The continuous beeping sound and the "boot device not found" error you are encountering with your HP 2000 laptop may indicate an issue with your hardware components, such as the hard drive or memory modules. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:
Step 1: Verify Beep Codes

- Navigate to the Boot menu and ensure that your hard drive is set as the first boot device.
- Save changes and exit the BIOS setup.
Step 3: Reset the BIOS

Step 4: Check the Hard Drive Connection
- Power off the laptop and remove the battery and power adapter.
