Z77X-UD3H Marvell Problem

[spluff]

Hi all,
 
I have just build a new system with a Z77x-UD3H motherboard and have a quick question:-
 
The marvell rear esata ports do not seem to work - I have installed Marvell eSATA Controller Driver (1.2.0.1010), enabled as AHCI mode - there is no device in device manager for this and my external icybox 1tb hd doesnt get detected (works via usb)

1. Should there be a marvell device in system properties?
 
2. What can I do to fix this problem?
 
Many thanks

Which BIOS you have installed?

its the original bios which came with the motherboard.....

I tried upgrading to the latest on the gigabyte webside F9 and now when I try and install windows again the usb devices dont work (kb and mouse) but they work if i boot into windows....

Help me
