Hi,
We are almost there.

The 1394 Controller is your FireWire. If you will be using this, then I would downgrade your BIOS to F.28. I must warn you that if the install of the new BIOS corrupts for what ever reason you will end up with a useless PC. I have yet to have this happen to me, but the risk is still there.

The 1394 Controller: This is Only if you have an error in the Device Manager that shows
OHCI COMPLIANT IEEE 1394 HOST CONTROLLER
This is not a driver issue it is a XP/BIOS incompatibility issue.
Most people have resolved this issue by DOWNGRADING the Bios to F.28:

If you choose this option you do at your own RISK

Thanks,
Bill
