Oh boy, could I use some help. I get the following message when trying to strart up my computer or go into safe mode:

Realtek rtl 8139 (x)/8130/810x pci fast ethernet controller v 2.13 (020326)
PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable
PXE: exiting PXE ROM

This flashes over and over. When I go into BIOS, there seems to be no help there. I have varied my boot up sequence, and tried turning of the network sequence, to no help.

I did put my HDDs to boot first then I got the message at startup: Invalid partition table. I then used partition doctor to rebuild the partition table. But this has not worked either. I took out my second hard drive (this system is a laptop) and then computer boots up and works fine. So I know it has to do with the second hard drive, but I also know it works because partition doctor was able to run it's own version of scandisk and reported no errors, and it displays all the partitions along with their unique names and size...when I put the hard drive back in, it gives me the realtek message.

S.O.S.!
