Me’s got a problem
 

gday guys..............................Harrys at it again :P

I got a second pc which is the slave and it's connected to my main pc by a cross-over cable. It’s running with two hard drives, which I want to remove one and put it in the main pc. Can I just remove it and then reinstall it in my main pc?

But the problem is my slave pc when I switch it on I get a beeping noise, it lasts for about 3 seconds then stops then start again and the monitor is receiving nothing!

Need help asap…………………….

:confused:

Well it depends if it's the drive you expect the main PC to boot off. If it is, then I wouldn't expect it to work. You'll probably have to re-install windows. Also, if it was the drive the old PC booted off, then it will of course have problems if it can't find it.

Check to see if it comes up in BIOS when you start the PC - you know, hold down F1 or DEL or whatever it says to go into setup mode right at the start when you boot up.

MUD THANKS, IVE LEFT THE MAIN HARD DRIVE IN THE SECOND PC. THE HARD DRIVE I REMOVED WAS THE SLAVE.

Can't see any reason the old PC wouldn't work if you just took out the slave. Check the BIOS and see if it has a problem.

ok will try tonite.................. :P

ok tried to start the pc with the windows cd in and still wont fire up , still just getting the beeping sound!

the monitor status is no signal thats what it say's on the screen.

err that doesn't sound good. Make sure everything is plugged back in (eg. video cable). If it is, open it up and look inside - maybe you bumped the video card or something else out of its slot.

Yeah 3 beeps is 'usually' a video card problem, so like Mud said I'd check that first - take it out and plug it in properly again cause yeah it could've had a shove etc.

mud i plug in the main pc's moniter to my second pc's vidoe card and no go! so i think the video card has shit its self on the second pc!

:P

can you inform me of a cheap video card for a asus mother board its a p3b-f ....................pentium lll 550. the old video card was a diamond viper v770

thanks

you want 3d capability? Maybe look for a Geforce 2 or something

yeah thanks again mud!

Easy to reboot....

1. Turn Etch-a-sketch upside down. (So lcd screen is facing the ground)
2. Shake Etch-a-sketch vigorously.
3. Be careful not to drop Etch-a-sketch while rebooting. This may cause internal damage

As fast as your fingers can twitch.

Slaide

Slaide - I noticed that creek down from you turned itself into a raging river the other night.

Yes.. It often does that when there is some rain.

A few kids were actually body boarding down the stream.
