Is it constant, or does it have short or long beeps?
Check out this link
http://www.amptron.com/html/bios.beepcodes.html (http://\"http://www.amptron.com/html/bios.beepcodes.html\")
Can you boot to safe mode?
What kind of computer is this?
What operating system?
Not enough info to truly help you
Disconnect all peripheals from the computer and then try booting

At the startup screen, instead of selecting safe mode, can you select "Last know good configuration"?
Did you disconnect all hardware from the computer you don't need plugged in
Eg.. Printer

Again, I don't know what you mean by that
Can you or can't you get it to load with safe mode command prompt??
I'm leaving for a bit, I'll be back in about an hour
Slow down and explain more clearly please

if you dont care about your files you can crash and reboot your computer
(mine didnt beep though) maybe cos sound was off or w.e
Post by: guestolo on August 05, 2007, 01:56:48 PM
Are you running on battery, or are you plugged in to a wall outlet?

Enter your bios setup
On your Acer it should be the F2 key when booting up
After it loads
Exit out of there and see if the computer will boot
Did you get a Recovery CD with your laptop?

Here's what I found for Acer recovery
Press <Alt> + <F10> to open the Acer eRecovery Management utility.
Enter the password to proceed. The default password is six zeros.
In the Acer eRecovery Management window, select Recovery actions and
click Next.
Select the desired restore action and follow the onscreen instructions to
complete the restore process.

Put disk in CD drive
reboot the computer
Follow the on screen instructions
EDIT>>I believe, you also have a recovery partition on the hard disk
If for whatever reason you can't repair or reinstall XP with CD
The method I posted earlier would be your next step
pressing ALT-F10 at the Acer boot screen may bring up the recovery window
This should set the operating system back to factory defaults

Yes, Its a laptop. Its on a battery.
Try plugging the power cord in if you haven't done a recovery yet, or did you try that?
Post by: Snowzak on August 06, 2007, 08:52:51 AM
But, I do havea Windows Xp disk to reload windows, Should i try that..?

Its not the "Offical" recovery disks..Its a RW Copy.Oh, what probably happened, is when you first got your laptop, you were bugged to create those backup disks
You did and that is what you can use
So go ahead and try using those RW's
If it is a DVD rewriteable it will probably be only one disc, if it's a Cdrw probably 2 of them
So boot up with the backup disk and follow the prompts
If you get to a spot your unsure about, post back and let me know the exact step your having problems with
