[SOLVED] Puppy will not boot from HD

[MASONTX]

I am a newbie who has installed Puppy 5.0 (not dual boot) on a Toshiba laptop (P3 500, 392 mb ram, 6 gb HD). Puppy runs great as long as I boot up with CD in drive, but will not boot from HD only. Error msg :

PXE-E61 test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF exiting landesk service agent II

invalid system disk
replace disk and press any key

Did not see similar problem in other posts, so assume I installed wrong.

Thanks for any help.

PS - I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop (not dual boot) and it runs great, no issues.

I read that using gparted to change file extensions to ext2 would help, so changed them and am now doing a reinstall to sda1.

Changing the file ext worked, system starting without cd in drive now.

That's good news. I always had trouble with Puppy on a hdd but never with it on a CD.
