Don't hot swap any components unless they are specifically designed to do so. And you can be sure that if a product has that feature it would be marketed as such.
i just unplugged the molex and plugged it in again... :blushing:Quote:

can always get an external harddrive/cdrom case, which allows you to connect them via firewire or usb (depends on make/model).
I dont wanna spend $30 for an external enclosure. My front USBs are messing up anyways (makes my pc turn off).Quote:
