Someone else had a similar problem - I think it is just a naming issue with some Gigabyte motherboards, so nothing to worry about.

You might want to check through your BIOS though and see if there is a section about running SATA ports in IDE mode, or something like that. I don't have that motherboard myself, but my Gigabyte board does mention running SATA ports in IDE mode, so it might be something similar.
