hardware issues

hate9wicket	Date: November 6, 2008 @ 7:59 PM I accidently unplugged my computer, then turned it back on, but forgot to unplug my firewire 410. Now I have the fast blinking blue light, the computer does not recognize it. I tried updating the drivers, shutting down, re-plugging the device, etc. I think I need to put the install disk in and re-install, but.... I can't find the disk. I don't know what to do, I'm afraid I killed it. Help!

hate9wicket	Date: November 7, 2008 @ 7:02 PM yep, pretty sure I killed it. System profiler sez I have a working firewire port, so thankfully I didn't fry that. I thought a new cable might work, nope. Still can't find the disk, I've had this happen before, but the disk install worked..... oh no.
