media test failure, check cable????

[Wheatmaster]

i have an
acer travelmate 525 TE and when i boot up it gives me this: "PXE-E61 media test failure, check cable." i already made the hard drive the first boot item and still no luck. HELP!

it's still trying to boot via network, just plug it into your switch or something. You can also hit esc to skip PXE.

how do i make it so it doesn't boot from network?

Hit delete or F1 at boot and start looking for device boot order. You should probably be able to id it.

It will look something like:

Network
Cdrom
Floppy
IDE 0
IDE 1

Put HD in front of cdrom for boot order (cdrom next to last in order of boot)
