Boot Issue

by moxxie . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Problem: This guy has a Toshiba Satalite A10 Laptop. It was working fine and he clicked on a window which popped up. He thought it was a download for his Apple Ipod. After this his Windows Media Player started getting errors. Then his CD ROM stopped playing. It would open/close but not play. Upon reboot it would not boot.

Upon boot receive error Message:
PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE-M0F Exiting Intell Boot Agent

It then gives the options to boot into safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc. No matter which one you choose it returns the error:

“Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\system32\l_intl.nls

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD ROM.
Select ‘r’ at the first screen to start repair.”

The problem is it will not boot from the CD ROM. I have changed the boot order in the BIOS and such but no boot order works.

The laptop does not have a floppy drive so creating a boot floppy wont work.

Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can repair or reformat this drive?
