I/O Device Error Help

[embalse]

I have just installed a Belkin Firewire 800 3-Port PCI Card on a Windows XP system.

When I attach a HD using a 800 firewire cable the drive mounts.
In the Disk Management it states it is healthy with no problems.
In the Device Manager the Driver is Up todate and working.

BUT when I double click to open the drive up to see the folders I get this error message....

"I/O Device Error"....and it will not open.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I'm not with the computer now but as soon as I am I'll post back, though for some reason I am not permitted to post attachments.

OK.

Here's my IRQ. The Belkin has no16 as do others

No conflicts as far as I can tell. Will try the other two suggestions

Swapping around the PCI Card made no difference.
In the Phoenix BIOS I cannot find any reference to Plug and Play.

At this point I can only go back to my original question.
The MB is the OcUK Value IP35 Pro Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard.
It does not have any 1394 native sockets and I wonder whether this could be the source of the problem.

I doubt it because the controller itself is the interface to the bus.

Do you have the IEEE1394 Controller enabled under the onboard PCI device menu?

I have seached my BIOS till I'm as blue faced as the BIOS screen, but can find no reference to the IEEE1394 Controller unless it is called something else in the Pheonix BIOS.

you won't see an IRQ because it's a PnP device.

The option I mentioned above SHOULD be under the Integrated Peripherals Menu, Select On-Board PCI Devices and press Enter.


The list will show an option for IEEE1394 Controller - Change this to enabled.

However, thinking about it. You are using an off-board controller, so if it's already enabled, try disabling it and test.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll give it a go/..
