I recently bought a new laptop. My last one finally went beyond fixing, so I saved the hard drive and got rid of it. I got a device that would hook it up to my new computer via firewire, a firewire port express card, and a firewire, but when I plug everything in, my computer won't recognize that anything's plugged into it. My computer now is running on Vista and the old drive is XP, so I figure that has something to do with it. Is there any way to fix this without spending too much more money?

You still need to install firewire drivers for your hardware.

I've noticed that some hardware makers don't include a driver disk any more, they just give you a link to their website where the drivers are located. The driver disk takes up more room than the actual hardware does for a lot of items.
