i've a HP pavilion zt3000 notebook with an integrated IEEE 1394 firewire port. And i've a samsung digicam vp-d5000i camcorder.

I tried to attached a 4-4 pin firewire cable to the notebook and the camcorder. The camcorder display a "DV" icon upon attaching to the notebook. But in my notebook, the windows xp pro with service pack 2 does not detech the camcorder at all. No auto-detection of any kind.

But when i tried to connect the camcorder to a pc with firewire, it works fine. So i suspect my firewire port in my notebook is spoilt, thus i got myself a pcmia firewire card.

Thus from a 6-4 pin cable to connect from the pcmia to the camcorder. But still, it does not detect the camcorder at all.

What could be the problem now??? Am i missing some drivers or patch??? Someone please help. Thanks

I too am looking for information for the same problem, My HP Pavilion a750y Windows XP SP2 doesn't see my Samsung SC-D107 connected. The CD driver don't have the IEEE 1394 driver. Someone plese help!!!

With the notebook - you must use the camcorder power supply (not just the camcorder battery)

Have you tried to verify that the notebook port and the PCMCIA card are OHCI compliant.

Since you got it to work in a desktop - there must be some problem with the HP...

I have the same problem with my Packard Bell EasyNote A. How do I know if my 1394-port and the PCMCIA card are OHCI compliant?
Furthermore the USB-device driver DVC.sys is not digitally signed.
Thank you for reply!
