I have spent many unhappy hours trying to do the same thing in the past and I would advise one of the following:</P><P></P><P>1) Install an old copy of Windows XP on the netbook as an alternative system (not guaranteed to work)</P><P>2) If you have a desktop PC available, PCI firewire/iLink cards are relatively inexpensive and after that you can transfer captured video using a portable hard drive to your netbook.</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P></P><P>Simon</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 18 May 2012 21:25:34 GMT https://community.sony.at/t5/camcorders/handycam-dcr-hc27e-won-t-connect-to-windows-7/m-p/325728#M2064 blaireau_photo 2012-05-18T21:25:34Z
