Weird computer issue?
: After power on self test, My laptop beeps in loop and will not stop and will not proceed to Windows. IF I will disable the touch pad, the beeping will stop and it will now proceed to Windows. If I enable the the touch pad again in Windows, it is properly functioning. Why is that?

my guess -- the BIOS does not recognize the touchpad and refuses to mount a driver for it. Later, after Windows boots, when you reconnect it, Windows recognizes the device and installs a driver that works.
Not sure whether the problem is the BIOS or whether the touchpad driver the BIOS tries to call is fubar [damaged on HDD].
If updating the BIOS has no effect, then you need to suspect an HDD issue and I'd contact the maker's support people about reinstalling the required driver. [If the disk is damaged, reinstalling the driver may simply write the replacement to an empty location on disk and change the pointer in the queue to point to the new location, thereby effectively ignoring the damaged HDD sector.]
Of course, if the HDD is damaged, replacing it is also in order and doing that requires installing the drivers from the maker, and then the operating system, and then all your programs. [big PITA].
