I have a sandisk 256MB storage card that I'm trying to
use with two laptops that I own. It works with the new
one (both run XP Home), but not with the one that is
about 1 1/2 yrs old. I think it may be a driver issue in
the old one. Both laptops have USB 1.1 and both alert me
that I am connecting a high speed USB device to a non-
high speed USB hub. However, only the new one lets me
access the USB drive. When I go to "my computer" to
access the drive on my old laptop, it shows the drive but
tells me when I double-click that the drive is "not
ready: incorrect function." Any help or direction would
be greatly appreciated.

On the one that isn't working, you might want to see if there are bios
updates for the laptop as USB fixes can be provided within those updates.
 
I had to replace my SCAMDisk reader when I upgraded to
XP. They did not write the code in the reader for XP and
their website said it was not upgradable.
