The MB is a Foxconn N570SM2AA using a nForce 570 chipset. It has 6 SATA headers and a E-SATA on board port and a additional E-SATA MB header;

I have a external HDD enclosure (Innovative ME-743J-SV) that has E-SATA and a USB connections;

The USB port works ok. I just bought a new Hitachi 500 GB Deskstar SATA HDD and formatted it via the USB port since the E-SATA port didn't work so I know the drive is ok. I am also assuming the internal interconnect in the enclosure is ok since the USB port worked.
I tried two different SATA cables, one E-SATA and a plain SATA. The HDD doesn't show in Device Manager or Computer Management. It only showed when it had a USB connection.
Question; Is a E-SATA drive suppose to show in the Bios? It doesn't here. There are entries for the six on board SATA channels, but nothing for E-SATA.
