Hi,
PXE means it will only boot while connected to the network,
You need to change the bois From network boot to Hard drive boot.
The system doesn't see a hard drive inside,
it thinks it is booting from the network only,
it boots to a server like this.
It is called a dumb terminal

Hi,
usually it's the delete key to get into the bios
Then select boot from hard disk

Hi,
No, there is no such thing as a factory settings disc.
The disc you are wanting would be an operating system disk,
Xp, Vista, or something like this.
You could use your own disc to try to repair the Operating system
Either the recovery disc ot the O/S disc to repair

Hi,
there is a fault in the system, the system is not recognising the hard drive
this is what NTDETECT is, detecting the hard disk to boot.
The disc should boot any system, no matter how it boots network, hdd, or disk drive, once you put the boot disc in, it automatically goes to the disc drive to boot.
This needs more attention than anyone can give over the wire, this needs a PC technician to look at it close up for you.
Richard.
Hi,
No problem
very difficult to diagnose over the wire,
easier when it's in front of you.
All the best to you
Regards
Richard

Thanks all for your responses. I have tried finding the option for that but a still not finding it(esc-ctrl.alt.esc-f1-f12). Any help.
after p ressing F5 and F12 it gets me to Windows Advanced Menu without a Advanced BIOS Features.
I may be in more trouble than I thought. I press DEL. with no change. I figured I may have done alot more damage that originally thought, any idea where I can download the Toshiba factory settings disk? I found a website but doesn't look to trustworthy. Thanks again for your help.
That's just it, I not only have the XP disk but also just bought a Windows Recovery disk from Spotmau.com but I can't get my laptop to read either disk, it just keeps restarting after the NTDETECT message. I did press ESC which took me to the system setup and see a menu called boot priority, just has CDROM-HDD-FDD-LAN. Just tried HDD first with nothing.
Agreed...I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you.
I am not saying this is a solution, only a comment...On some toshiba laptops there are DLL files that get mistaken for a trojan virus.. and if that got deleted that could be related
