Windows 7 Home Ultimate stuck on windows update
Boggin:
Do any of the beep errors match these codes - http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/compaqbeep.htm
When I used WSUS it initially looked like it was downloading 271 updates but when it came to install them, it only installed 142 which took a while..
Just as when there are a lot of updates it can take a few hours to download and install, the same is for WSUS, although I don't remember it listing any missing updates on mine as that machine had just been factory reset - so it wouldn't have had any other than what gets installed during the reset.
When it installs them, you will be able to see its progress as it counts them off with some taking longer to install than others.

No the beep noise is coming from the hard drive not the Compaq computer, one beep reapeating.
Boggin:
SeaTools for DOS does an acoustic check, but not sure how you determine what the noise means.
Create the bootable disk and see what it finds.

Have you tried booting up with the RAM removed to see if you get a different beep ?
Julian:
Ouch not good back up your hdd ASAP. Never wanna hear a beeping noise..
rhuffman:
No can do bios does not see the drive I cannot access it, going to try it on a few of my computers to see what happens. Have come to the conclusion that sea gate drives are crap, I have had 3 die on me over the last year, including a new 5 tb drive which I had for less than a week. Just copying files to it and it died.
