Cannot format netbook

[LunarWolf]

My friend gave me her netbook to format. I sucessfully make a bootable usb. But when I plug my usb in, it reads like normal. The first time, it loads normally. The second time, it loads until Windows is loading files. Then it stop loading and start beeping continuously. What is this? How to solve it?

What netbook is it and what operating system are you trying to install?

HP Mini 110-3000. Win 7 Starter.

Did you achieve anything, Lunar?

Has the problem been solved? If not...

Do any of the LED's flash as HP give more info about them than beep codes? Make sure the battery has decent charge as it may give flashes or beeps because charge is very low.

Try a hard reset: Disconnect the AC power adapter, remove the battery, and then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds. Reconnect the AC power adapter (but do not connect the battery), Press the Power button.

Last, perform memory self test from within the BIOS.

Just a few things to try from the HP site, nothing original but worth a go!

Is ok already. I try a different USB port and it works. The thing is sometimes, after format after it boot up, it will beep. The screen windows is starting is not even there. I think is a hardware problem. Anyway, gave back to my friend, the netbook didn't beep.
