Overclocking By FSB & Hard Drive Failures

Is it true that overclocking the front side bus can lead to hard drive failures sometimes? I think this happened to me in the past so I may only overclock by multiplier now. Is there a safe amount to increase the front side bus that's almost certain not to hurt the hard drive (like using 136 instead of 133 FSB) or can any change cause problems?

Thanks!



 
Many new P4 boards have a PCI/AGP lock which would do the same thing as having a higher divider. I don't think many AMD (if any) have the lock yet.
 
i've got an 8k3a running an xp1600+ @ 166fsb oced 100mhz @ default voltage, it has the 1/5 divider, what i'm waiting for isthe 1/6 divider so can run 200fsb (400)
 
I am pretty sure that overclocking FSB could lead to data corruption more likely than hard drive failure. My mobo (Ak31) or the 60G hard drive from western really sucks. The system initially could take FSB over 146MHz. Now any speed over 143 MHz will lead to data corruption.
