Hello Outsider,

I will give you my advise, though I am not Toshiba or PC user and don't have the same gear. I have 7 years of techsupport in music industry experience, so you can take it for what it is :-)

If you have a few components in chain and one of them works fine by itself (your Toshiba with internal drive), while not using Firewire - it most likely is a Firewire card or interface that you use is causing trouble. The only other thing I would've check, considering you have glitches, it is buffer settings. If you can record on the same drive using anybody else's interface try it!
I don't think it is your external drive, at least I would not blame it first.
Thats's all I can give :-)

I don't know if you know that Alesis uses their own proprietery OS. It's not wav, aiif, etc. It's their own. You have to use their FW converter to convert to a standard wav
