Please help on boot problem....

[b1gapl]

I got this message after I replaced an exhaust fan and, tried to overclock a little:

Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

I tried loading setup default in the BIOS, but I still get this message. Please help me...thanks.

Windows is on an SATA hard drive. And I also have a slave IDE. Thanks for responding. I will try your suggestions.

OK, I had a spare formatted IDE HDD, so I installed Windows on that, and it worked fine. Something I noticed though, is that the time to load windows is a lot slower.
