HD error 10 ?

[Karl]

What is error 10 on Harddisk? Hitachi 80 GB, external inclosure, Firewire.

Where did the error come from? Device Manager?

What OS 98/ME or 2k/XP?

If this was from the device manager, it means the device cannot start. This
is usually the result of bad HW or a bad or incorrect driver.

Virtually everything in XP is accessed through a driver. In this case, I
suspect that you have a problem with your Firewire driver stack since it
works with USB.

How and where do I check that?

I should have said it is probably a problem with your Firewire driver stack,
Firewire controller or firewire interface on the disk.

Do you have another firewire device you could plug in?

Yes, the Digital camcorder works fine. if I use even the same FW cable. Same
slot or different slot .

I do not know what a FW driver stack is though. Driver stack for what? The
enclosure or the HD ?

 

[Marc Reinig]

My guess is that your drive has a problem with the firewire interface.

Does the drive work on another computer with Firewire?
