    Hello. I'm trying to capture footage from an HV20 camera. For some reason, when I connect with Firewire Windows 7 Pro does not see the camera. At first I thought it was the camera but I tested it on an XP computer and it found it.

    I tested my external HDD with firewire on my laptop's port and it worked fine.

    I tried using the legacy driver and it didn't work. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling; didn't work.

    Heck I even bought an expresscard with firewire and that didn't work either.


    What's going on?

    I reformatted my HD and that didn't fix it.

    If it's a bad firewire port I understand but why wouldn't even an expresscard work? Doesn't make sense.
