    Tech Problems with 6421 not being recognized by PC?

    Ive installed the card today to flash my son's 360 sami drive but my pc won’t recognize the card?

    I’ve tried to install the drivers on the disk that that came with it but get this message: “Sorry, the install wizard can’t find the supported hardware in your system. You should check your hardware and try again. Please press ok to terminate the install wizard”.

    I have gone into devise manager and that doesn’t pick it up either.

    I have tried everything I can think of. I’ve swapped the card to another port and tried that with no success at all.

    Any ideas at all guys?

    Thanks all

    could the card be faulty?

    any chance you can try in another pc. that would pretty much solve it.

    when you boot up with the card in it should say new device found and show up in device manager.

    I`vew had a few machines like this at work - not picking up cards that I know work in other machines.
    I think it`s down it IRQs or something as a shufty around of the cards in what slots makes them work. I had a PCI card today that when I plugged it into one particular slot, make the on-board lan not appear (even in device manager) and also didn`t recognise the card itself.
    I did a bit of "PCI Sudoku" and got them all happy to work with each other after about 30 mins of restarting, moving, testing etc.

    Try taking out a card you know works (soundcard or something non-critical) and try it in that slot - if that doesn`t work I`d say it`s a faulty card - but deffo whack in another PC to test if you can.
