You connect an external hard disk that is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) 1394 standard to a Windows Vista-based computer. However, the external hard disk is not detected.

This symptom occurs on dual-capability external hard disks that can be connected by using an IEEE 1394 connection or a USB connection. However, this symptom only occurs when the external hard disk is connected by using an IEEE 1394 connection.
