Ok, I just on my computer IMing and listening to music when weird beeps start happening so I rip off my side panel and it seemed to be coming from my floppy/hdd so I shut it off and unplugged my floppy (And CD drive to run just a bit more barebones) and the noises have now stopped but my system doesnt want to start up normally ((Doesnt wanna get to the xp login window)) and safe mode sortve works but it doesnt seem to load files very effeciently. Could my HDD have just died? Or what... this is really mind boggleing. It still see's the harddrive and the 122gb size.. I have no idea whats the problem. :(

Edit: I can hear my harddrive reading like normal, and last known good configuration doesnt do anything :confused:

Edit2: Trying to boot it now just causes it to restart... And ugh 3 short beeps with 1 long... im scared to go look what that means..

Edit3: I cant find it... its an asus mobo.. any ideas?

Well im gonna run mem test and go to bed.

Edit4...: Memory checks out, last thing I can think of is HDD... how should I test if I cant get into safe mode to do a chkdsk?
 
Alright, im chkdsk'ing now. I doubt there is anyway to mount my ipod and try to save any files if it fails?
 
Alright, 1.5 hours and its at 6%... safe to say my hard drive is dead? I wonder if its stil under warrenty.

Edit: Its not under warrenty :( I have no money either
 
Try unplugging and reseating your vid card... i have has sim beep codes like that... the 1 and 3 is vid card... reseat the card and it should take back off (i have had 3 asus boards that all do this... dont know why)... and the long continous is a RAM error... newegg is running specials all the time with both of these.... also there are programs to recover stuff from an ipod... ephpod will do that for you.... good luck
