Problem with CPU speed

I bought a 160Gig hard drive to replace my 40Gig system. I tried Norton Ghost and was having a lot of problems.
My motherboard seemed to be having a hard time detecting the new 160 drive after I formatted it. I figured that since I have an ECS K75SA that I?ve never flashed, maybe it can?t read the bigger drives.
I flashed with the latest bios, (I know, I know, bad move), but now my BIOS defaults to 100mhz FSB instead of 133. Every time I try to change it, the system won?t boot, and I have to reset the CMOS jumper.
I am considering trying an older version of the BIOS to flash.

Any good advice would be greatly appreciated.


Forgot to mention: Chip is an Athlon XP 1800+, 512mb DDR 266, ATI Rage pro vid (hey, it's good enough for Blizzard games)
 
Did you format all 160GB as 1 NTFS Partition? What OS are you using? Do you currently have both drives installed? Which one is Master/Slave? What channel?
