I just built a new system based on Abit IP35 Pro and Q6600. With it I bought a SATA hot swapping rack that mounts in a 5.5" bay, which I was hoping would help with backups. I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 on this system
On my previous system, Asus A8N-E with X2 and Windows XP Pro x86, I could see my SATA drives in the "Safely eject hardware" dialog under Windows. I assumed this meant hot swapping capabilities, although I didn't actually test that. On my new system, however, my SATA drives do NOT show up in the eject dialog, and if I shove one in while the system is running, Windows does not detect it.
I believe I have all the relevant drivers etc installed... Are there any other software, hardware, or configuration requirements that I should look into?
Thanks!!
