...Well shit, the hard drive died yesterday and I don't have the money to get another one at the moment.

Hi, can you elaborate on what kind of failure that hard drive has? Me or someone else on the forum might be able to help if you get into more details on what is wrong with it.

For example:
Is it completely unresponsive, just sitting like a brick in the machine?
Is it making clicking noises?
Does it do something but always return corrupted data?

I assume the beeps are coming from the PC Speaker during the attempt of booting from the HDD, is this correct?

The Siemens Nixdorf D1064 motherboard has a Phoenix BIOS, which means that the beep codes are either comes in 3 parts or 4 parts.

For example a 4 part beep code might be: 3 beeps pause 2 beeps pause 1 beep pause 1 beep pause giving 3-2-1-1, which means Hard Disk Controller initialization fault.

Is this the BIOS beep code you are getting?

The beeping is coming from the hard drive itself.
