One beep usually means a successful POST - is everything working okay?

As glc says, the single beep is indicative of a successful "power on self test" POST. It's strange you haven't heard it before.
Have you noticed any hardware updates recently? What you describe indicates a BIOS update, but that is unlikely, thats the sort of thing you would normally do yourself.

Interesting. I have never used "disk doctor" but it would explain your extraneous beep.
