Here is the link to a windows fix, but I would try everything else first.

By the way, just re-reading your post and it looks like you powered on the 828 _before_ installing the drivers? That wont work. You must have the 828 disconnected and then install the drivers. Then restart the machine (this isnt always a necessary step, but it cant hurt), THEN you can hook up the de...

Indeed weird, and exactly what happened to me. Im afraid what you _might_ be looking at is the issue of the onboard firewire chipset. I too had a working motu 828 that began not working with a fresh xp install. Im sorry to say those fixes for windows may indeed not work. Reference my post "MOTU...

I also think he got...

My hard drive recently failed , and upon replacing it, the person fixing my machine insisted I get all the windows upgrades, against my instinct. I still had service pack 1 and had never gotten any u...
