You sure? Im not swapping the power... just the IDE cable. Ive done it quit a few times over the 7 or 8 months.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
I dont feel like trying to use Linux any more. Maybe ill just connect as many as I can (my 160 and 2 of the others i think) and use one of the small ones for my main drive.... no on second though... these drives are slow.
I dont know what to do
Maybe ill just use them for fixing broke xboxs.

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.

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).
