Hardware Profile/Configuration Recovery Menu

Have a Latitude CPx J650GT that was purchased on eBay. Has a 20gb HD that was wiped and a copy of Windows XP Pro freshly installed. Bios is updated to A16. Boots to Dell screen then computer starts beeping and then boots to "Hardware Profile/Configuration Recovery Menu". The only option in the menu is "Undocked Profile". I naturally choose this, press enter, and am booted to Windows which runs without any problems. I can shut down Windows but the next time I turn on the computer, "Voila", "Groundhog Day", same booting to Dell screen, then the beeping, and the "Hardware Profile/Configuration Recovery Menu with the same option of the "Undocked Profile". Not sure if this is a Windows problem or laptop problem. Have gone to the "System" in the Windows Control Panel but could find no Hardware problems. Any suggestions? Thanks, BK.
