Motherboard beeps on low Hard-Drive space

My Mobo (in sig) constantly beeps (one beep per three seconds) when any of my two Hard-Drives are low on space.

How do I disable the beeping ? It's very loud, high-pitched and aggressive on my ears. Windows pops-up a message on my task bar anyway, telling me it's low on space, so I don't need the beeping from the Motherboard. And yes it's indeed coming from the Mobo, my speakers are completely turned off.

So do I disable that somewhere inside Windows ? Or in the BIOS ? What option(s) do I need to look for ?

Thanks.

Windows XP? Are you using eMule? I know eMule beeps when the HD is low on space (it can be disabled in the options menu) but I didn't know Windows does it too. In any case, you can disable the speaker altogether if you go to Device Manager, enable View -> Show Hidden Devices, then look for a device called "Beep" under "Non Plug'n'Play devices", open its properties dialog, go to the Driver tab and click the Stop button.
