Really not happy!

was having a go at clocking my cpu abit more and got to the point where it wouldnt boot or do anything so i had to clear the CMOS, like i have done many times befor and not had any problems. But after doing it this time BIOS wont pick up my SATA HD!! I have loaded all safe settings, tryed turning the pc on with no HD,then turning back on with it in and tryed different SATA connectors!

Really dont know what to do!

any ideas?

ps i dont have any other drives i can try!

Somehere in your bios there will be settings for changing IDE modes between S-ATA, P-ATA and both in the same time in either compatibility or normal mode. Play around with those.

[edit] - missed the fact you can't pick the drive up in BIOS!

Your BIOS was probably in the shower or something
