   I have the Asrock Z97 Killer motherboard, with an I5-4460 processor, GForce 750 TI video card and Intel M2 NVME 670p hdd.
In the manual of the motherboard it is written that when installing a hdd in the M2 slot, two sata3 ports (port 4 and 5) will be disabled (shared ports).
   My problem is that in addition to the 2 ports (4 and 5), ports 1 and 2 are also disconnected. The only functional ports are sata 0 and sata 3.

   Please, does anyone have an idea on how I could activate sata 1 and sata 2 ports?

Thank you in advance,
With respect Drago.

Solution:
In Uefi Bios, in the "Boot" section, enable "CSM" (Compatibility Support Module) and in the list you should have "Storage..." with Legacy Mode activated.
