O.K. Here's the deal; if you have Sp2 installed you have to block SP2 from re-loading it's drivers by renaming a folder called SP2.cab to SP2cab.old
Then do this;

Go to C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 & C:\dllcache in SP1 and copy out the
following files
SBP2port.sys is in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers & \system32\dllcache
1394bus.sys is in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
arp1394.sys is in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
nic1394.sys is in c:\Windows\System32\Drivers
ohci1394.sys is in C:\windows\System32\drivers
enum1394.sys is in C:\windows\system32\drivers

Copy out the following files to a new folder you can call "Firewirefix," (without quotes)

Stop XP Sp2 from re-installing it's drivers again by:
Renaming the XP2.cab file to (e.g. to XP2old.cab)

Replace the SP2 versions of these files with the SP1 versions in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers & C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache in safe mode.

Go to device manager for your ohci firewire card and update SP2 drivers to the SP1 drivers by pointing to Firewirefix.(warning message normal) Reboot.
