Booting from eSATA

I took the harddrive out of my old gaming rig and put it into an external enclosure (the Antec MX-1) to maintain access to all of my files. I tried last night to boot my gaming desktop off of this hdd using eSATA but I while using it and updating all the software (desktop has not been used for several months) I noticed that it was hanging up for 10-20 seconds rather frequently and at times it would completely stop and I would get a BSOD and have to reboot. I yanked the drive out of the enclosure this morning and installed it back into the inside of the machine and it works fine.

So my question is: do I need to do anything special to boot and run Windows off of the eSATA enclosure?
