ECS 661FX-M Missing SATA entry in BIOS

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.elitegroup (More info?)

When I bought this board about six months ago there was an entry in the BIOS
under PCI devices to enable/disable the on-board SATA controller. as I had
no SATA drives I disabled it but now I want to install a SATA drive. I
can't because the entry has disappeared from the bios set-up menu. anyone
got any ideas as to why, it's got me baffled

TIA

already tried that *and* re-flashing the BIOS, no luck. Thanks for the
suggestion anyway
