too vague, but I'll try

I have an external ESata rail in my HP8100CTO.
It requires that I boot with the external Esata drive powered up and connected. If I wait until Windows has booted, it will not be detected.

Would like to find a reliable ESata hot swap program that works all the time.

Regardless of disconnecting the ESata cable, the external drive case supporting this 2.5" drive must have power from an adapter. The ESata cable supplies data, not power.
