I have had this problem for a while now but I am tired of having to put my Windows XP cd-rom into the drive every time I want to start the computer. I know it is not malware because I had help in the malware forum for a Norton issue months after this problem started and my system is clean.

This is what the screen says if I do not put the Windows XP cd-rom into the drive prior to booting up.

Client Mac ADDR: 00 08 74 C1 12 01
Guid: 44454C4C - 5400 - 1059 - 0053 - C8C04F463231
PXE - E53: No Boot Filename Received
PXE M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM.
No Boot Device Detected, Insert System Disk and Press F1 To Continue or Press F2 To Setup Menu.

I insert the disk and it wants me to install Windows XP. I go to setup and that still does not help. The only way to get past having to do this is to already have the disk in the cd-rom drive.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem without taking it in to a professional?
