I want to transfer files from a PC running on XP to a laptop running on Vista through a FireWire cable. Unfortunately it seems having the accessories is not enough to do so. What do I need?
Werg22 said:I do have SP2 on my PC. So you're saying I need the IEEE 1394 drivers on my laptop? I'll look into that, thank you.
FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed data transfer technology commonly used to connect devices such as cameras, external hard drives, and computers. It allows for fast and efficient transfer of large files.
To transfer files over FireWire, you will need a FireWire cable that is compatible with both the sending and receiving devices. Connect one end of the cable to the FireWire port on the sending device and the other end to the receiving device. Once connected, you can use the appropriate software or operating system to transfer the files.
One of the main advantages of FireWire is its high transfer speed. It is capable of transferring data at speeds of up to 800 Mbps, making it much faster than other transfer methods such as USB. FireWire also allows for simultaneous data transfer, meaning multiple files can be transferred at the same time.
Yes, FireWire can transfer any type of file, including photos, videos, music, documents, and more. As long as the sending and receiving devices are compatible and have the necessary software, you can transfer any type of file over FireWire.
Yes, FireWire is a universal technology that is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems. This means you can transfer files between different operating systems using FireWire without any issues.
