I've never had to install any drivers for the front USB to work, they should either all work or none of them.

When you said that you checked them, did you check to make sure they were in the right order? In some BIOS's, you can disable certain USB ports, so check there and see if its disabled.

Go into the BIOS and make sure all onboard USB ports are enabled.
