| 772482 | 2009-05-09 09:44:00 | Hello. A friend of mine has a HP dv6000 with Vista installed. Whenever it is turned on or rebooted before it boots the speaker sounds a repetive 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 notebook hard drive at the top, so therefore first, followed by floppy and cd etc. I have saved and exited yet the beeping remains. when you 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. |

Normally I set Floppy (if it has one - if Not then disable it) CD > HDD. If still playing up, could be a CMOS battery about to die. |

| 772484 | 2009-05-09 21:25:00 | What sequence of beeps? It indicates a hardware problem. | pctek (84) | ||
| 772485 | 2009-05-10 21:21:00 | Hiya, thanks for that but it didn't work . Tried resetting to default, then elevated notebook HD to top of the list and still getting the error . Interestingly if i make HD the second option and floppy the first I get the error message and if I press escape to change the boot order Notebook HD is still the only option but instead of say No . 1 it says No . 2 Notebook HD so it does recognise the boot order in the bios . The beep noise is just a constistent beep beep beep, fast, no long pauses and no long beeps . just beep beep beep beep beep . if that helps . . . . |

| 772487 | 2009-05-10 22:13:00 | So does it go? As in continues to Windows? Or not? Continuous beep Power supply, system board, or keyboard problem Repeating short beeps Power supply or system board problem But I doubt it..... Interestingly if i make HD the second option and floppy the first I get the error "message " Disable floppy compeletly and see what happens. |
