Hi, I recently installed a second internal harddrive (Seagate 1 TB SATA) to act as a mirror backup for my primary on my Emachines desktop; actually my more comp savvy friend helped me but unfortunately he moved away shortly after. Now, at startup I receive this message on the boot screen:

For Realtek RTL8139(X)181301 810X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13

Client Mac Address: ............. GUID FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFff

PXE-E53: No Boot Filename Received

PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM. Invalid Partition Table


I have read other forum threads on this site and others about similar problems but none seem to match my specific situation, I also could not completely comprehend what the resolution consisted of. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you've got it set to boot from network not from the hard drive.
Make sure you look in bios and select primary boot device as hdd, and then if not in same section(there may be sub section) ensure your original drive is set as the first in the boot order.

P.S.You normally enter bios using the del key at boot up before you enter windows!
