My computer no longer detects my dv camera (JVC model GR-D347U) via firewire, is there a software issue?

June 26, 2009

I have a different video camera that I connected to the computer with the same cable, and the computer would not recognize that camcorder either. However, I have connected both camcorders to my VCR with the same firewire cable and had no problems. I also connected the other camcorder to another computer with the same firewire cable and had no problems. Therefore, I believe it's the computer, either the port itself or the software. I called Dell and they said walked me through a diagnostics test and they said it wasn't the firewire PORT, but it was a software issue…I have connected this DV camera to this computer before, so I know it'll work, but I don't know what seems to be blocking it. Any suggestions?

For my computer credit…Multimedia technology or intgrated computer applications?

I want to be a journalist.

like checking the computer for errors and how do you do a diagnostics check for hardware and software problems?

I just reinstalled windows XP. Now one of the hard drives won’t show up in My Computer?

June 24, 2009

I can see the drive in the device manager and it shows up in the BIOS when I first boot up. When I run the Western Digital diagnostic software it detects the hard drive as well but it wants to erase the data in order to install it. Is there a way to get the data off the hard drive before it is installed or otherwise get My Computer to recognize it?
Thanks
