    hello good people,
    this dinasour has finally given up on me it seems. turned it off last night and today it wont come back on. i keep getting this message that says: for realtek rtl8139/810x pci fast ethernet controller v2.13(020326)
    pxe-e61: media test failed. check cable
    pxe-m0f: exiting pxe rom.

    intel UNDI pxe-2.0 (build 082)
    copyright (C) 1997-2000) intel corporation.

    it keeps rerunning this same message but wont load up XP. apart from that, i get this loud buzzing noise everytime i turn the laptop back on for about 5 mins then it goes away. what can i do to restart normally? please help

    Should be Esc and then F1 to get the bios on a Toshiba.
