Re: Err2Err3
also I found this, it may help you :
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable means that it can't boot for any one of the following reasons: - non-system disk in floppy or CD drive - bad BIOS or CMOS settings - bad hard drive (physically, cable connection or no bootable file) If the simple stuff doesn't check out, boot from your system restore CD |

Re: Err2Err3
Can you get into the bios of the machine?
Please check to see if the computer is trying to boot from an external drive or another drive other than the hard drive volume. Please select the HD volume and re-boot. Let me know what happens |

Re: Err2Err3
If you are not able to boot into the OS to safe mode, i can only suggest that you have a corrupt Master Boot Record (MBR), or the worst case scenario is a dead drive.
Looking at the error you have here, there are a lot of links to this type of error. This is only a suggestion on my part and of course please feel free to search more. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...7114958AAYyaxO regards gg |
