How I can connect SATA to PC and turn it ONLine and OFFLine by XP
Manangement, in order to replace it like USB bridge?
 
A sata drive is only seen as removable, if thats what you mean, if your
motherboard chipset drivers support that.
But then you might mean something else?
 
Once xp recognizes the hd,you can open device mgr,expand the hd tree,
R.click on the hd,select:disable Enable do the reverse....

Click to expand...

According my check, disable drive not turn off the HD motor! do you
think that if I pull out the power connection I not lost data?

(Another Q, I see that before I make partition for HD, there have
offline option on Disk Management? for what? in my opinion this option
should exists after partitioning, and that we will happy...)
 
Why would you want to pull the plug on an inside the case hard drive???
If you are aiming to change SATA drives on the fly(while system is powered
up) get a drive cage...
In theory SATA drives are hot swappable ...but for all practicle purposes
not the way you intent on doing.
