According to my motherboard manual, the beep sound matches the one that is described as no DRAM installed or detected. As told by one of you guys here, about the LBA, I just couldn't find any option in my bios to change this... :( I tried to load my bios default configuration (in order to clear whatever the FreeBSD instalation has done to it) but the problem remained... Does anyone have any idea about what to do? I just got happy when I saw you answered my question, Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jason" To: "Pedro n/a" Cc: Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 2:51 AM Subject: Re: MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta > Pedro n/a wrote: > > > In the first time I rebooted my computer, after I've finished the > > installation of this version, my motherboard started to beep and I > > didn't know what to do. > > After reseting the computer I realized that I could no longer "boot" > > my Windows.
