Need some help using my Card reader please

I'm sorry, I should of spelled it out better. Since you have 8 USB ports, double clicking on the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" you should see several lines, one should say something like "USB2 Enhanced Host controller." Also there should be 8 separate USB Root Hubs or USB???

 

ddb it didnt work and scubabud u r correct so what do i have to do

 

I am asking if they are all there, but the most important one is the USB2 Enhanced Host controller. I just wanted to make sure your board was configured properly, and if it is, you should see "8" of (USB Root Hub) if nothing is plugging into your USB's or the balance of the 8 if something is. Does it show the USB2 Enhanced? If it does then your board "IS" configured properly and it is not the problem.

 

ya its all there

 

Make it easy on yourself now. Have/get another known working "USB 2.0 device" and plug into your Desktop to see if it is recognized. We know that the card reader is seen by the Laptop and not the Desktop. How about another device? See where I'm going. It has to be a USB 2.0 device, not a USB 1.1. If that device works, "USB2 in your Desktop", then you know what the verdict is with the card reader. If it doesn't, then a MB driver might of been left out during your build or just a bad board. I'm sure you also tried the card reader by itself without any other devices plugged into your USB ports, like an extra hub or printer that might by some strange reason cause a conflict.

Your Device Manager shows this as done but...

I found this on the sandisk Q&A page for people having trouble with USB2.0. Hope this helps.

Answer
Cause:

SP1 for XP makes changes to the way your PC sees USB devices on boot.

Solution:

Boot into the Bios. If you do not know how to do this please contact your PC manufacturer for assistance.
In the Bios, disable "legacy USB support"
Save
Reboot your PC
You will now be able to boot with the reader connected
