I had exactly the same issue with USBs.
Finally solved by un-installing a virus/spyware package called Aluria
SpyElliminator.
It has always caused some sort of problem from the day I installed it -
even in a previous PC system.
What software do you have installed? - any unusual virus/spyware
software?
If not, do you have Norton's Ghost installed? This would have been my
next un-install.
I also had IRQ conflicts etc but that is not the problem. I thought for
a while that XP Pro SP2 may have beene the issue but that has now been
dispelled. Fingers crossed that I have solved the problem for good.
I have tested numerous times with both USB memory sticks and card
readers and all looks good.
