Is Xp Pnp?

Yes... WinXP is plug and play compliant.
When you say "can't see it at all" I am assuming that it doesn't even show up in the device manager?
I think that the difference between BIOS PnP is that with it off, the motherboard will attempt to assign resources as opposed to Windows assigning resources. This isn't always a good thing. If you turn it back on, theoretically, nothing much should change. Windows may reallocate some resources but it should be invisible to you.
If you are talking about the PnP service (in Windows; post didn't suggest it, but you never know), you need to have that on all the time.
