My PC is a Dell E6420 Latitude
The HDD crashed,so I bought a brand new one.Also bought a new copy of Win 7 professional.
I switched out HDD, turned on my laptop and saw this:
Intel boot agent GE v1.3.72
Initializing and establishing link
PXE-E61 ; Media test failure check cable
PXE-M0F;Exiting Intel boot agent
No Boot Device Found. Press any key to reboot the machine.
So I restarted,pressed F12, went to BIOS and selected cd/dvd drive to run first so I could install win 7 on the new HDD ,and I see this
No Boot Device Found.Press any key to reboot the machine.
I've installed OS on desktops before,but not a laptop.
I'm assuming that since both HDD and OS cd are brand new that the fault lies with me.
Thanks in advance.
