Re: New HDD install weirdness?
The beeping may be a coincidental problem. The power supply is the usual culprit; remove your new power-hungry HDs and see if the system boots normally.
You did make a mistake with copying your boot disk though; using 'dd' like that makes a copy that looks exactly like your old HD, which means that you've wasted a lot of space on your new HD. The way to do it is to boot with Knoppix (or any live CD), partition the HD, then simply copy all files from the old disk to the new disk (using the 'archive' option) and edit 'etc/fstab' if you need to. If you have a swap partition you will need to use 'mkswapfs' to initialize it before making it active with 'swapon'.
