The type and duration of beeps on bootup vary with the type of BIOS you have. Look in your motherboard manual, as they sometimes give you a translation of what the different type of beeps mean.
Or,take a look at this link, in the big yellow box in the middle, the links may help you. But you need to know what type of BIOS you have; you can normally see this on bootup when the screen is black, and the text is white.

I've seen better charts for beeps, but this is the best one I could find right now. Do check your motherboard's manual/website first. Good luck.
There are two quick beeps, and the cdroms light up (not sure about the hard drive)... everything inside appears to be running, but it won't boot
Any ideas?
