Dimension 8400: Hot Swap problems

Hi!
I have a Dimension 8400 with two internal SATA hard drives (3,5), a DVD-R/RW in one bay (5,25) and a 'data castle'/hard drive rack in the second bay for the ability to use with (and swap) my old IDE-drives (6 of them).
The hard drive rack is connected to a SATA-port using a SATA to IDE adapter/converter - and it finally works OK after trying out different converters.
I can now use the drives as before when they used the PATA connection.
But I can't get the 'hot swap' ability to work, wich would be nice, instead of having to reboot alla the time after changing drives.
I can't find anything about 'hot swap' inte the BIOS/Setup menu !?!?
Does Dimension 8400 not support 'hot swap'??
What else can be the problem ??
Anyone else with similar problems ??

Most current SATA drives do not support (yet) hotswap.

Hi!
Thanks!
I guess I'll have to wait and see if there will be any support developed in the future then...
