scoopy Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Anybody know anything about a constant beeping sound eminating from a Maxtor 30 GB Diamond Plus 8 drive ? Its my newest harddrive of only 2 years in age. It contained my windows partition (which I can afford to lose) and 2 storage partitions (which has a lot of my stuff). It also contained my lilo (MDK is on slave) I would like to salvage anything I can, but am out of tricks trying to get the system to boot with this drive attached in any fashion. Maxtor's web site claims their drives don't beep... but I swear... it is definiately their drive that is beeping. (I also tried this drive in another machine) I previously got "powermax" to partially run through a drive scan... but it locked up before finishing. And I already tried freezing it... but the beeps remain --- hot or cold --- before the system bios will recognize it during boot up. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
