First you should check your motherboard. If there is IDE connector (maybe there is connected your CD/DVD-ROM) and free position on the cable(maser or slave) you can attach your HDD (check the jumper position. Maybe there are on the label of your HDD). The other solution is to buy a SATA TO IDE cable.

SOURCE: I just purchased a slightly used HP m9340f

The beeps normally are a code which tells you what problem has been detected and is keeping the computer from starting. You can find information about interpreting the beep codes and what to at HP's site here. The most common causes of beeps and no start is bad memory or video. I'd suggest making sure the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets. It's possible that poor connections are keeping the memory from being properly detected.

SOURCE: HP Media Centre PC 7250 can I add a hard drive?

Here's a step by step guide for that HP 7250 model on HP's website about how to replace, or remove/add the Primary and Secondary Hard Drives (which pictures that help).

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00639696&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=1118243&rule=29389&lang=en

If your computer did not come with a second hard drive, you can install a second hard drive that you attach to the bottom of the inside of the computer tower.

SOURCE: hp pavilion a465c desktop which will not boot

Make sure the power supply switch on the back is set to 115v, its normally a red switch but could be black.

Once you do that see if you can turn on the computer and get video.

If not then with the computer turned off, take out the memory sticks and reseat them one at a time in each slot one at a time and try turning on the computer to see if you get video. If you still don't get video then try taking out the CPU and reseating it back into its socket properly. At the same time make sure there is no dust or dirt on the cpu or in the socket.

Try again and see if you get video. If you don't get any video this time then disconnect everything and only have power going to the motherboard. If you do this and you still don't have video then the motheboard is bad and would need to be replaced.

HP Pavilion Media Center a1510 PC desktop, one long beep pause and one long beep keeps repeating, fans and lights working. Is it worth fixing?

One beep means a problem with your processor (CPU). You can try to reset it (there is(are) clip(s) on the side that hold it down to the socket). Unplug everything from your computer before opening. You may need to remove the heat sink on top of the CPU; get some thermal paste to put on the CPU before you replace it. Lift up the clip, make sure the CPU is correctly oriented (one corner is marked) and press it back down. Spread new thermal paste and replace the CPU cooler. Try rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, you should try a new CPU - match to the socket on the motherboard. Unfortunately, if you use Windows, you will probably need to contact them to ensure that the OS key is valid.

I hope this helps.

(if your computer is really old or was cheap, replacing it with a new machine may be easier. Pull the old hard drive and either install it as a slave drive in the new machine or use a hard drive enclosure (IDE or SATA to USB or eSATA if that is on the new machine), a hard drive dock (SATA) or a IDE/SATA/USB dongle (that lets you connect a bare drive out in the open to the USB port) to get your data from the old computer.)
