Use Windows Update. You may need to set Windows Update to automatically download and install recommended updates.
Install the software from the equipment manufacturer. For example, if the device with the disc, the disc may contain device drivers for installed software.
To download and update drivers. Use this method can be installed from the manufacturer's Web site to download drivers. If Windows Update can not find the device driver and the device is not installed with the driver software, then do this. Windows 7 Compatibility Center website lists thousands of devices can be directly through the link to download the driver.
As far as I can tell, Windows Update from the Device Manager should find the appropriate driver. There are no Firewire drivers for this laptop on the HP site for any listed OS
Go to the Device Manager, right click on the device. Then click either Update Driver or choose Properties, the drivers tab and the Update driver button. Do create a system restore point first just in case. You can also uninstall the driver, reboot the computer and let Windows find the driver when it finds new hardware. Please note an additional step may be needed if you do not have Windows Update set to automatically install. (The step is opening Windows Update and manually installing the waiting driver update.)
I hope this helps.
