Hot-plugging on IDE is only supported on RAID controllers that can do
hot-plugging. The IDE standard itself does not support it, and even if
it seems to work sometimes, there's a chance you can damage your IDE
controller.
To be safe, you should get an IDE-to-USB case. Then you can do
hot-plugging safely.
