what is the make and model of your motherboard?

 

[Modzilla]

Most VIA cards are supported. So just make a bootable USB with xtreme bootmaker and select 'use custom mtkflash' and give it a go.

I have not heard about this particular flavour of VIA SATA, but I would bet better than even money that it will probably work....

Give it a go and let us know

I would only assume that it's an older motherboard as it only supports AGP but like vinomarky said you stand a good chance with the VIA
