IEEE 1394 code 10 problem

I use an Inspiron 8200 running a fully updated Windows XP. I used the firewire connection so far without any trouble with my digital camcorder. I recently bought an external firewire harddrive and can't get it to work. In the device manager it says: device cannot get started (code 10). I uninstalled the driver and restarted the notebook, but that didn't help. Did any of you solve such a problem? Appreciate your help a lot.

    I connected the drive finally to the computer of a friend and it was working there. So after changing the cable it was working as well on my notebook. It was a bad cable and I can't believe I spent so much time trying to figure out that problem. I trusted that cable to much. It was a brandnew retractable 4 to 6 IOGEAR cable. No good. But I'm relieved that my hadrdrive is working. Thanks again for your precious help. God bless!
