    After my problems with a bios update, I just got a W860 barebones kit from rjtech which has the USB 3.0 port. I installed Win7 Pro and used the drivers from Sager's website for the NP8690.

    The USB 3.0 port is not working though. If I plug an external HDD in to it, the lights will come on but Windows wont recognize there is a HDD there. It also supplies power to a cooling fan.

    Is there a driver or something I need for the USB 3.0 port to work? I checked Clevo and Sager's websites and didnt see anything for it.
