Is it dangerous to plug my 2nd HD into the secondary connector while computer is running? I cannot boot up (other thread) with XP. Freezes up)

It might be pointless anyway.....

Uhh... usually not recommended to hot plug a device unless it is specifically "hot-swappable".

Please don't even attempt this as it could very well burn up your motherboard and anything attached to it.
