Hi All,

I have come across this once or twice and its never really bothered
me, but I am curious as to why:

Occasionally I fond certain devices wont work on front panel usb
headers, yet when plugged into the rear USB connectors that are "hard
wired" to the motherboard, they are fine.

At the moment, I have two external HDDs (with there own power supply)
that wont work on the front but do work on the rear, however various
other devices such as mouse and USB thumb drives do work on the front.

Why????

Cheers

-Al
PS: seen it on both XP and Vista.
