I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Win XP Machine. After completing the installation and rebooting, I get a "Client Mac Addr:" Error and then a PXE-E53: No boot filename received error.
I designated Ubuntu to install to a separate drive which happens to be the exact same make, model and size as my Win XP drive (I had this setup in RAID back in the day). Both drives are SATA and my BIOS does not allow me to select one or the other to boot from, just Hard Drive in general.
I was requested by another member to run the Boot Info Script from my Live CD Desktop and paste the contents of the "Results.txt" here for review.
Ultimately I am hoping to receive a menu of sorts when turning on my PC that will allow me to choose to boot Win XP or Ubuntu.
Thanks for everyone's help on this.
