I built a machine around an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard and have the Intel Sata Controller set to ACHI in bios with the correct driver in Windows Vista. When I want to rmove a drive from the front rack, I find no way in Vista to remove it. When I remove the physical drive, it remains in Vista until I reboot. Same if I add a drive.
I am using the red SATA connections and wonder if I should use the black ones or do I need to get an add-in card for true hot swapping of SATA drives?
The SATA rack uses a 4 pin molex, but the drive connects via the SATA power connection into the rack. Is this the problem and how do I get around it?
Thanks,
