I have an IBM NetVista 6341 B7U. It was supposed to
have Windows 98 installed but when I booted it up no operating system
was found. I assumed the hard drive had been wiped.
After loading Windows XP Home Edition, I got the following error:
PXE53-E53 No bootfile found. The next screen said no operating system
found, F1 to reboot. I thought this meant the PC was trying to
boot from a network server. I looked in setup/config and found no
place to set the boot order! I went to Devices & IO Ports,
Network Setup and disabled Preboot Execution Enviornment Boot
Agent. Now I no longer get the PXE error, it just goes directly
to the 1962 No operating system found screen. I changed it back
to enable Preboot Execution Environment Boot Agent because I was unable
to get internet access using DSL booted from CD when the Preboot
Execution was disabled. The PXE53-E53 error no longer
appears, even though Preboot Execution is now enabled.
I can boot DSL from CD but I can't seem to back up
settings. The system won't recognize USB drives at
all, and won't let me write to a floppy. I'm new to Linux and
assume this is because I don't know how to format a floppy and mount
the drive.
Originally I was going to use this machine to practice setting up a
dual boot environment with Windows/Linux. I need the boot from
the hard drive capability becauseI think my desktop got zapped my
lightening and now it won't power up. I want to swap out the hard
drive and hope it still works.
I know what BIOS is and can't figure out why I can't find the boot
options. I've spent hours and hours googling and haven't found
(or recognized!) a solution.
On the NetVista S40 you can get to the boot order thru the BIOS menu (press F1 at power-on).
In the BIOS menu select Start Options (hit Enter), the next menu has Startup Sequence selected, hit Enter. You should now see the boot order change page.
The NetVista 6341 BIOS should be similar to the NetVista S40.
Hope this helps.
Install Windows XP and then Ubuntu
Any Linux Using GRUB (preferably) Or LILO will automatically fix all "No Operating System found etc. Problems"

On boot up I get the error message in dos "1962: No operating sytem found"
I'm working with windows xp professional. It comes up if I go into the bios and do nothing first and sometimes it goes back to 1962:no operating system found on start up. I don't know but I suspect the hard drive may be failing. I will replace it and see.
