Patch driver for increasing firewire stability. The prog was 1394MaxRec_v127.exe and after installing this and running it I was able to read and write to my drive without errors. I gather this problem with firewire is quite prevalent so if this info helps then good luck!

It works very (very) fine on another (Desktop) Computer but when I plug it to my VAIO PCG-FR415S Laptop and there's a great amount of data-traffic, the hardrive hangs up ...<BR />I thougt this may might be a problem, cause of the firewire controller is set to the same IRQ (...) as the USB controller. But I can't change the settings ... De-Activating USB doesn't function.<BR /><BR />Has anyone an idea to solve this problem?<BR /><BR />Thank you!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 06 Jun 2004 00:08:55 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-firewire-harddrive/m-p/106093#M128338 theatertoni 2004-06-06T00:08:55Z Re: Problem with Firewire Harddrive https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/problem-with-firewire-harddrive/m-p/106095#M128339 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hallo Theatertoni.<BR />VAIO FireWire/iLink re 4-pin!<BR />that is: an ext.
