RJ, If you have one of the gold colored firewire cables I would recommend getting one of the Granite Digital cables from Flex, and throwing the old one to the moon..... The supplied cables sometimes last a few months and then they stop working. Regardless it will help with future troubleshooting and help eleminate one of the most common problems and help point you in the right direction. Good luck.....
