I'm guessing you need to go into your bios and change the hdd to run in achi mode.

Weird I just installed Windows7 Ultimate X86 on my EX300
BIOS version (1.05), I upgraded now to the newest 1.0B but I not noticed anything different.
Only had to install the Intel Storage Manager to get the eSata working.
