I have a Compaq Presario V4000 and have two problems with it and need some advice.
1. Wont boot into windows. It shows the boot screen as if the os is loading but never does load. Then I get a blank screen with the compaq logo and it tells me to press f12 to change boot order. Eventually after a while I get this error about realtek ethernet controller: "PXE-E61 -Media test failure - Check cable. PXE-M0F - Exiting RXE Rom".
2. Tried changeing boot order (which was at ethernet) over to cd drive to boot from windows cd and reinstall but it wont boot from the windows cd, it just carries on trying to load OS as if there was no cd in the drive.
I googled problemk one and a lot of people say that everything works ok after either changing the boot order to hard drive or putting in a new hard drive. I changed the boot order to boot from hard drive but it didnt work. I dont breally want to buy a new hard drive for nothing either.
