This is very likely a bios setting.
First I would suggest going into bios and changing the pnp operating 
system choice.
There are two choices, pnp aware os or not pnp aware os. What ever is 
selected choose the other and see what happens.
If it works... joy :-)
If not change it back to the original setting.
Then go to the section in the bios for on board devices

OH hold on a minute... Google on

Adaptec AIC 7899

I'll bet my bottom dollar thats where your problem lies.
