Firewire Hard Drive

Sounds like a clear driver problem. Get the latest driver from the manufacturer *or* see in Windows Update has a solution.

If possible, provide a link to the product page from that site. Possibly listed here?

I have a Firewire drive plugged into a firewire port via a PCMI card why doesn't Win 7 let me see the drive? In device manger it shows the device but will not let me see it in my computer/explore or even mount it?

PCMCIA card?

Are the drivers for the *card* working correctly?

You shouldn't need drivers for a 1384 device - BUT, you may need to update your Firewire device drivers themselves as the actual controller may not be listed on the W7-QVL.

Check your 'Device Manager' and look for any oddities in the form of question marks, exclamation marks, etc.

Yup - that is what I was thinking....

I I am correct and this is a PCI / PCMCIA card, then it is not a part of the normal motherboard of the machine- thus it would quite probably have proprietary drivers, and would need to be installed to function correctly in Windows 7....
