Computer beeps two times after removal of entry

Hi!
Since a couple of months I have a strange issue...
Initially I had 11 entries in EasyBCD, different OS.
Checking my entries I found one day that there seem edto be one entry doubled, because starting these entries the same OS started.
It is an entry which starts WinXP... The doubled entry also started the same OS, but it was named "Former Version" or similar.
So I removed the entry "Former Version".

After restarting the PC the BIOS stopped execution with a warning message that the MBR was changed due to a malicious action or virus.
However, I could not find any virus...
Ignoring this message and switching off the warnings in BIOS, the computer starts normally but beeps two times in the beginning...
How can I get rid of this warnings resp. beeping without causing a mess...?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Wolfgang

I wonder why I get answers via Email regarding this issue but none of them are shown here...
Can somebody explain this to me...?
 
Maybe there aren’t any. I’ll send you a test one. Snother thing that can cause ‘phantom’ messages are spam posts that I clean out.
 
I received the following message, (which makes sense, it seems to be no spam) via email on 2024-12-03 13:12 from "donotreply@neosmart.net":

Computer beeps two times after removal of entry​

Hello,
It seems like you're encountering a few issues related to the changes made in EasyBCD, possibly causing the BIOS to detect some inconsistencies with the Master Boot Record (MBR). Here's a step-by-step approach to resolving this problem:

1. Verify the MBR and Boot Configuration
After removing the duplicate entry in EasyBCD, it's possible the MBR was altered or corrupted. You can repair it using Windows' built-in tools.

Boot from a Windows installation disk or recovery drive.
Select Repair your computer > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
In Command Prompt, type the following to fix the MBR:
bash
Copy code
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Restart your system and see if the warning message in the BIOS still appears.
2. Reset BIOS Settings
The beeping you're hearing and the BIOS warning might be due to a BIOS setting that got triggered due to the MBR change. Resetting the BIOS to default settings might clear the warnings.

Enter your BIOS settings (usually by pressing Del or F2 during startup).
Look for an option to Reset to Default or Load Optimal Defaults. This will clear any modified settings that might be causing the warning or beeping.
Save and exit the BIOS.
3. Check for BIOS/UEFI Boot Settings
The beeping you're hearing could also be a system alert for hardware issues, particularly with boot configurations. You might want to check:

Ensure the system is booting in UEFI or Legacy mode correctly, depending on your setup.
If your system is configured for UEFI boot, make sure that Windows is booting in the same mode (UEFI or Legacy). EasyBCD changes might have caused conflicts between UEFI and Legacy boot settings.
4. Update BIOS
In some cases, a BIOS update can resolve issues with boot configuration detection or warning messages related to changes in the MBR. If you’re not already on the latest version, check the manufacturer’s website for your motherboard and apply the latest BIOS update.

5. Check Hardware
Double-check that no hardware is causing the beeping. Some systems use beep codes to indicate hardware issues. Two beeps might indicate memory or motherboard problems (although this varies by manufacturer). Refer to your motherboard's manual for details on beep codes.

6. Revert Changes in EasyBCD
If none of the above works, you could try restoring the previous configuration in EasyBCD by re-adding the missing entries or restoring the backup of your boot configuration if you made one before the changes.

After completing these steps, restart your system and check if the warning message and beeping are gone.
Best Regards

There was also another email in chinese letters, which was also not shown here. I translated it via Google translator and also this was no spam:

希望你能看懂和读懂中文
这个是BIOS/UEFI安全引导检查出的问题，需要关闭BIOS/UEFI安全引导，然后关闭找到“Beep”、“Speaker”或类似选项，选择“Disable”以关闭报警声，假如是声音设置，直接调为静音

Means:

I hope you can understand and read ChineseThis is a problem detected by BIOS/UEFI secure boot. You need to turn off BIOS/UEFI secure boot, then turn off "Beep", "Speaker" or similar options, select "Disable" to turn off the alarm sound, if it is a sound setting, just turn it to mute

I deleted the Chinese entry as Spam because Google Translate could only understand about half of it.
 
... I see... I translated it with Google into English and German and both translations made sense to me and were cmplete.
Strange... But the entry of vicky934 was in English and seems to be deleted inspite...
Just a mistake?
 
Well the poster should know to post in English on an English forum. Google only got halfway three times in a row. I guess they were having problems. When a post is removed sometimes it takes everything afterwards with it. I regret my error.
