A continous BEEP from the time you turn it on?? here a a few causes:
1.A continous beep from turn on indicates the video memory or system memory is bad.
Be sure the memory boards are fully seated and tight. If you have more than 1 memory card - remove one and try to boot with the other.
2. video card failure. But you say you get the "first screen" so this is unlikley.
3. Replace the keyboard. The beep will appear as soon as the OS starts and the keyboard drivers are loaded. A stuck key or keys will then fill up the keyboard buffer, maybe up to 132 characters and will start a pulsed beep, signifying the buffer overflow.
Your hard drive is probably OK and even if the computer is broken you can pull the hard drive and use an adapter to read the data on another computer.
Good Luck
