   Please consider using some punctuation in the future... that'll make your posts a lot easier to read.

   You shouldn't need any drivers at all.

   Did you buy the camcorder new or used? I've seen FireWire connectors stop working on older camcorders. In practice, FireWire connections (particularly the 4-pin connectors) are more delicate than a lot of people would care to admit.

   Does your computer's FireWire port work with other things that you connect to it? If you attach the camcorder to another computer, is it detected then? (It also doesn't matter a bit on the brand of the computer.)
