Can you Boot on the original DVD ? If yes try to start a diagnostic with the diagnostic tools. If it does not boot try a PMU reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2183
If you cannot do anything after that, have you MacBook Pro looked at by an Authorized Apple Partner or better take it to an Apple Store.
You have not installed new RAMs or HDD by yourself by chance ?
Repititive tones with pauses between them indicate that the RAM is failing a self check. What, if anything, is the LED light on the front doing? Question seconded - did you install RAM recently? Regardless, it might help to remove and reinstall the RAM.
The light blinks with each beep. I installed new ram some time ago. I'll try removing it and reinstalling. It will be later today.
I'll try this later today and let you know.
Thank you for your quick replys to my question! I was in a bit of a panic because I was at a photography workshop and all of a sudden, no computer.
It did end up being a RAM stick that went bad. Got it replaced and I was good to go again.
Thanks again for all your speedy advice!
