I still don't get it. What has the initial problem ("I can't get the BIOS to recognize an IDE harddrive") to do with CPU overclocking? I doubt that by overclocking the CPU the BIOS will recognize that HDD...

Well, I've used that same HDD on newer boards with newer BIOS versions than that one with no problems. I know it's a little small, but I keep it around for testing purposes. Plus, believe it or not, I still use DOS from time to time. That's a very large drive to DOS

. Anyway, it did finally recognize it, although I have no idea if it was because of anything I did or not. It's a moot point now because, as I said, I set it up as a SCSI system. The IDE controllers are disabled in the BIOS now as a matter of fact. Thanks for all the suggestions!
