its beeping at me!

hi all, recently me and my dad did some demolition in his office, and because we had to move a lot of stuff, including his pc, i decided to reinstall the IDE hard drive that i had to borrow (its an old ass pc) but once i installed it and turned it on, the pc started beeping at me, not consistently, like when he starts doing stuff with it. so i decided that the hard drive might be dying, so i unplugged the cables but left the drive in there... but it is still beeping... any ideas... could the other drive be broken?

Look up the type of beeps you're hearing in the motherboard manual. i.e 3 short beeps followed by 1 long. 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps etc.

Tbh... Its pretty random... Sometimes it sometimes has a really long beep for a while sometimes it does short beeps and long beeps and it is pretty random and doesn't always happen...

The beeping represents an error, check the manual to see which error your getting.
