After installing my new CPU heatsink, I decided to see how high I could get my CPU to clock. I did sucessfully get my Athlon 64 3700+ to pass Prime95 at stock voltage clocked to 2.8ghz, but when I tried to get it to 3ghz it wouldn't post. My first reaction was to remove the CMOS battery, wait 10 minutes, and the BIOS reset itself. Good. I configured my BIOS again (stock clock. I disabled SATA, lowered my AGP apeture size, disabled floppy, set memory clocks. I'm on IDE.) It posts, but it doesn't find anything to boot to. D'Oh!
I haven't had to deal with this for an entire OS generation, so I don't know how to fix it and point to my drive and partition with Windows XP. I've also been planning to install Fedora Core 5 or Slackware on my master HD (Windows is on my slave). If I was to do that tomorrow, would their bootloader(s) be able to locate the XP, or will I (and how will I) configure it to boot to my xp? Anyways, I'm pretty sure there's a command for the winXP repair console to do this.. What command is it, and will it be any help or will I have to do this manually?
Thanks for your time. ~Posting from Knoppix ;-)
btw I'm not someone coming by to request help and never return. My account's password is stored with passwordsafe, which is in my WinXP. D'Oh!
