Are there any users connected?  maybe one of the users redirected a text file to the console by mistake.  The Control-G character causes a beep.

c:\> echo ^G^G^G

You will here 3 beeps.  The hex value of a ^G is a 07.  Its often found in binary files.

c:\windows> type TWUNK_32.EXE

you will probally here a series of beeps depending on the file.

was it a crashed hard drive?
It was a corrupted HD. I rebuilt it and then it worked fine.

 Once again thanks for all the advice.
