I installed a simple USB 1 Card Reader on my girlfriends computer (I tried 2 different brands so I know it's not the reader). On boot the system "hangs" for about 1 minute as though it's trying to probe the drive. This is before windows begins booting. All other USB devices have no problem, just card readers. There is no apparent "USB Legacy" option in the bios and I've tried changing other settings with no luck. Is anyone familiar with these bios and know how to fix it???? I updated the bios to the latest version 1.2e I believe, so the information below is old but the bios update didn't help. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
