Start PXE over IPv4

[Athielen]

Whenever I am trying to load up my computer it says Start PXE over IPv4 and then proceeds to state PXE-E18: Server response timeout. Which then it states Start PXE over IPv6. I am very confused on how exactly I should go about into getting to my desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your motherboard can "boot" from several devices:

* internal CD/DVD device,

* External USB-connected CD/DVD device,

* USB memory-stick,

* disk-drive,

* using PXE ("Pre eXecution Environment") -- the abbreviation PEE ("Pre Execution Enviroment") was not chosen,

PXE allows a computer, usually in a "corporate" network, to load Windows from a "boot-server" that exists somewhere on that corporate network, through the Ethernet cable.

If you are in a "home" environment, there is no "boot-server".

Turn your computer on.

Immediately, enter BIOS SETUP.

Change the "boot order" to exclude PXE, and to put the disk-drive onto the top of the list.

 Save/Exit from BIOS SETUP.

If your computer is not booting from the disk-drive (where Windows is installed), you have a problem with the disk-drive.

Reboot your computer, and immediately launch the HP Hardware Diagnostics.

Run the "short" (a few minutes) test against the disk-drive.

If you get a "fail", then stop.

If you get some other error-message, tell us what it is.

If you get a "pass", then run the "long" (many minutes) test against the disk-drive.
