ESATA installation with Benicia-GL8E (HP built PC called HP Pavilion Elite m9361.ch)

[Salvi]

Hi

I've bought a PC from HP (m9361.ch); now running Win7. Recently, I
also installed a simple extension having two external ESATA
connectors. Simply used a cable to connect two SATA-ports from the
motherboard and put them on an external slot.

Problem now is, that the PC is not capable of hot-swap with the
Western Digital Studio hard-drive and also normally, the reboot is not
working. Whenever hard-disk is switched on, the PC just stays on the
first HP-picture (BIOS) and is freezed there. Nothing is working
anymore... I'm curious, how to solve this issue and especially, what
the color coding is on the 6 SATA-ports on the motherboard is used
for...

Thanks for any help!
