See if it's under warranty, the controller that runs it is bad, if not under warranty, buy a new one or buy a External HDD/SSD enclosure, they are cheep, just make sure it's for the size drive you have and same serial port, ( IDE,SATA 2, Sata 3 ) you can get them to plug into your PC as USB, EX Sata, Esata.

    There is nothing in the manual that the dribe has a audio mic to beep, are you sure it's not windows beeping. What was the drive you took out, was it IDE or Sata, can you plug it into a port on your motherboard, if you can plug it in and see if the drive shows in-control panel-admin tools-comoputer MGT-storage -disk MGT, if you see the drive, format the drive fat 32, thenit might show under my computer, then you can rt click on it and go to properties and go to tools, and error check the drive. If you can't plug it directly do the same thing with it plugged into the USB port. Remember, you only need to plug in both USB plugs when the computer only has USB 1.0 ports.

During starting i get one beep every 2 sec.
Hello axel,
Before addressing the beep code, please unhook any devices you have plugged into the computer, such as printer, scanner, camera. Then try starting it.
According to hp that beep code is associated with a cd/dvd burner issue. Open up the computer, and pull the power cord out of it. While you have the case open, clean out any dust that is inside, overheating may be causing the issue. Place cover back on, and try starting it.
Next step is to reseat the hardware inside your computer, this involves removing components such as memory, video card(if present), and any additional hardware you may have.
Next remove extra hardware, If it is non-essential try starting your computer without it being installed.
including a link to common beep codes to use as a reference, They will change depending on the hardware you remove, such as memory, video, and the processor.

The hard drive could have been irreparably damaged. The chattering sound is the heads trying to find the beginning of the data sectors and can't. The drive will shut itself off automatically after a predetermined time period.

System not booting
Try power cycling the laptop by taking the battery out and pressing the power button 10 times. On the 10th time, hold it down for 10 seconds. Put the battery back in and attempt to boot the laptop.

If that doesn't work, listen for a cooling fan when you attempt to boot the laptop. If you don't hear the fan, it's likely that the motherboard is malfunctioning somewhere.

Do you hear any beep codes when you try to turn it on? Here is a list of beep codes for reference:

No Beeps: Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals
One Beep: Everything is normal and Computer POSTed fine
Two Beeps: POST/CMOS Error
One Long Beep, One Short Beep: Motherboard Problem
One Long Beep, Two Short Beeps: Video Problem
One Long Beep, Three Short Beeps: Video Problem
Three Long Beeps: Keyboard Error
Repeated Long Beeps: Memory Error
Continuous Hi-Lo Beeps: CPU Overheating
Hope this helps! Good luck!

I just purchased a slightly used HP m9340f Pavilion Media Center PC. It won't boot up... it just beeps. Nothing shows on the monitor.
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.
