I've been having trouble with my Dell Inspiron N5110 lately and now can't even boot up Windows. The black screen reads the following:

Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083)

Any assistance you could give me would be much appreciated.

It's trying to boot from a non-existent (or network) drive...

On start up keep tapping either F1, F2, F10,(Be Aware that some manufacturers use F10 for system recovery!) Esc, or Del, to enter the BIOS set-up. Look for "Drive configuration", "Boot order" or similar and make the CD/DVD drive the first boot device and the hard drive second. Save settings and exit.

It looks like it is trying to boot from the ethernet interface, or doesn't recognize the hard drive. Try going to the System Setup and on the Boot order display verify it is set to boot from the hard drive first. Also verify that the hard drive is recognized in the System Setup.
if it recognizes specify the boot sequence
1.Start the computer and press ESC, F1, F2, F8 or F10 during the initial startup screen. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer, a menu may appear.
2. Choose to enter BIOS setup. The BIOS setup utility page appears.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the BOOT tab. System devices appear in order of priority.
4. To give a CD or DVD drive boot sequence priority over the hard drive, move it to the first position in the list.
5. To give a USB device boot sequence priority over the hard drive, do the following:
6. Move the hard drive device to the top of the boot sequence list.
7.Expand the hard drive device to display all hard drives.
8. Move the USB device to the top of the list of hard drives.
9.Save and exit the BIOS setup utility.(by pressing f10)
The computer will restart with the changed settings.
