Any option in the sense any option about PATA / SATA in the BIOS
Update BIOS is critical process, do only really needed. The link below is how-to:

You should read thru that instruction before doing so. Back up system and back up the current bios first.

The link I provided is for you Desktop model, by default, in bios, section Advance, you should PATA/SATA there. If you did not find any of that, you should open the case and ID sata ports onboard, if there are, then you should update bios in order to detect that sata ports.
What SATA drives are you trying to connect? Manufacturer and model.
Check to see if southbridge chip has VIA labeled on it.

VIA 8237 SATA controllers do not play nice with all SATA II drives, WD in particular.
For a WD SATA drive, jumper pins 5 and 6. If you don't, drive will not be recognized. Seagate drives are OK (at least ones I've used). Others may or may not require speed limiting jumper.

Storage
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
