The 'device busy/resourse in use' message indicates to me that you
probably have an IRQ or address conflict.
Seeing that you dual boot - you should be able to establish what Windows
uses and then see which linux device is using that gets you this
message.
I'm not familiar with the card you are trying to use, but it would be
well worth checking to see if you are able to either software or jumper
configure the hardware to a location which is not in conflict with other
devices in the machine.
Remember that windows often bodges things and frequently shares either
addresses or IRQ's (and sometimes BOTH!) - linux on the other hand
'prefers' to have each device separately addressed.
You can get the windows data by looking at the properties of the device
in Control Panel -> System. and comparing it with that which is recorded
in the text files in /proc
Pass those addresses etc - maybe one of use will see the conflict
straight
off.
Cheers
