I have bought SATA HDD Seagate barracuda 7200.9 and it is connected on main board ECS 865PE-A. It all works OK while CPU clock is on 200 MHz, but when I increase CPU clock for only 5 MHz system cannot recognize the drive.
What is the problem?
Before this drive I had the PATA drive and it was work without problems while the CPU clock was on 250MHz.

Please help.
 
It's highly possible the SATA bus is being overclocked along with you FSB and putting it beyond spec to run properly. While I typically wouldn't believe they would be interconnected somehow, your symptom seems to show that's happening. I'd manually set any frequencies that are adjustable in the BIOS and see if that helps.

My BIOS does not support it, how I can unlock this option?

If you can't, you can't. :( That's what separates the cheap motherboards from the more expensive.
 
Can I overclock CPU, FSB and memory and leave PCI at 33 MHz?
