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.
