796650 2009-07-30 19:20:00 I have a HP dv9205US with Vista installed . Whenever it is turned on or rebooted before it boots the speaker sounds a repetitive beeping and on screen the message is something like:

press Esc to change boot sequence
press F10 to enter setup

I have gone into the bios setup and the changed the boot sequence to have the CD ROM AT Top, notebook hard drive Second . . saved and exited yet the beeping remains .

I also noticed in the main section of the BIOS my Drives are not listed (Hard Drive nor CD Rom drive) .

when I press Esc you are asked to change the boot sequence and the only option is Notebook hard drive, you hit enter and it boots up fine .

Any ideas why its not automatically selecting the hard drive? Going back into the bios the hard drive remains saved at the top .


Also my DVD drive is not recognized and the wireless gets recognized only once in a while .


I installed the latest BIOS version from HP and still the problem exists .

Any help suggestions on this is appreciated .
