    A7n8x mobo, chieftec dragon case, front usb problem

    I have an asus a7n8x deluxe rev. 2 mobo inside a chieftec dragon case. I know I have the front usb headers plugged in correctly because I can use my controller (usb gravis gamepad) fine and dandy. But if I plug in my 1.0gb cruzer mini thumbdrive in any of the front usb slots, I get an "USB Device Not Recognized" error. I have the latest nforce drivers 5.10. and the newest bios update 1008 for the motherboard. I am running WinXP with SP2 and all updates installed. The drive works fine in the rear USB ports. What could be the problem? Thanks for any help.
    Its all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then its just fun in the dark.

    I have seen this a number of times.
    Not too sure why it is but somehow the front USB ports seem to be different then the rear ones.
    Construction maybe
    Sorry I know this doesnt help much but i have yet to see a resolution othern then to use different cases

    yeah ever since I got this its been flaky. I wonder if they sell the front usb componant somewhere to change the ones in the front? IF so I would get it in a heartbeat.

    Maybe the front usb ports are not usb2 compliant?
