Okay, so here's the schtick. I partitioned an iMac, loaded and set up Windows, used sysprep to get it ready for deployment, imaged and deployed, and now the firewire doesn't work on the imaged machines.

I ran the BootCamp repair, but it didn't resolve the issue. I searched Intel's website, but couldn't find anything. Anyone know where I might get the driver?

Did you install the Boot Camp drivers? Did you try reinstalling the drivers on a test machine? I haven't tried the Firewire port on my MBP, but it appears that the hardware is properly supported by the driver Apple supplies with BC 1.3.

I have installed the BootCamp drivers, at least on the original machine. After imaging the new iMac, if I plug in a firewire device, I get the "New hardware found" message and a question mark in my device manager.

I ran BootCamp's repair program, but to no avail. So, I'm down to locating the individual driver, if such a thing exists.

Try the Boot Camp 1.2 beta driver set. I've found the 1.3 beta version to be a bit flakey personally.

That question mark says that, in spite of your having installed the driver (with all the other BC drivers), it is not working. It's not that your computer can't find a driver for the specific device you plug in-that gives you a different set of indications-it's that the INTERFACE isn't working.

I'll have to dig into some stuff to help you locate the specific interface driver. Installing it is cake once you know where to find it among the drivers Boot Camp burns to disc for you.
