Trying to get the computer to detect an iPod after I reformated the computer.

The firewire is in a SB Audigy with a 1394 port in it. I can charge the iPod via the port and all but it won't find it when I connect it and try to install the software. In device manager it says that the device could not be started. I am running XP and as AFAIK it dosent need any drivers for a firewire port. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am leaving for a vacation soon.
 
May I ask why this was moved to audio? It has nothing to do with audio.
 
It says what device can't be started? The firewire port? or the ipod?
 
It just says it can't be started and thats it.

I tried reinstalling the sound drivers but its not detecting it (We could not detect any SB Audigy Card in your system) yet its showing up in device manager. Yes I have the proper drivers. I got it to work was to extract the files and istall it outside of the .exe

Its not finding the firewire, and I know the iPod works 100%
 
try changing what PCI slot the card is in, that can fix alot of shit
 
Yep I did that to, still nothing. I also tried a SB Audigy Live and its still doing the same thing. I know these cards work as I tried them both before I reformated.
 
have you installed itunes yet? i think it has the drivers you need for talking to the ipod in whatever voodoo way it likes to.
