I have an issue that i just dont know how to fix. I was watching a dvd on my labtop when in the middle of the movie my computer froze! I took the disc out and pressed Ctrl, Alt, Del...no new windows pooped up and it was completely frozen. So i turned off my computer by holding down the power button. Pressed the power button again to turn my labtop back on and this is what showed up on the black screen:

"Intel(R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.10
Copyright (C) 1997-2003, Intel Corporation

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

and everytime i press those three keys simultaneously it just brings that same message back up to do the process again. ive done it like 50 times! i left my computer off for awhile and it still repeats the same message. i dont know what it means by "check cable" and there isnt a disk in the labtop to be read.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO I HAVE???!!! what possibly went wrong and how can i fix this? i appreciate your time and patience to read this and help me out in any way you can. Thank you.

Error indicates the BIOS cannot find your hard drive.

What is the exact make and model of the laptop?

Its a toshiba 2003

I was hoping to get Toshiba's recovery options but simply "2003" doesn't relate to any models.

Toshiba Support - Homepage

Is it a Satellite ##### etc. ?

Toshiba Support - Model Selector

Or ... ?

Im sorry for not being more specific, i didnt have my labtop with me at the time. its a Toshiba Satellite A45-S130. I really appreciate your help by the way.
