[Sandeep Ghai]

Hello Members,

I am in a terrible problem and need your help Regarding the same.
Today I tried Installing Window 7 Clearing all my harddisk, but I
found the graphics aren't good, and I found no joy using it.

Later I tried to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04-64 bit.
Installation is all successful,
But Then when I tried to restart my laptop, I Got few errors.
It started showing me the boot menu having options even when I havn't
pressed any function key. then when I tried to click any either
option, I got the following error:



Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997 - 2000 Intel Corporation

For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.2.3(05/18/10)

Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.

My laptop is almost dead, Kindly Help me.

Thank you in advance.

I think the problem is with grub or with the harddisk in which grub resides. This message is shown when system cannot find any boot files or operating system in the harddisk.

But How it could be possible that there is no OS, As the installation
is always successfull.
Moreover Are you sure with your point?
I read the same errors from internet and got to know that May be my
hard disk is crashed.
I am not sure even, But How Can I resolve the issue if the system is
not finding the OS?

Everythings points towards your harddisk as you have just reinstalled Ubuntu!

Hello All,

The Problem is solved.
The error was nothing regarding hard disk (Thank God) But regarding BIOS setup.
My Function Key F2 wasn't working since I brought the laptop ,That I
noticed now (Luckily under warranty Period).
So either mother board needs to replace. I went to service center
yesterday, and they Check the Problem and install new BIOS setup.
They said, if the problem resist, then they will replace motherboard.

Then installed new OS and everything working fine.

Thanks all For your help.. :)
