pxe-e61: media test failure.check cable
pxe-M0f: existing intel PXE ROM.
Operating system not found
========================
I tried to boot up with wondows 200 floppy but no use after loading all the 4 floppyies blue screen comes.
i also tried IBM recovey diskette but it says it repaired the MBR successfully but again teh same problem.
what i did before this problem came up is i started windows in safe mode and ran symantec antivirus and Vcom fix-it utilities.
After closing the antivirus i got blue screen with some error message.
Then i restarted which triggered the chkdsk which i allowed .i saw that the chkdsk was at 0 not at all moving forward so i closed and again restarted . this time i saw the message above .
so i closed again and tried to restart again . this time it came up but stopped at chkdsk again.
I restarted again and from then i am not able to move any forward.
not even i am getting F11 or f8 (for safe mode).
Please try to help me.
i just lost my warranty this may 2005.

R31 help needed
The hard drive is easy to change out. Any 2.5" laptop drive (not SATA) should work. You could post R-series questions on the ThinkPad R, A, G, T2X, T30 Series forum for more specific information. Note however that double-posting is not allowed here.
