I didn't have any tools with me to open it up and check the cable to the HHD. I did put his operating system disk in the CD and the XP install program loaded. I did not run the restore or the install program at that time, I just F3'd out of the install. Any ideas?? shadow_man shadow_man, Dec 12, 2003 #1 Blakhart Banned Joined: Feb 5, 2002 Messages: 2,768 Location: in harms way PXE is for network booting, the cable it refers to is the network cable.

I got into the BIOS, it shows a Maxtor Athena HHD, then went to the boot section and diabled the PXE as the first boot device.
