Sorry I didn't "report" back on this subject sooner.....been VERY busy! Someone else here said that Linux doesn't handle plug and play ESATA nor SATA yet, and that is quite right. It's obviously an area that needs to be addressed SOON as more and more new boxen are being produced with ESATA connections.
You have to restart the system with power to the external hard drive and the ESATA port connected for it to work. Once you disconnect the drive, you'll get a "smart" error telling you that the drive is about to fail......annoying but that's about it.
