Some internal SATA ports apparently don't support hotplugging. I don't know if perhaps your chipset is one of them, if you Google your motherboard's SATA chipset maybe you can find out. If it has always worked before and now suddenly throws errors, that seems unlikely to be the cause... > FWIW, after reseating the cable, I powered the external disk on, run a > forced fsck on it, and no errors where reported. Or maybe that's all it was. :)
