UPDATE:
I forgot to try pressing F12 (select boot device) during bootup.
After I pressed F12 (constant beeping), the HDD was highlighted so
I pressed Enter. By golly, the beeping stopped and everything
booted up just fine!! Note: I tried a reboot, but the beeping was
back until I pressed F12 and pressed Enter.
FYI: A list of beeping codes I had downloaded, but nothing
specified for this particular laptop. A constant beeping may
indicated bad RAM. I had checked the RAM in this laptop
via bootable RAM testing CD. There was NO errors with
the RAM.
I am able to use this laptop in spite of the beeping
at bootup.
