It's an Aspire 7540-1317 laptop , and it belongs to my daughter . They got it in a storage bay auction , and it apparently was used as a terminal - no OS . I had to initialize the hdd , but it won't access the BIOS/setup screen .
It pops up an error screen as follows :
Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 v11.4.1 followed by a copyright etc
then :
Base Code PXE 2.1 v1.1.0
PXE E61 media test failure check cable
PXE-MOF exiting broadcomPXE ROM
OS not found
I want to install a copy of Win7 Pro 64 bit so my 2 youngest grand daughters can use it for their school work , any help will be appreciated .
BTW , they also got in that auction a Netgear ProSafe 8 port gigabit network switch model GS108 and a uverse WAP model VEN501-AT which both followed me home . They had no use for these ... and I'm thinking the switch will work for my home network wiring , the WAP will be used to enhance the wireless link to my shop . Also included in today's haul was a 12V/3 amp power supply that will replace the burned out original supply for my buried wire dog containment fence system . SCORE !
