Hello everyone, first time caller here. :lol:
Anyway I made the mistake of purchasing an inexpensive Acer Aspire 4720Z awhile back.
Now the thing will no longer boot.
I have tried reading some of the other threads here but none seem to have my exact problem.
I went ahead and paid Acer for the recovery disk and system disk but they will not boot either.
I also went ahead and downloaded the ultimate boot CD just in case I need anything on there.
Now here is my problem.
If I let the laptop boot to windows normally I get a BSOD.
Alt + F10 does nothing.
F12 will let me boot from the system CD but I get a "Type Mismatch" error every time after it asks for the recovery CD.
On normal boot up I always get the following errors:
PXE-E61 Media Test Failure
PXE-M0F Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM
I can get to the recovery options screen but none of the options help.
They are in order (Startup Repair, System Restore, Windows complete pc restore, windows memory diagnostic tool, and command prompt)
I hope I have given enough detail to help.
I have also already changed in the BIOS the D2D setting to enabled and the boot from CD first.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
