I have a Dell Dimension 8300 running XP pro.

When I try to plug in a Dell flash stick that came with the computer,
the front USB ports do not recognise the stick but the back USB ports do.

It is kind of a pain to have to reach around to the back of the computer
to use the flash stick. The stick works on other computers but not mine.

I also tried using a USB hub in order to bring a port to the front of
the computer but that does not work either.

Any suggestions?

it seems kind of dumb to have the usb 2.0 ports on the back and not on
the front where they may be needed for a flash stick
 
figured it out

needed to map another drive

the usb was taking over the maping or trying to use a network drive letter
