Hey everyone, I really need someones help and will be eternally in debt to whoever helps me. I am the owner of a Compaq Evo D500 with 1.8 ghz processor with 400 mhz fsb. Recently I purchased a new 2.8 ghz also 400 mhz fsb. When I installed there was a 1801 microcode error, and so I needed to upgrade my bios from 2.11 to 3.04 using the upgrade I got from HP's website. Now when I start the computer here is what is displayed. Initializing intel(r) boot agent version 4.1.08 PXE 2.1 Build 083 (wfm 2.0), RPL V2.74 **** Then I press F1 to boot*** ... and it says PXE-E61 Media test failure, Check cable PXE-M0F Exiting Intel Boot Agent Non-System disk or disk error Replace and strike any key when ready Unfortunately I don't have a disk in the floppy drive. And when I go to system preferences the bios isn't even recognizing my hard disk or my floppy. So when I try to flash the bios with a floppy nothing happens. At this point I'll try anything. Can anyone give me any suggestions? greatly appreciated. Charlie.
