Card reader problem

[Zonie]

Strangest problem ever seen. Have 14 new PC's with 7 of them using new Transcend 6 in 1 external card readers, USB connection. The problem arises when you first boot the PC's with the card readers attached, it boots fine, no errors, but when you try to access a mapped drive on the network, error states it cannot be accessed, no connection available. If you ping the network, all is fine. Reply from the mapped drive. If you disconnect the card reader, boot the system, mapped drive connects, plug the card reader in, card reader is seen and mapped drive stays connected. Has anyone else had this problem or might know what might cause this? Have done a partial google search but nothing yet. Any help appreciated.

System Specs:

OS XP Home
MSI Motherboard
AMD Duron 1.6 Ghz
128MB Ram
WD 40GB HD

Mapped drive letter would be F: and this is the only mapped drive NooNoo.

Then you need to move the mapped drive to a later later such as M
