i went into bios, disabled sata, serial and modem. removed then reinstalled
card. Still will not assign drivers, says data invalid code 28. New irq is 12
and still not in numerical sequence.--
Thank you,

The irq is unshared in irq 5. Do you still recommend disabeling others? I
have also tried all PCI slots.

If you're trying to install one, two, or three cards; I'd stay out of XP and
work it at the bios level first. Once successful there, XP should have no
problems.
Other than the typical PCI slot/card musical chair thing, there's other
things you can do. Disable things in the bios you're not using like a com
port or 2, printer/parallel port, floppy controller, hardware as part of the
motherboard like LAN or SATA as examples. Then, if you can't get an
unshared irq to the Firewire card, try the musical chairs routine on the
slots.
Firewire and SCSI seem to work best, if at all in some occasions, if they
have an unshared irq at the bios level.

Using safe mode did not work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a machspeed K8M8MS MB, amd 3700 64 cpu and running win xp

I have 2 pci firewire cards that will not install the drivers but
does show
up as new hardware in device manager. I took both of these cards
and tried
them in another computer and windows loads drivers flawlessly. I'm
thinking
must be something in the setup in bios but can not find the
problem. I have
tried several times and several things to no avail. I have even
tried
removing all hardware and most software. 1 of the cards is an ultra
ult31342
Ultra does not have drivers on a disk. I have called them for tech
support
and also have called mach speed. I have tried the hotfix on
microsoft site
also. Can anyone help? Been trying on and off for over 2 months
now.
