P5B-Deluxe and USB Hubs

Anyone have any trouble using a USB hub on a P5B-Deluxe?

I have tried a few USB hubs and can not get any of my USB Devices to
work unless I plug them directly onto the the mobo. The usb hubs I
have tried have been both powered or un-powered.

Usb Devices I have:

iPod
Hp Printer
Epson Scanner
WD My Book external Hard Drive
Sandisk Card Reader (currently not plugged in)
Sony cybersation (digital camera)
Logitech G15 keyboard
Garmin GPS (Currently not plugged in)
Wacom Pen tablet (Currently not plugged in)
Palm T|X (currently not plugged in)

With my current setup it is very difficult to un-plug and then plug in
the device I need. So I was looking for a hub to make it more easy.
When I plug in a device it does nothing. Kindof like it is just
hanging. If I plug directly into the P5B it works perfectly.

Running:

Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates
P5B-Deluxe with latest Bios
Intel E6600

I was having what sounds like an identical problem with my new P5K
Deluxe. I contacted Asus support, and here's what they said:

There is a fix for this. It will disable all USB's until you boot into
Windows but it will allow you to keep your devices connected. Go into
your bios and go over to Advanced. From there go down to USB
Configuration. The option is Legacy USB Support, set that to Disabled
then press F10 to save and exit.

So I tried it and it worked.

A question.

If you then boot from a memory card or a diskette, will
USB be available for utilities such as Partition Magic bootable
diskette ? My guess is yes, but I wonder if you know the
answer.

TIA

My guess is no. With my BIOS set as they are, USB isn't activated until
WinXP is activated. I think.
