Operating system Windows XP. Came with Product Recovery Disc which will not install. Runs until I'm asked to select language then get message 'failed to initialize the raid class, no raid' then does nothing until switch off again. Will not start in F8. From start button get flashed Toshiba, enter password, then loads of white writting on black background then PXE-M0F Exiting PFE ROM no bootable device insert boot disc and press any key. Any idea's?

From your description the hard drive has issues, I recommend having it tested for possible replacement.

If the sound you are referring to is a clicking sound, then it is a hard drive failure.
Your
computer is trying to boot up the operating system from the hard drive,
but when it fails to access the hard drive, it tries to boot up from
other devices configured on the BIOS. Apparently, your next choice for
booting the operating system is set to the LAN card. Hence, you get the
message "PXE-E61 Media test failure", which means that the computer
tried to boot up the operating system over the network but it found out
that your network cable is not connected to your computer's network
interface card.

Maybe the cables are not connected, they may be disattached to the hard disk or optical drive. You can try opening the bottom of your laptop, it usually has a hard disk vent, when you unscrew the cover, you'd see the hard disk, and you could connect it. If this doesn't help, the boot manager of the OS might be corrupted, you should insert your setup disk and choose start up repair.

The error PXE-E61: Media test failure usually means the hard diskhas failed or the hard disk needs re-seating or the disk controller is faulty. First - re-seat the harddisk and reboot the computer. If this does not work then reboot and go to theBIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn'tdetect the hard drive then it could be faulty. Next - to determine if thehard drive is faulty, remove the hard drive and insert it into an USB hard drive adapter and connect it to a workingcomputer's USB port. If this computer cannot see itas an external hard drive and you cannot open the various folders and files,this confirms the hard drive is faulty. Then the hard drive needsto be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer orlaptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioningcomputer/laptop again.
