Help please? Compaq mini not booting up correctly PXE-E63?

Question

Ok so when i start up my computer i am given 3 options:

f9 change boot device order
f10 BIOS set up options
f12 network boot

it will not let me go by any of these pages.

The only boot up option i get in f9 is network - atheros boot agent

i also get the following message when i enter

And if I choose to start normally I get this:
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet controller v1.0.0.5
Check cable connection!
PXE-E63: Error while initializing the NIC
PXE-M0F: Exiting intel PXE ROM


I dont have a disk drive or anything as this is a netbook, does anyone know what i can do to recover this? how to fix the problem?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Enter BIOS using F10 and on last page reset your configuration to default. Ensure you have no external devices connected to the laptop. Save and exit the BIOS and the laptop should restart normally. If not try F9 again and hopefully there should be more options available. Choose the HDD if available.

Answer 2

correct, i'm no longer prepared on uggs. I do like boots plenty, yet no longer uggs. i do no longer imagine of uggs can look correct with a mini skirt, yet a pair of great black boots can look great with mini skirts. i will placed on boots with a mini skirt and that i somewhat imagine of quite a lot any female can pull off wearing a mini skirt with boots, yet no longer with ugg boots. it somewhat is my truthful opinion!

If your netbook doesn't have a hard drive then you need to put the hard drive back in it. Netbooks won't boot properly without the hard drive installed.
