Some HDs will not work after OC'ing.  undo the OC and it will work again.

[LIB] HELP!!!! My 50ct can't boot up suddenly after overclock!!!!!

Subject: HELP My 50ct can't boot up suddenly after overclock!

I am now using IBM 6.4G harddisk Travelstar 6GN (model
: DBCA-206480), it worked find until I overclocked my
50ct

I cut the pin 15 of W48C54A chip last night and hope
my 50ct will go up to 100MHz.

My bad dream come.

My 50ct can't boot up again no matter I :-
1) boot up with floppy and fdisk/mbr or
2) boot up with floppy, delete my FAT partitions (I
used to boot from FAT partition), recreate them and
format/s the boot partition again 

I can complete all above operation without any error,
but my libretto just can't bootup again with hd. 
I can even see the complete content in partition after
I boot up with floppy(of course, before I format my
hd).  

It's strange that when I swap 6.4G hd with the
original 810Mb toshiba hd, it works again.

Is it due to the limitation of bios for handling large
harddisk? (It should not be, since my hd works fine
before I o/c) or due to overclock?
Should I reconnect pin 15 to make it works again? 

Please help

This is odd...but something we've seen before with IBM disks. You may have to 
search the archives, but I've seen two cases (on my machines) where pin-15 
overclocking didn't work.

Occasionally, the disc interface chip won't work at the higher bus speed, so 
no boot - but yours boots with the original tosh disk, so it doesn't look 
like that.

The other problem is that some IBM disks won't work at the higher speed. If 
you use the IBM test disk that sometimes comes with them, you'll find it 
reports something like 'faulty cable'.

Here's the fix that worked for me: clock the bus speed down to 50 by 
reconnecting pin 15, then increase the multiplier on the processor. It's a 
bit more complex to get to - I think the instructions are on Xin's site - but 
that should give you 100MHz on the processor. It's not as fast on i/o bound 
applications (disk, memory access is still at the old speed) but compute 
bound apps benefit (mpg replay etc)
