  I can't tell you how to get your USB card reader to work, but I can
tell you what works for me. I have a usb adabter that I stick my SD card
into both Linux and Windows XP machines treat it as a flash drive. I got
it from cyberguys.com. We also recently got a Compact Flash/ IBM
Microdrive Reader/Writer that came with my daughters keyboard because it
uses compact flash for storage. It works the same way and I still have
the packaging. Their website is  www.desmaco.com  If no one can make the
card reader you have you could check them out.
