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.
