Tried that and no device drivers are listed on site for the card reader. It was automatically recognized by Vista when I first installed it. Just recently started get the message that a USB device is not recognized. Maybe a Windows update messed something up...
Guess thats what I get for buying Best Buy branded junk.

If this really is an internal card reader, it has nothing to do with usb. It must be another device such as a usb flash drive/ready boost, blackberry, Ipod, camera etc. Go to Device Manager and see exactly what is causing this. Disconnect all usb devices except the mouse and keyboard to check.

I know the card reader is a USB device because I installed it. It connects to the USB port on the motherboard. I have plenty of knowledge of PC's and I don't know what you think the connection may be. I am pretty sure most card readers are USB and I am also pretty confident that they don't connect to an IDE or Serial ATA port. I know all the USB devices attached to my computer and they are all accounted for except the card reader.
You should be careful giving advice if you are not knowledgeable about the hardware you are giving advice about. It could cost someone a lot of money or problems that could be avoided.
I mainly was hoping that someone had this issue and could tell me if it was a problem with the E521 BIOS (Since there have been numerous BIOS updates for the E521 to fix USB issues), if its possible that the card reader is bad, or if there is an issue with Windows that is causing it.
