Message: [QUOTE="Tonya, post: 12845618"] The last week or so my Dimension 1100 started making a beeping kind of noise when I turn on the pc. It gets to the windows screen and stops. I have to hit F12 then boot into normal mode. I thought maybe if I did a fresh install of Windows xp that would help. As I was doing the fresh install when it shut itself off I still had to hit the F12 to boot up so that it could finish the install. Now that I did that it will not find some of my drivers, ethernet controller, video card, ect. I'm wondering could it be the hard drive going out?And if so how can I make sure I order the right one and how hard are they to change out? Its only about 2 years old. This is the first time I've had this kind of problem when reinstalling xp that it would not automatically add the drivers( I have a different dimension that is a lot older and have done reformats on it) Any help would be very appreciated.
