When you connect the cam using the firewire cable do you get the ping and
found new hardware balloon?
If not I suspect a poor or faulty connection, check this page out and
beg/steal/borrow three working items - that you've seen working and test
your components

Thanks for the help and the article is wonderful. I tried all the
options discussed in the article. The device manager is not showing any
problems and the driver is updated. But still the camcorder is not
recognized. I am not getting the ping when I connect the device through
firewire. Is there any special thing for vista to be looked into as the
article deals with XP.

I baught Sony Vaio only for the reason of easily connecting to sony
products. Anyway, please help me to solve the issue once again

Regards,
Jawa

Perhaps you need an iLink cable? I just purchased a 4 to 6 pin (and 4
to 4 pin for my laptop) on ebay for about $3 each from China (includes
shipping).

(Even from Sony... Importing/Exporting movies from/to a tape by
connecting the camcorder to the computer via i.LINK® cable.)

Also, here are Sony's drivers for the camera

maybe this usb driver works, or just for memory card downloads
