ThinkPad T60 start presented PXE-05 wrongly on June 03, 2010

　　 Yesterday thinks suddenly network installation operating system, therefore wants to begin to try. What has not thought has actually initiated the dominoes effect, a question initiated other one, other in initiation next. Perhaps is I likes getting to the heart of the matter, although wasted many time most to start the question actually not to solve, but regarding my beginner, this was also some advantage.

　　Network installation first step certainly wants the network card to start the system, finally I calculated that the spot back, has looked for T60 casually, comes across the question. Increased network card start inside BIOS, but inside the start tabulation does not have, very melancholy. Looked up on the bottom wire saying that must look the motherboard or the network card support did not support, after saying 2002 the computer supported basically. Then I also remembered that saw the network card has started, but inside its this does not have. Carefully looked under BIOS, CONFIG—NETWORK—The INTERNAL NETWORK OPTION ROM this option\’s parameter is DISABLE, altered to ENABLE, preserves to withdraw. Thought that then should be good. The result has shot a mistake.

　　Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.2.31

　　PXE-E05: The LAN adapter\’s configuration is corrupted or

　　has not been initialized. The Boot Agent cannot continue.

　　Waits for several seconds later demonstrated

　　ERROR

　　Expansion ROM not initialized – PCI on Motherboard

　　? Bus:00, Device:00, Function:00

　　Press to continue

　　I said that he was all right this network card starts enduring has done, originally had the mistake. The surfer this question generally exists in Zha Gao quite a while.

　　However basically all homepages are some article which copies, it seems like was the authority.

　　And spoke of the reason was the EEPROM content initialization, possible EEPROM to have damaged, needs to repair.

　　The authors said: After the search, had finally found the solution, said on foreigner\’s Blog, may download Intel@Boot Agent PROBOOT.exe, carries out “IBAUtil.exe under pure Dos – DEFCFG” renovates EEPROM for leaving the plant establishes then solves this question.

　　The predecessor planting trees posterity enjoys the cool air, the author was laborious.

　　He also provided one to integrate the Boot Agent PROBOOT.exe procedure dos integration mirror image to be for downloading, what a pity the address expired, moreover only then 3M engraved the plate waste. Therefore has downloaded this procedure to the intel official net and installs on the computer. Now what needs to do is from the dos start system, then moves this procedure, but faces a question like this, is my system district is NTFS, dos is unable to visit, looks up original maxdos to be possible to load the ntfs read-write tool. Tries the feasibility, then cuts the system plate, moves IBAUtil.exe – DEFCFG, actually anything responded that has not restarted automatically, wrong prompt as before. Wants to come is it can only the read-write ntfs above document, actually cannot carry out the above procedure. Therefore the attempt interrogates and investigates these procedures from system the hypothesized plate which to dos, but suffers from the space being insufficient, is temporary.

　　Now has two methods to be possible to try, study foreigner produce a belt AgentBoot procedure the dos startup disk, two have ntfs to transfer the district fat32. . Method two, although a little stupid, but is quite simple, decided that adopts the power of exponent law first. Only knew that fat32 transfers ntfs to be exceptionally simple, ntfs transfers fat32 to apparent must format, the surfer sifts it, originally has to call the Paragon Harddisk Manager software to be possible to realize the safe transformation, tries it, ok.

　　Now the matter became simple, maxdos started, enters to the system plate, moved the ibautil.exe procedure, sprang the prompting message saying that EEPROM renovated as leaving the plant establishes. Restarts the wrong disappearance, may the network card start.

　　Has circled the big bend, now returned to the beginning, network installation the operating system, go on ……
