I cannot get my eSATA external drive detected with my GD80. It does not appear in POST or in Windows. It also doesn't show on the BIOS main screen, Standard CMOS Features. The eSATA drive, which is a SATA drive in a USB/eSATA enclosure, works perfectly with another computer connected via eSATA. The MSI GD80 has the latest BIOS, 1A.

Is there a setting in the BIOS that I missed? Possibly a bad eSATA port on the motherboard?
 
I figured it out. I had to enable the JMicron RAID controller in the BIOS. eSATA works perfectly now.
