What you're thinking of is called the "hotswap" method. It's very possible, but can also be very temperamental because IDE was never designed to be hotswapped.

I recommend following this page on consolemods.org and just staying persistent. It could take as long as an hour to get a successful hotswap.

Honestly, the Rocky5 method is so cheap and easy these days.
USB Drive, adapter cable and a copy of Splinter cell shouldn't cost you more than $20-30.
