Sorry i had to switch to dial-up According to you motherboard specs it supports the following
Up to 10 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (4 ports on the back panel, 6 ports available through the internal USB headers)
Up to 4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the internal USB headers)
If this is a new, pre-built computer that you just bought then bring it/send it back to the place you got it and either have them fix it (connect the front panel ports to the motherboard header with a cable), or exchange it for a unit that is completely assembled.
If you are worried about your Windows setup or personal files, just have them switch the hard drives.
Yeah thanks for your concern but i think i'll just stick to using the back ports for USB 3, if i want to fix up the front port, i'll get my techy friends to help me with it.
all as maxie and paul, thanks for your help (now marked as solved)
