Try hitting f12 during reboot as soon as you see the Toshiba screen appear. More information about restoring to a factory without the installation disk on page 64:

When the computer is booting up, there is a brief moment where it says "press F2 or DEL to load setup or BIOS". If you go into the BIOS there is an option to set the boot order. You need to set the hard drive (HDD) to be the first boot device. If a computer attempts to boot from the network then this PXE boot error occurs.
Same problem here. Did what Kieferschild said to do, and HDD is listed as 1st device . Still getting error. Now what? ! Now what?

If thats the case then the likely hood is that your HDD is faulty and it's skipping it because it does not see one.
maybe you could try ensuring all connections to/from the HDD/motherboard are firmly in.

Janine,
the message you're displaying is telling you that your computer is trying to boot to a network device. Typically this is used in a business environment when an administrator is trying to roll out an image across multiple computers. Also known as pixie boot (PXE).
Can you computer boot into windows at all?
if you, if you go into My Computer do you have a separate partition (to C:) called RECOVERY?
Can you go to Start > All Programs > and find toshiba recovery software here?
when you got the laptop it will have come with instructions for recovery.
Start here: http://support.toshiba.com/
put in your model of your laptop and go to the manual/documents page where it will tell you how to recover.

I have 2 toshiba lap tops down same symtoms. All the reading I have been doing these last few days, really seems like Toshiba is a piece of garbage. I wonder how to go about a civil suit against this company for the garbage they sell. My one toshiba was only 6 mos old.

If your Toshiba is only 6 months old then it is under manufacturers warranty.
