Reality of SATA hotplug?

[Ron Johnson <ron.l.johnson@cox.net>]

Hi,

If a loose SATA cable falls off of my DVD drive while the power is 
on, is it ok for me to just slide it back in?  Or should I power the 
machine down?

If SATA hotplug *does* work "on the desktop", does that also mean 
that I could plug a new hard drive in while the system is running?
