"Operating System not Found"

DavePoferl · 09-12-2005, 03:33 PM

My Thinkpad T 23 has decided to only give me the following message when I turn it on:
PXE-E61: Media Test Failure
Operating System not found

Any suggestions?

Install an operating system?

Can you boot from a floppy? Look in the BIOS to see if the boot order is floppy first, HD second.

Check the hard drive's IDE cable to make sure it's firmly connected at both ends.

Have you recently added a network card?
