Hi.
I am running XP Home on a Dell Inspiron 5000 (yep--a
laptop). It's a PIII 600 with 256 MB.
Quite simply, I usually cannot get the unit to recognize
my external firewire HD. I have connected it to the unit
with a PCMCIA adaptor, which I have powered with an AC
adaptor. 6 pin to 6 pin connection to the ext HD.
I have switched the slot the PCMCIA adaptor card is in; I
have changed the configuration of firewire devices
(including, of course, unplugging all except the ext HD);
and I have purchased new adaptor and firewire cables.
I have attempted to solicit support from MS, Dell, and
the manufacturer of the firewire adaptor, but they all
point the finger at one another.
Any ideas?
