1394 firewire is active and running properly on my laptop (Dell Latitude E6400), but why doesnt it recognise my external harddrive? (This was not a problem a year ago!) It doesn`t show up in diskmanagement. I know my external harddrive is ok, and I also tried my soundcard through this firewire port without success. (It recogized both my soundcard and external harddrive a year ago!) I`ve tried update drivers to 1394 but didn`t find better drivers than already installed. I`ve tried reboot as well... Can anyone help me?
