K7S5A Pro won't recognize Compact Flash cards

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.elitegroup (More info?)

i have that board with w2k pro sp4 and a lexar 2.0 card reader and it
reads {SD,CF,memory stick} formated {cheapo aiptek camera, cannon elph,
Pocket PC} with no problems also no problems with direct connect to cannon
elph 400 or cheapo camera

given that i would
1) suspect xp device drivers
2) check cmos usb settings (dos mode disable etc)
3) try using on-board USB ports (not mobo expansion ports) if you have not
done so.

*BUT* i have had USB problems with that board, mainly with mobo USB
expansion ports, such as lock up and BSOD problems with a USB zoom modem
where 1in 3 dialouts would cause crash. a powered hub helped *some* and
the on board built in ports seemed to function more reliably

hope this will give you some ideas
