1394 not detected by XP Pro SP2

I agree with Mike. This sounds very much like a BIOS issue particularly on a MB that has major functions built in.

Thanks Derrick.

This is exactly my problem. There is no entries for 1394 connections in Control Panel, Device Manager (including hidden devices) and there is no 1394 entry in the registry too.
They where all there before my reinstall.

Thanks Aanarav.

This is how my problem started. I downloaded that particular KB. After the reboot, all instances of my 1394 DISAPPEARED! Go figure.

[Delfino]

I check that too. My 1394 is ENABLED in my BIOS.

[Delfino]

I did that too. I disconnected the two cables connected to the built in 1394 connectors in the motherboard hoping it will detect a new hardware. No dice.

In my original install, the following were present:
1394 connections in Network Connections
1394 bus controller in the Device Manager
In the registry local_machine>system>currentControlSet>Enum>1394

NONE of these is present now.

I thought of that too, but the 1394 is Enabled in my BIOS.

this is very interesting.

What is the BIOS version of the board? it should be version # 0039 if not here’s the link

I have the latest one #0039.

I am calling Intel Oct 5 for technical support. I will find out if this is a 1394 bus controller issue. Who knows, I might have to downgrade the motherboard BIOS to “catch” up with XP Pro (o:

Have you tried doing a system restore?

I can’t now.

I did another clean install last night. This time with no Windows update, just the XP Pro SP2. I loaded the chipset utilities that came with the motherboard.

BTW, 1394 bus controller is not detected as usual.

I am calling Intel tech support Oct 5 to find out if this is a 1394 bus controller issue.

My BIOS is up to date too. Maybe, I need to downgrade (:o
