That's a boot option for network card. Sounds like you have too many options setup for booting.. :lol:

Edit:

Oops.. You should be able to disable it, can't remember what it's exactly called on the top of my mind. :oops:

Network boot agent that is...

A few questions back at you...

1. Have you only just built this?
2. If you have only just built have you installed windows?
3. If its a already built machine for previous and now its only just displaying these problems. Check and make sure BIOS boot options are correct. If they are you may need to do a chkdsk on your hard drive too see if it is the problem

To me it sounds like you don't have a bootable device online (hard drive, CD, etc) and your computer is trying to boot from its NIC. Somewhere in your BIOS (they're all different) you should have a boot order defined... for me, I prefer network to be the very last boot option (if at all!) and have the optical drive up front followed by the hard drive (after all... who still uses floppies?)

Ok her we go

Step one make sure all external hard disks ( if any ) and pen / thumb drives removed from the machine

Go in to the bios when the machine turns on by tapping either the delete key or if it is a asrock motherboard tap F2

The bios should come up

go to Advance Cmos Settings

Look for Boot Priority

Select CD for first

then hard disk for second

untick or turn of boot from LAN or "Other " it is known


If this fails and there is no floppy in the machine either then your hard disk has either gone kaput or lost its boot track ( which still could be serious )


Also check intnerally of the machine that no cable has come off the hard disk or the motherboard that connects to the hard disk....

I recon your hard disks gone with the angels but with out looking inside, i cant tell
