Hello all,

For someone who has both Windows 10 and Windows 7 in dual boot, is there any trick to make the PC speaker issue a beep as soon as it displays the boot prompt for me to choose an OS?

Thank you,
Cleverson
 
You can, but not directly. EasyBCD's NeoGrub module can add a beep into the menu, but if you load it via the Windows boot manager then that wouldn't happen at the first menu..
 
OK, so I guess I can add a neogrub entry to the Windows boot manager, then make it call neogrub directly instead of displaying a first menu, then neogrub issues a beep and display its own menu, where I can select Windows 7 or 10. Is it all correct?

Regarding the procedure to make neogrub beep, I recall having read somewhere that one must put a hexadecimal character on a given line of the menu.lst file, but don't recall exactly how to do it. Can you explain please?
