GA-EX58-UD5 SATA Hot plug issue

[heliosys]

My system config are as follow
CPU: 920
RAM: Cosair TR3X6G1333C9
PSU: Enermax 82+ 625
GFX: HIS HD4850
OS: Vista 64

When ever i tried to how plug any sata harddisk, i would get a blue screen with error code F4. If only the OS was change to linux, how plug work without any error. In windows if i were to plug in only sata power cable to harddisk it would cause a blue screen with error code f4 too.

The issue don't seems to be hardware as it work in linux. It shouldn't be software, because power cable trigger the bosd and not the hot plug itself.

I'm loss hope any kind soul could help me figure out what's wrong.

You are using AHCI in windows correct? Have you tried older Intel drivers, or the latest?

Thanks for the reply.

Sata controller is running at AHCI mode.

I have tried default drivers, current intel stable drivers (8.8) and beta (8.9), all resulted in bosd F4.

Don't think it's only a intel matrix storage manager issue, when i plug in only power cable to the harddisk without data cable bosd F4 appear too.

Hmm, this a eSATA Cable? Just wondering, I have done it with both, but unplugging power cables is not suggested anyway when the system is running.

I know that is part of the hot swap Idea, just saying I do not like it from an electrical standpoint.

Have you tried another Power cable?

I'm using a hot swap rack, powered direct by psu. There was once after some hardware changes and i have forget to plug back sata cable. when harddisk was plug in, result in bosd.

btw I have tried using the same computer but running linux and hot swap is working without any error.
