Safely Remove Hardware Error

Hi there
Recently i've been getting this problem with windows vista home edition
where constantly on and off im getting the two beeps as though a USB
device has been plugged in and within one second you hear another two
beeps indicating that it has been removed.
I'm not putting anything in or out i'm guessing this is some sort of
hardware error. I've had the laptop for about 6 months now.
I'm puzzled.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

Try the simple stuff first. Plug the flash drive into another computer.

there isn't a flash drive, the whole thing is happening within my laptop
which has nothing plugged in the USB ports at all.

It seems I am having the exact same situation occuring with my PC.

I have a Dell 1525 and contacted Dell support. After an hour and a
half on the phone with my friends in India, I was told that the only
recommendation they had was for me to re-install Windows.

I refuse to believe that to be the only solution.

Hope someone can come up with a real solution.

Hey there, i have in fact solved it, but am disappointed.
In the front of the laptop on the right side there is a port that says
SD/MMC
Inside that is the flash card
If you remove this you should be fixed !
I'm pretty disappointed though, this must be a production fault or
something..
Seems like dell were pretty sloppy with the hardware
Hope this helps

Hello Alikane

Did exactly as you suggested. Removed the sdcard and the issue seems
to have been resolved. Perhaps our friends at Dell should be instructed
to come to this site to get the correct solutions rather then jumping to
the wrong conclussions.
Thank you for your help.

Peter
