With my previous (B2) board, I was able to install the drivers and use the eSata ports. With my current B3 board, the JMicron controller is not visible to Windows. It is visible in the BIOS and I can see drives that are attached. Anyone else have the same problem?

I did a completely new install when I got my B3 board.
 
I figured out the problem.

For some strange reason, Windows installed a driver (Accusys 6xxx) for the PCI-PCI bridge! Once I uninstalled and deleted the driver from Driver Manager and rescanned devices, the JMicron SATA controller appeared (unknown). Then I was able to install the JMicron drivers and now it appears in the list of devices. Sure enough, eSata now works.

There must be some reuse of PCI device IDs between the Accusys 6xxx controller and bridge or some device that would block the PCI scan beyond the bridge. A quick search on the web shows this problem has occurred in the past for other boards.
 
its a known windows update error...the vendor id is messed up on the accusys driver..

its been around for months, i dont know hwy MS hasnt fixed it yet...
