hi gang.

a buddy of mine has an amd chip.

when it starts to bootup, it goes so far & then gives a single beep & then
goes to the page where one can select safe mode.

it doesn't matter what i select at that point, it goes thru it's gyrations
again, beeping once & comes back to the same point.

can anyone tell me the most likely answer to the problem?

i am guessing either a bad hard drive or a bad virus. (more likely harddrive
problem)

HELP
thanks
ralph
