Invalid System Disk - 1 Beep

I am trying to set up a new system. I have encountered a few problems.

When the system boots is gives one beep.

Then it reads the RAM wrong - Shows 784 should be 1 gig

Then it comes to the next screen where it says that there is an invalid system disc, even though no disc is inserted in the drive

Bios shows that my system reads both hard drives, cd rom, floppy

What is going on? How can I get the system to not beep, read the ram properly and progress with the installation of the OS

Any help is greatly appreciated
 
If it's a brand new system, is the CMOS set correctly for your FSB, RAM speed, etc.?

What are the components, CPU, RAM, mobo, etc.?
 
you have 3 sticks or more of ram in the system? Sometimes certain motherboard (usually old ones) cannot correctly recognize all the of ram in the system (uaually more than 2 sticks, filled up the slots). Try changing the configuration of the memory modules.

And about the invalid system disk, do you have a floppy disk in the floppy drive. And is the OS installed on the harddrive a perfectly running OS?
