eSATA

Hey, is it possible to enable eSATA on an asus maximus formula Motherboard?
If so how??? it has normal SATAII ports on the board, is it possible to change this to eSATA????
I have an eSATA port on the front of my case BTW...

Are you saying that you want to turn one SATAII to eSATA?

I have one of them hooked up, the only problem is that it will only be found on boot, not as a removable disk.

EDIT:: I sorta got it working. every time i plug it in i have to go and tell it to check for new hardware. Does anyone have a better way of doing this? maybe a little more automated?
