Secondary Hard drive can be hot swapped in XP Pro?
« on: June 04, 2007, 03:47:05 pm »

Who tried to do hot swapping of secondary hard drive (IDE) in a Windows XP Pro environment? Is this possible?

For my experience: Yes it is possible and do-able. WARNING: I am not recommending this, but if you want to try here's the procedure:

*Note: Make sure no application is/are running from the secondary hard drive.

To install:
 1. Set the PIN to Cable Select or Slave Mode
 2. Plug the IDE cable.
 3. Lastly, plug the power cable.
 *same procedure for SATA interfaces.

To uninstall:
 1. First, unplug the power cable.
 2. Unplug the IDE/SATA cable.

Hot swapping is similar to uplugging without shutting down your computer. Pro d naman tlga sa computer mo lng ma apply un na term. Example. Kng tinaggal mo ang Memory card (MMC) ng cellphone mo, e.g Nokia 6680, dmo na kelangan e off pa ang phone para mataggal lang, compared sa mga lumang unit ng Nokia na gaya ng 6600 na klangan e off mo tlga.


Sa case na ito ang gna mean nya. Bale dalawa ang hard disk mo, tpos nka slave ung isa. Pwd mo itanggal ang Hard Disk mo na dmo na e off ang PC mo. Bale deretso na. Kaso khit ako, dko to ma suggest tlga. Delikado kc. Bka magkaroon ng loss of Data. Kng gsto mo lng ng hotswap ng secondary drive. E mag enclosure ka nlang. D kapa mahirapan.

Mukhang kakatakot.  I won't try this. Mahirap na.  :D
Saka pano pag di pa na-commit to disk yung data? Goodbye data!  evil::
Sa SATA mukhang mas safe kasi pwede mong "Safely Remove Hardware" form systray. Sa Asus P5VDC-MX running Windows 2000 server na try ko.  Pero weird dito sa isang desktop namin na naka XP Pro and Asus P5LD2 with SATA, walang option to "Safely Remove Hardware".
Baka mobo-specific...
