I can't get the laptop to except any disk for the cd-rom. I tryed loading the OS system and booting it up. The drive light comes on the cd-rom drive for a few, then it goes out.
Cheapest way would be to get an external USB CD-ROM - Most newer laptops should be able to boot from an USB Device.
G'luck
Ahh 4 beeps is the info we need. - 1st I would re-seat the ram, then look at the info below if beeping continues.
I hope this may help. G'luck
