Default USB flash disk and USB WiFi weird issue


Hi All,
I recently noticed a strange problem on my new PC (i7-4GB
DDR3-DX58SO-Vista 32 Ultimate):
I have a USB Wifi dongle attached to the USB on the back of the PC.
It's A D-Link DWA-120 and it's connected to Wifi connection.
The weird thing is that I connect a USB 2.5" HD or any USB flash disk
on the USB port on the front of the case, so far so good, but when I
select it and click safely remove and disconnect it, the Wifi dongle
loses connection and seems not to respond so I have to unplug it and
re-plug it so it starts functioning again.
Is it possible to know what's causing this?
Thankyou.

Just an assumption. Since the software does not know which USB port you're
using for what, it stops both. If I'm wrong, try switching ports and see if
that might help. Lastly, contact the motherboard manufacturer and see how
they have wired those ports so you'll know for sure that it either is, or is
not, hardware related.
