:/ thats a strange one, I cant see why it should affect the IDE/SATA detection.
do you have any other HDD in your system.

Is there an optional PCI frequency lock in you bios? IS there is turn it on, increasing the FSB will usaully increase the PCI speed too and that can and sometimes will effect your hard disk controller. I don't know anything about your motherboard so can't say for sure, but locking the PCI bus if it's possible may very well solve your problem, as might giving the chipset a bit more voltage (but that's a little dangerous)
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Mani's comment is what I would have thought as well. You never ever want to overclock the PCI bus, can cause data loss and all sorts of bad stuff
