When I boot my Epox EP8-KTA MB with 2 Maxtor HD's when the drives start, there are 2 beeps together as a DTMF touch tone keypad sounds. This has started recently.

The only thing that I can see is the drives are having trouble starting or some conflict when they both start at the same time. Usually one drives starts, then the other. But now many times they seem to start at the same time or nearly the same time.

The only hardware change is a memory upgrade to 2 256 sticks of PC133 SDRAM.

I'm running 2k w/sp2. VIA chipset and AMD 700 T-bird

I ran the Maxtor diagnostic and they both passed all tests. Maxtor says there is no problem (what else is new).
