I have a Toshiba Satellite P30, and a few months ago, my mother dropped the damn thing on the ground... It was from three feet, and it landed flat. Right afterwards, I got a bluescreen advising me that the hard drive had been damaged...
I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba, and I tried to use my recovery disc to recover the OS... When I try to boot from CD, I always get the same message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 (020326)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
Invalid partition table
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I understand that this message is from the driver that controls the boot from network function...
So... I disabled the boot from network function (as well as the boot from external device function)
With those two functions disabled, I get the message "Operating System Not Found."
Any help to clarify this matter would be much appreciated...
