oh. You may be onto something. I am pretty sure USB is boot option 2, but if not it would be my disc drive- but I can make that work too. It's a Lenova (maybe acer) laptop with some wierd tool it seems to open it up. I can try to figure it out though. I just want to use it as an inhome server so it dont need to look pretty.

Keep in mind, you might get a kernel panic when you try to hot-plug the drive back in. It's not guaranteed to work, but it's worth a try.

If that doesn't work (kernel panic or whatever) you can disconnect the drive and connect it via a SATA-to-USB adapter in which case hot plugging should definitely work.
