Hello All, My computer has started beep beeping again. I am running OS X and I believe once again that my hard drive is starting to fail. I am keeping a second drive as a back-up. My question is-- is it really my hard drive. This "beep '2 second pause' beep" is starting to concern me!! Any feedback? The last time this happened my system locked I restarted and there was a grey "no smoking" symbol -without the cigarette of course- and I needed to restart again. When the system came up it took along time to boot but everything was once again fine. A sleep problem? A have 2 Maxtor 60gig. Looking in my Sys. Profiler I noticed a Stick of Ram Not showing up. I may have answered my own question. oh yeh. Thanx Tony __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
