OK, so I have this Maxtor external firewire drive and I cannot for the life of me get Win2k to recognize it. Anyone who helps me out gets a dedicated login to my server (with this drive it makes about 100 gigs of shows)

What kind of drive? By that I mean what model type? ???
This may be a stupid suggestion but is it plugged into the wall? I know some drives require straight AC (esp. the big ones, i.e. >80 gigs). So...check the connections between the drive and computer and the drive and the wall.

Connected to the wall and the machine. firewire card is recognized by the machine...

Hmm...that's weird. You sure it's formatted and you have the drivers installed? If so, I might be stumped...

p.s. I'm guessing you have tried the start->settings->control panel->add/remove hardware.
Yes and yes on both.

Alright, I'm reaching but does the drive work with any of your other machines?
-d
Drive worked with THIS machine before I had to reformat and install a new OS.
Okay, is that the DiamondMax 60? Is it a Fireball? Is there a specific model number on the back on the unit?
