Case USB drives aren't recognized

[Mikezip007]

I have a P5Q-E and a LIAN LI Lancool PC-K7B case. When I plug a flash drive into the in ports on the case, I get a pop up in Vista 64 that the USB drive is Unknown. If I plug the same drive into a USB Port in he back (on the mobo) it works fine. Do I have to enable something special in the BIOS for remote USB sockets to read flash drives correctly?

Nope, you just have to wire them up correctly.

Seconded. Is the front panel USB connector from your case a one-piece plug or is it a bunch of little tiny single connector pieces? It really sounds like you've got it/them connected incorrectly.

I did get this fixed. In BIOS i switched the USB mode from HiSpeed to Fullspeed. Now everything works great.

So your case USB wiring can't cope with USB 2.0.

You are aware that you have now limited your USB speed to 1 MByte per second (from 30)?
