My dad's laptop won't boot up anymore. It was working fine for a long time running Windows XP. Now when he boots it up he gets this error message:

"Yukon PXE v3.06 (20041109)
(C) Copyright 2003-2004 Marvell (R). All Rights Reserved

Pre-boot eXecution Environment (PXE) v2.1
(C) Copyright 1997-2000 Intel Corporation.
PXE-E61 : Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F : Exiting PXE ROM.
Operating System not found"

The other day we hooked up a WD USB portable HDD to it, and this might be the first re-boot since then, I am not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. I checked the boot priorities in the BIOS and set the "main hard drive" to the top of the list, but that didn't work, and tried setting the BIOS to its default configurations. I also tried to boot XP in safe mode, which didn't work. If you guys have any ideas let me know. Thanks
