That's because you cannot use a USB cable to transfer video from the camcorder to the laptop.
You already hit it on the head before with the fire wire. |

you can't connect to what doesn't exist.
Buy a PCMCIA Firewire card. |

^^^there's your answer.
You may want to invest in a firewire card if you are going to do a lot of video editing. You also need to increase your RAM to 2 gigs, minimum. A laptop is not conducive to video editing. |
