Laptop will not boot

[karpas]

I have a COMPAQ PRESARIO 2100 running WindowsXP
for some time now it takes a long time for it to boot (1 to 2 hours). When I turn it on the following appears:
Argon PXE Boot Agent V2.01
Client MAC ADDR:00 0B CD 54 46 DF DHCP ....X (<--being loaded)
GUID:80A88EE5-A620D611-B6E7-000BCD5446DF
No boot file name received

After several minutes it reboots itself and this goes on several times

I have looked at the setup but could not figure out what happens, I tried using the defaults
but the same happens.
PLEASE HELP

Look in the BIOS for Bootup Sequence...Currently it looking for a Network boot device first...

I could not figure out what to do. Tried using BIOS default values and did not help.
In the BIOS setup the Internal Hard Disk Drive showed [None} but I could not change it.
What do I do?

I think your HDD is dead. That is why it passed the HDD in the boot order and tried to boot off of the network instead.


The HDD needs to be replaced.

I will try to check the memory module
Thanks

The memory modules are fine.


Your hard drive is a goner.
