SATA Drives Not Detected

[Justin579]

I have a Asus x99a motherboard and I cannot get the sata to work. It had detected my drives only twice and I have no idea why. It detects my usb stuff but not sata. I don't have a DVD sata to use since mine is broke so I use a usb DVD. I updated the bios to the newest and still nothing. I have 3 drives it detected 2 of them. Yes I tried using different cables and ports.

Doesn't detect it when trying to install Windows or in bios.

So there's no options for SATA ports in your bios?

First off, i recommend contacting Asus and seeing what they have to say. If they can't give you any instructions, you may have to RMA the board.

my 2¢

You say it detects 2 of your 3 drives. Sure the third drive is not bad. Have you hooked it up to another computer to see if it shows up?
