I recently purchased a laptop with a SATA hard drive. This is the first time I have dealt with this particular issue so here goes:
On startup I receive the following message:
PXE-EG1: Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. At this point, I am assuming that it is referring to a Windows XP disk, which I have. When I insert my XP disk and pressed a key, I receive the notification to press the F6 key, which I did but Setup continues to run until it reaches the end and gives me the following notification:
Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass storage devices installed in your system, or you have chosen to manually specify an adapter. Currently, Setup will load support for the following mass storage devices(s):
<none>
* To specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM drives, or special disk controllers for use with Windows, including those for which you have a device support disk from a mass storage device manufacturer, press S.
* If you do not have any device support disks from a mass storage device manufacturer, or do not want to specify additional mass storage devices for use with Windows, press ENTER.
S=Specify Additional Device ENTER=Continue F3=Exit
When I press S I get the following:
Setup could not find a floppy drive on your machine to load OEM drivers from floppy disk.
* Press ESC to cancel loading OEM drivers
* Press F3 to quit setup.
Pressing ESC brings me back to the Windows Setup screen. At this point I'm rather confused. I have, "I think", what is the drivers disk for my laptop which has: Notebook Driver CD G71-NDW2065-X03 written on it.
Should I go ahead and just install Windows XP then install the notebook drivers or what else should I do?
Thanks
