Hi,

Please help!

I have just formatted a “Toshiba Satellite A30-921” using windows xp cd
Go through the loading process delete old partition and start to install a fresh copy of windows.
Copies all the files to the windows installation folders, gets to 100% and says, computer will re-boot in 15sec,,,
When the laptop reboots, it starts back at the original point for windows setup and starts loading the same files AGAIN!
And I can never get past the formatting stage..
Someone said to remove the win xp cd at the reboot stage but then I just get a black screen and every so often a message:
pxe-61 media test failure check cable
when I put xp cd back in it just starts to load the same files all over again!

I have tried changing the boot sequence but it dosn't make any difference!

Please help as I think im going mad and missing something simple!

Thanks
