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

Mick

Try resetting the BIOS to Defaults and see if that brings it back.

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

The SATA Controller option is found in the BIOS under Integrated
Peripherals > SIS On-Chip PCI Device. You may have looked under
PNP/PCI Configuration instead by mistake.
