Have tried all that, a friend of mine said I may need a driver to enable the port for sata 3? Problem is I have no idea what that means or where to obtain such a thing.. any ideas?

Pre OS drivers are generally found from the motherboard manufacturer, but I have not seen a "hardware driver" besides a BIOS flash.

Can you test it on another machine just to see if it's even recognized?
