it would not load, I changed the bios to load from a flash drive,nothing just
kept getting PXE-E61:media test falure check cable",I pulled CMOS batt out and
back nope,I took HD out of of Hp put it in my Dell I was able to load new os on
in the HD.Then I put the HD from my Dell in the HP,it seemed to start up ok and
then I got a blu screen you know w/viruses on computer, check or change HD,run
CHKDSK/F, how do that if I can't log on?.I exchanged HDs,same.But they both work
fine in my much older Dell.Any ideas?Please Thanks Out.

Hi,

 

Please do not post many posts for a same question. The "PXE-E61:media test falure check cable" message means the machine wants to boot from network. Please try this

    Go to BIOS (on Boot press F10).
    Go to System Configuration Menu
    Boot Options
    Change there Network adapter to Hard drive and press F10.
    Press F10 to save.
    Reboot the machine

Regards,

BH

Re: After I erased the HD in my hp notebook with DBAN

Yes I've done all that ,it starts the set ,drives ete,gets half way through then blu screen again.It might be that I trying load a xp os on an HP that came w/a win 7 in it.I think this because ,when I put the HP HD in the dell witch came w/an xp in it,and tried to install win 7 it would only get part way through it(not right drives)but the xp worked fine on the Hd from the HP in the Dell.So I'am going to try installing a win 7 os iso that I'll get online using a flash drive,because I don't have a back up win 7 cd.If you have any more ideas please let me know,so far you have giving me the best reply.Thanks!

I will need more details.

Please write your notebook product number (p/n), which system was installed (or which system you are trying to install) on this notebook and country of purchase.

Re: After I erased the HD in my hp notebook with DBAN

Problem has been solved ,well some what.

Although nothing I tried would allow me to install a Win OS,I was able to install a Lenux Ubuntu 12.04 OS.

One draw, back can't use netflix on Lenux ,so I installed a virtual box program,and was able to load Windows in it. Now I can see neyflex and I get the best of  both worlds.
