[Guest]

Hello i have an Emachines m6811 laptop. I am using a firewire 800 cardbus and
a Mybook Pro 500gb external HD, win XP SP2.

When i use the My book with usb it works great and when i try to use the
firewire 800 it will give me an error message saying "The request can not be
performed because of an I/O device error" Anyone know anything that will help
me with this? Thanks alot!!!
