If you are over-clocking the system and not telling the driver that you
are throttling the VIA-IDE-BUS at a rate different that 33MHz......
You will have a MESS.........
Think of it as an incorrect balance in your MATTER/ANTI-MATTER, Mr. Scott.
On a good day you clean up a mess........
On a bad one, you are dropping a mess.............
On a real bad one, you have no mess, it is all gone..........
