The first time I overclocked, I used the AI booster that came with my MoBo, it was running at 3210Mhz or so. Then my computer wouldn't start the next day, but was stable the when i OC'ed. I recieved an error NTLDR is missing or something like that. My first hard drive would not work at all. The thing is that, that hard drive was about 5 years old I figured maybe it was its time. later that week I tryed OC'ing again (using a different hard drive) but used the BIOS, I think the the front bus was at 214mhz and had a mutiplyer of 15 with the same total of 3210Mhz. after shutting down and restarting it gave me error saying there was no boot media. My MoBo wouldn't see any IDEs hooked up (I used a couple of different hard drives, only SATA would work). So I went and bought a 250GB SATA and runs normal. does anyone know what went wrong or how to fix it so i can use IDEs?
 
sounds like you didn't have any pci locks enabled on your system; this is causing the sata controller on your mainboard to produce errors which is whats causing your issues with your hard drives. I'm sure that you'll find that your old hard drive works fine.
 
how would i go about enabling it? I was looking in the BIOS didn't see anything like that, is it called something else in the BIOS?
