I have a desktop computer from work that was a clone PC, only a hard drive, no cd-dvd slot. I've replaced the hard drive for one with more storage and purchased a external DVD rewriter so I can load Windows XP on the hard drive. All I get when I turn the PC on is: PXE-E61: Media test failure,check cable. Then it goes to: Non-system disk or disk error, replace and strike any key when ready. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? There is no OS on this computer yet.
