It is a HP Pavillion dv6000. and no, I'm not trying to boot from network, I am just trying to boot. When I go into the setup, then go to configuration and boot sequence, there is an exclamation mark beside the network adapter and to the right is says "The boot will be disabled if the device with an exclamation mark is." The computer was working fine today, I put in sleep mode and when I opened it back up, this is what is happening. Earlier I had been on a cytrix server and it may have been in the process of disconnecting when I put into sleep mode.

hey gangles that doesnt answer the mans question. his system doesnt boot, but seems to get into bios
I would see if pressing f9 in the bios and resetting the defaults, then f10 and save the changes and exit helps at all. if not, try pressing f11 at startup and see if it will boot to recovery manager and try doing a system restore.

To the above poster: I answered the question based on the subject header
To the original poster:
Ignoring the bios 'issue' what is the error message you get on boot. or does it just loop.
you can access the recovery manager via F11 to do a system restore or a recovery

I can't access with F11. Machine won't boot at all, It continues to go through and flash:
Initializing and establishing link........................
then:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
then it just starts this over.

Or it could be an issue with teh hdd itself, don't rule that out just yet.
Try a hdd test in BIOS diagnostics.
But the issue with the network adapter in boot options is a moot point since you aren't trying to boot from the network.
