    any hardware gurus? i'm stumped

    i have a PC here that I want to reinstall windows on (i have a brand new HD for the pc).

    I can get into the PC's bios settings, and changed the boot order to boot to CD first, then floppy second..

    when i reboot the pc, it almost bypasses my settings and goes to black screen and makes a few beeping sounds..

    whats up with this?

    any help would be appreciated

      Did you check the jumper settings on the harddrive?

          the jumper settings are fine. the new hd shows up as the master in BIOS

              I dont understand why it doesn't goto the CDROM because I set it first in the boot sequence.

                  Make sure your OS cd is bootable

                  I had a cd I burnt that turns out wasnt bootable (i didnt know) and it would just skip the CD rom... i messed with it for around 2 hours before i figured it out

                  then I had another cd that was bootable but burned on some funky black cd media and wasnt detected

                          if you are installing windows make sure to press a key to boot off the cd

                              You could just use a boot floppy and then change to the CD drive. That will work for now.
