Can't install windows on dell inspiron mini

Hello. I have a Dell inspiron mini 10. when i turn it on i get

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
Operating system not found

I've tried to install xp and vista. for xp it copies all the files, everything looks normal, but when it restarts it doesnt install the xp. it boots straight to the xp disk again. Same with Vista.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you.

 

You are getting this message because you are trying to boot from a network. Does BIOS see the hard drive? If not, reseat the hard drive. If it still does not see the hard drive, the hard drive is dead or you have a hardware problem. If BIOS see the hard drive, set the hard drive as first boot device in BIOS.

Start Dell Diagnostics. If F12 does not work, try 0

 

thanx for the reply tgell. I found the problem. the hdd was disabled. i pressed ctrl+enter and it expanded the options. next to the the hdd was a !. i then pressed shift+1 and it enabled the hdd. it seems like it solved the problem. I'm loading the windows right now. lets hope it was that.
