Did you install the motherboard chipset drivers after installing Windows? Do any USB ports work? Are the ports in question the ones directly on the motherboard or on a bracket that connects to a header?

To add to previous post, if that has been done, you may have to buy a pci usb card.

Have you looked in Device Manager to see what Windows has to say about the USB controllers?
