I bought a AMS Venus SATA+USB2 enclosure to put a WD 2500KS in. I am hooking it up to a Rosewill SIl3114 SATA controller. Because the external ports don't align well with the PCI slot, I can't plug it into the external ports, but I have it plugged to one of the internal ones. When the enclosure is shut off but attached to the SATA card, the computer won't boot to my system drive or CD drive. When I turn it on before this, then it boots okay. Is there anyway to have it so I don't need to turn it on first? Isn't WinXP supposed to see these enclosures (even if they are SATA) as removable?
 
i have the exact same encolusure and mine works great. Make sure you dont have that sata drive set up as a boot device in BIOS as it may get hung up there.
