Hi All,
Don't ask me why, but I reset my BIOS to the default settings the other day and when The machine restarted I got this long single beep repeated every couple of seconds. I cleared the CMOS and powered up and I get to the first stage of the POST where it checks the memory (did that fine) , tries to find the hard drives (couldn't find the), and checks the other drives (finds 2 DVD drives) then it comes up with this warning "cmos checksum error - defaults loaded" with the options of F1 to continue or Del to enter BIOS.
If I continue, it is OK until I get to the Verifying DMI Pool Data, then it comes up with "Boot from CD: and then Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. " I assume this last warning is because the system can't find the hard drives? If I then ctrl alt del, I get the long beep(s)
If I press del, I go to the Bios and check that everything that is needed is enabled and restart, I get the long beep(s)
And so it goes every time I choose one of the 2 options
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I should proceed now?
