Only two SATA 5 and 6 connections working and other ports not detecting drivers on ACER ASPIRE M3203

I am working on a M3203 with SSD op SATA 5 and HD on SATA 6. That works fine. When i connect the SSD to one of the other SATA-connectors on the motherboard it does not work. Also when i connect a CDROM to one of the other SATA-connectors on the mainboard the CDROM does not work. The CDROM is recocnised in the BIOS (version B0.B2 set to AHCI) but does show up in windows explorer

Bios when no CDROM connected.jpg

. I cheched the CDROM and SATA-cables on another computer and that works without problems. Also strange is that in the BIOS i see only two SATA-ports (5 and 6).

I ad three pictures: 1)Bios showing only SATA 5 and 6. 2)Bios with CDROM connected to SATA3. 3)BIOS with no CDROM connected to the pc.

Help apreciated.

Hi, this 2009 Windows7 desktop is no longer supported by Acer or Microsoft. There is no information available on the storage interfaces.

Sata 1-4 are used with integrated Raid.

Choose Raid as first boot option and it works.

I use an Aspire M3203 with Athlon X4 3 ghz 6Gb of Ram and small SSD 120Gb and it work fine on Windows 10 Pro.
