Need a 1394 PCI Firewire card for Dell Deminion 8300run.XP-SP3
Can't get my Dell 8300 to recognize my firewire card-Adaptec 4300 Firewire card. I am running Win XP and Service Pk 3.It is installed but will not recognize the firewire can someone recommend a compatabile one to use in my Dell 8300 that will work?? Is there any other than "DELL's" on the market?
After installing SP3 my firewire card stopped working even though it is still showing in windows XP system devices. So must be a problem with SP3

to transfer video from your camcorder to your pc you will need a firewire cable (ieee 1394). only with this cable you will be able to transer video.
you will also need a firewire port on your pc.
if you don't have one then you can buy a firewire pci card.
Need a 1394 firewire port and suitable software like Corel Videostudio. Then no problems.
When no 1394 port thoes pci cards come cheap, $15 or so. Video studio retails about $100 I think, you can download a free limited 30 day trial from Corel. Please uninstaal that demo after 30 days with the same install programm otherwise deep ****.
1394 drivers should be native to XP, you may be able to correct this by running an SFC scan
Take out the IEEE1394 card Insert your Windows CD (if you do not have it order a backup from dell) Exit out of 'install screen' click Start click Run type 'sfc /scannow' press enter you should see a progress bar, when finished restart the computer
this compared critical windows files on harddrive vs CD, and replaces missing and corrupt files
Firewire: (8 pin header on board) this board uses the 4pin firewire connection standard NOT THE 6/9 PIN!!!! you only need to connect 4 pins and if you have a thick case ground cable you can use it
board is slikscreened with numbers but for reference pin 7 is towards bracket towards top edge of card pin 8 is towards bracked towards gold edge connector
card header
5 TPB- Orange
6 TPB+ Blue
7 TPA- Red
8 TPB+ Green
3 Case Gnd Thick Black (not thin black) if you have one
(white 30vdc) and (thin black, signal Gnd) wires are not used
pins 1 and 2 are also unused for firewire connections please note that this card has +12v on pin 2 instead of the 30v dc that a normal firewire 6 pin connection has
Firewire and USB are not the same things
You will need a Firewire host adapter installed in your PC - such as Q-Tec PCI card (IEEE 1394 compatible) which comes with software / drivers
if you are using a desktop, you require a an addon card called IEEE 1394 firewire card, which you have to install it on your motherboard's PCI slot, then using the firewire cable which you get along with the card should be connected to the card and DV port of the camera, then using the MOVIE MAKER software of windows XP, you can download the video.
After installing SP3 my firewire card stopped working even though it is still showing in windows XP system devices. So must be a problem with SP3
