Have a look here but with DDR266 I think you may struggle, it will depend on whether its Samsung Orig or third party.

Hopefully its only your DDR thats being pushed too far and not data corruption, you have heeded the warning and put the HDD on IDE 3 or 4 , I hope. If its just the DDR being pushed too far then when you lower the FSB again it should be OK. You could try relaxing the timings.

tried all that, got a tool off the western digital site and had did the "write zeros to hd" test (quick version of test), that seems to have gotten rid of the problem, now i tried rewriting the mbr, that doesnt work, so im gonna try and reinstall windows now..tell u how that goes.

Are you meaning it doesnt see XP1700? If yes then that will be because you have it OCed.
