I installed a Belkin USB 2 card in my Gateway 400 pc. The pc has 2 hard drives (9gb)with W2K and (40gb)with XP. Both recently crashed a month after I installed the card. I have not been able to recover the PC, every now and then the computer willstart up but it waits for long periods of time. Only under the W2K will boot. I have contacted Microsoft and they say that this card is not compatible, and Belkin said it is compatible.

If you uninstall the Belkin card is the pc back to operational? If so, try reinstalling the drivers and then reinstall the card and see if that helps. I know it works for modems to install the software first otherwise the install process has problems. Next what kind of a duel boot setup are you using?? Do you have a drive controller which turns on either the xp drive or the 2000 or are you using a boot manager? Could that be the problem and have you looked for patches for it yet?
