IEEE 1394...

[Godfather950]

OK I am new to Hard Forum so please someone try to help. I have a toshiba laptop which yesterday I tried to do a complete factory restore, with the ghosting restore discs they gave me. I got windows installed, but cannot for the life of me get this Adaptec PC Card IEEE FireConnect Firewire Controller to install. I went to adaptec online and they said windows is supposed to carry the drivers but of course there is a problem. They offer no driver download and windows cannot properly install the card. This card was working under the same cercamstances b4 the restore. Microsoft and google searches have produced nothing, What to do?

Any help is awsome,
Jimmy

Is it a built in controller or a PCMCIA card? What is the error that Windows gives when you try to install the card?

It might also help if you tell us what OS you are using. Also, check the device manager and make sure the PCMCIA controller is installed properly.
