From: W on 18 May 2010 04:37 We purchased an LG WH10LS30 SATA Blu-Ray DVD CD Burner. When we plug this SATA drive into the SATA motherboard port on a Dell Precision 390 workstation, the drive is not seen by BIOS, or by OS. Is this because motherboard SATA is tuned to hard drive use only? If yes, what would be the best way to get this drive seen by Windows XP? -- W

Of course yes we turned the port on in BIOS. :) To be sure of it we turned on all four SATA motherboard ports, so there was also no confusion about did we turn on the correct port. At boot time, the BIOS reports no device on that port. It may have something to do with going into RAID mode (AHCI / Autodetect RAID) when it encounters the two RAID 1 devices on SATA ports 0 and 1? -- W > W wrote: >> We purchased an LG WH10LS30 SATA Blu-Ray DVD CD Burner.

never seen a "hard drive only" mode. i use ahci/raid mode all the time for my non-raid systems. could it be your new drive is dead on arrival? try it in a different system.
