Hi,
This isn't a Gentoo related problem, but a hardware
one (I know next to nothing about hardware).
First of all I have a Micron computer with a floppy
drive, DVD-read drive (/dev/hdc), CDR drive
(/dev/hdd), a master harddrive (/dev/hde), and a slave
harddrive (/dev/hdf).
Yesterday my computer was running fine. Today my dad
put in a DVD burner where the CDR was previously
(/dev/hdd). He also took both harddrives out and put
them back in because the ribbon (whatever it's called,
the grey cable that goes into each drive) was twisted.
Now, when I try to start up my computer, it doesn't
start at all, it just goes "Beep.... (wait 3
seconds)...Beep.... (wait 3 seconds)...Beep.... (wait
3 seconds)..." over and over. It doesn't show the
splash screen for the video card, or for the
manufacturer (Micron).
Any idea why it would do that? What do the beeps mean?
I put the CDR back in instead of the DVD burner, and
it still gives the same error.
Last time I let my dad touch my computer haha.
Thanks for any help,
Bill Six
