I have a A7n8x Deluxe 2.0 with a retail 2500+ CPU. I loaded Win XP Pro on
it. Everything seems fine.

BUT....

I have a USB Sandisk reader, that I initially plugged in and works fine.
However if I power down the system, and power it back up, the sandisk is
gone. If I remove the plug and re-insert it in a USB slot it finds it again
and works until the next time.

I did not see an updated USB driver on asus's site.

Anyone got any ideas?

My Rig:
Asus a7n8x deluxe 2.0 1005 bios
AMD 2500+ Retail (non overclocked)
256 DDR Ram (using SPD in bios for ram settings)
27 GB IDE maxtor
Win XP Pro SP1 and all latest updates installed.
Fresh load of XP as of 1 week ago BTW.
Interage FX 5200 8x AGP Video 128MB RAM
onboard nic's and sound utilized.

had the same with an usb2 hard disk and was unable to find the reason why it
didn't work.
