Otherwise, you will need a FireWire add-on PCI Express card. Ditto if this is a front port and actually connected to a proper i1394 header. In any case, if this is a desktop PC, and the port is on its back, you need to make sure in the device manager that the port is active. What USB-FireWire adapter did you get? Just a pin-adapter you can get for about $5 or an actual conversion box? Proper FireWire operates at a much higher voltage, and those pin-adapters are strictly special-application stuff.
If it's a laptop and only has a 4-pin port, I found that those 4-pin ports on PCs never worked right. What kind of PC is it? What kind of FireWire port? 6-pin or 4-pin? If you go into Device Manager, can you see your FireWire (IEEE 1394) port device? If this is a desktop PC, is it an OEM (Dell, HP) or a home-built? Is this a front-panel FireWire, or it is on the back of the PC? If it's a front-port, but motherboard does not have a header for it, it could simply be not connected.
