When i boot it up a message appeared; Disk error. Replace Disk and press any key to continue. There's also about five beeps when tries to boot up?
I know it not enough info, but this all i have.

Seeing this is the second post for this problem and the answers to the last one had you check the floppy drive, the beeps indicate that it can't find the hard disk. You'll need to open it up and check the cables. Make sure they're seated properly.
Also, go into the BIOS set up and make sure that the drive settings are still there. Depending on how old it is, there may not be an "automatic detect" setting. If the drive parameters are missing, check your clock. If it is wrong, you probably have a dead or bad battery. That'll need replacing. Again, depending on how old it is, that could be a CR2032 or similar "coin" type battery or worst case a square external battery.

Every time ive gotten a disk error, its because I have a floppy disk in the drive. And then it beeps at you. Make sure you dont have a disk in there, because it will try and boot off that disk and since its not a boot disk it cant.

sure there isn't a floppy disk inside of this computer? Try removing it and booting back up. That beeping is a BIOS beep. Unfortunately, I don't know which version of BIOS you have and every BIOS has different beeps for different problems.

If there is no disk in the A drive. Then there is a hard drive problem.
