabled. I can only use it for transferring photos.

If I ever install Windows 2K, on one of these again.

441337 2006-03-28 22:34:00 i have xp :( i'm gonna pick up a new cable for my cam tomorrow and see if that is the prob. so far it looks like i am not doing anything wrong and the cam definately worked when i used it at work. Downie (10075)
441338 2006-03-29 20:59:00 changed cable, all is fine now with cam yay!

but i still can't get the external hard drive to be detected. here's the deal, i partitioned it on the mac at work, and now i'm trying to access it via my home pc, would this cause a prob?

441339 2006-03-29 23:39:00 If the hdd has been formatted in a MAC format, I doubt XP will be able to read it.

Without an emulator / software / hardware that can read MAC formatted hard drives.

Unless the hdd gets detected in XP / or on the post screen, u can format it by going to control panel / admin tools / computer management / disk management.

Highlight it, and format it.

441340 2006-03-29 23:53:00 my pc has now detected the hdd, but will not read it unless i partition it, will htis erase the data i have stored from my mac. what software can i use to read it? Downie (10075)
441341 2006-03-30 00:39:00 There's Transmac ( . asy . com/) which looks like it can read most MAC things (floppy/hdd" target="_blank">www . asy . com/) which looks like it can read most MAC things (floppy etc), but it isnt free .

BUT, it may have limitations, on how much of a hdd / floppy it can read .

Until its registered .
