Studio XPS 16 boot from eSATA

Have any of you had success booting from eSATA? The reason I ask is that I recently replaced my 500GB 7200rpm HDD with a 120GB Sandforce SSD (very fast BTW). I put my old 500GB in a power-over-eSATA enclosure for extra storage. The drive works great for Windows storage, and is recognized just the same as an internal HDD.

However, I have an installation of Linux on my (now) external. The BIOS gives no option to boot from eSATA, and selecting 'external device' doesn't work either (I think that's only for USB). I do not believe there is any technical reason why I'd be unable to boot from an eSATA drive, but I just can't get it to work.

Is there perhaps a 3rd party boot manager I could put on my SSD that would allow me to select the external before Windows takes over and boots automatically? It's not that big a deal, I just use the Linux install to mess around with and try to learn more about it, but I don't need it for any serious work or anything. Still, I'd like to be able to get it to work like I want it to.

 

NVM, I was able to get it to work with EasyBCD. Thanks anyways.
