    Too many scary beeps on booting


    I'm emerging from a bad experience that caused me to reinstall W10. I lost most of my programs and am beginning to reinstall them. W10 now boots fine and got rid of the problems that I was having. But some scary differences have appeared.

    • During reboot I get some beeps never before heard. One beep - pause - then two beeps.
    • the ACER splash screen and the BIOS enter screen no longer appears.
    I can continue to hope for the best and continue reinstalling programs, but I think that something is wrong.

    How can I diagnose or get rid of these scary beeps and get my (press f10 for BIOS) flash back? I think that my worries are justified and I don't want to reinstall all of my programs only to determine that it was futile.

    :)

    Maxtor Hard Drive Beep

    Maxtor drive beeps

    Have a similiar situation using a DiamondMax Plus 8, 20GB Mfg Date 4/15/03. Drive used as a second system drive. Drive is recognized in boot menu but not in drive list. Drive is always connected. Computer started locking up for several seconds at a time. Chkdsk on drives and couldn't find that drive. Removed drive from bay to make sure connections were ok and heard the beeping. Shutdown and restart and never got to windows screen. Restarted several times then saw drive in boot menu and Windows loaded but Maxtor not in drive menu. When recognized in boot menu, computer will start but beeps and is not found.

    Tried kicking it real hard but no improvement. Any suggestions?

    Windows Booting beep!!

    Check the boot order in the BIOS also, it might not have the hard drive as primary in the boot list.
