FWIW, I have an el cheapo USB card reader that won't work on WinXP (2
computers) but works fine on Linux including the same computer via
dual-boot.
I also had problems with a USB hard disk drive on one computer until I
updated the BIOS. Always make sure that computers that exhibit these
problems, you would want to update BIOS on them.
Basically, USB sucks as a technology and it can be entirely
inconsistent.
