We purchased an LG WH10LS30 SATA Blu-Ray DVD CD Burner. When we plug this
SATA drive into the motherboard port on a Dell Precision 390 workstation, it
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?

It wont normally be seen until the bios can see it. Ask Dell.
