tricey Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have just got a new hard drive reset to DOD standard. I got this as my old one was not working it just did not do anything. It was just making a constant beeping sound. I have fixed the new one in and I have set the jumper but it is still making a beeping sound all the time. I have a MS DOS startup disc and also I have a Microsoft XP disc to install. A. What does the beeping sound mean? B. How do I use the MS DOS disc? C. How do I install the XP disc? Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 The beeping sound could mean anything from a bad board to bad memory, how many beeps do you hear and do you know what make of bios the board has. Toss the MS-DOS disk in the bin it's worthless. Go into the bios and set the first boot order to cdrom first, insert the xp disk, save the changes and exit the bios. Quote
tricey Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Well... It beeps for about 3 seconds and then stops for 1 second and constant like that. Thanks Wolfey Quote
