• Tecra A11 - 17 C - impossible to boot from LAN

  Hello

  For the last few days I worked on a Toshiba Tecra A11 - 17 c PTSE0E - 02W01GEN.

  I work in a school and we have about 15 of these laptops. I was not the person who did the origonal installation and this person has not left.

  One of the computers needed a re - build. We use an installation of LAN to windows 7 so I put prioraty device that the network card, save it and re - start.

  Then, sometimes with the error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable.
  Now, I know the NIC works fine beuse it worked before I did any messing around.

  I then checked the other laptop and I get the same error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable and they all fully functional network ports.

  So I thought ok there is something in the BIOS.
  I found nothing apart an Enable lan option that is enabled.

  It was suggested to relax the default BIOS and then format the hard drive.
  So I thought ok well first I'll try it with the BIOS reset if that does not work, I'll do a format.

  So after that it does not work I thought Okay I'll just clone your laptop work with clonezilla.

  Do I get to the windows flag then instantly the blue screen of death, I can't read it so I is much too fast.

  I thought ok I swap hard drives with the work there. The boots work the clone hard drive just fine without error at all, but the work PC hard drive load the windows flag then blue screen of death.

  I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

  I finally intertwined a hardrive work 1 different working laptop and a same new blue screen of death in wondows flag.

  It seems to me there must be something on the bios that is
  (A) stop the network port in the bios
  (B) stopping the different hard drives to work in the laptop, even if it's exactly the same laptop.

  They built from the network before for the wondows current installation works, but I have no idea what to do now.

  The error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable means that the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN, but the configuration of the installation could not proceed.
  Why?
  I m not very well why, but probably there is something wrong with the PXE server settings, etc.

  Are you sure that PXE server has been correctly configured to 100%?
  If this is not the case, check this box.

  > I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

  Always is Win XP installation could be completed, and this means that the HARD drive should be ok.
  The BSOD could be due to incompatible software or wrong / driver that is part of the recovery disk

  Are you sure that the Win XP Recovery disk you used was the right one?

  How about installation using charge Windows 7 system using the disk of Microsoft?

• Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

  Hello
  I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

  I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Concerning
  Norbert Ruessmann

  Hello

  A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

  I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

  Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

• Tecra M5 cannot enter the BIOS to change the setting too boot from cd first

  Tecra M5 cannot enter the BIOS to change the setting too boot from cd first

  I bought on ebay and the seller sold me a dubious version of xp so I want to format and install my own at the start he said:

  The Intel Boot Agent GE v1.2.31 initialization
  KE - E05: the LAN adapter's configuration is corrupted or has not been initialized. Boot agent cannot continue

  Hello

  The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

  If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

  A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

  Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

• Not possible to boot from the CD after installing Win XP on Tecra A3

  Hi all

  I can't boot from the CD more? I tried following things:
  -J' used several CDs to boot from, such as Windows XP, other CD CD WinXP or UBCD (ultimate Boot CD) and others to boot from.
  -J' chose in the start menu and the Bios first, the CD player must be started from.
  -Disabled the HARD, the LAN and the FDD drive so that only the CD must be started from, nothing else.
  -Press F12 after start-up und selected CD to boot from.
  -removed the battery
  -removed the disk drive HARD that the CD is only peripheral to start.
  -No available recovery disk.
  * Result: Always at top left corner a cursor flashing on a black ecran.*

  My story to this problem/question.
  -J' reinstalled Windows XP after the system became slow, with SP2 and SP3.
  -During the installation of SP3 and at the same time other pilot the system crashed.
  -Pressing F8 after starting, I can choose the Options to win.
  -System running days, several days without any reaction.
  -Sometimes, it goes into "secure mode" and freezes, no entry or possible reaction.

  I want to install Windows XP again from the CD and a clean version to work on.
  That means no two were leaving to work on alone.

  Can someone tell me why the CD player is with any media ignored inside and no departure from them is possible?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello Stefen

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD disk drive. It is not supported in the BIOS.

  I'm not sure of the USB but I saw a short period in the electronic store that memory USB sticks with description Bootable. I have one and I can't give you a good answer to your question.

  Good luck!

  Hello

  does anyone know if the tercra A9 can boot from USB?

  Thank you.

  Have you checked the BIOS options?

  As far as I know, you can start only from HDD main, ODD, network (LAN), CARD SD or USB FDD (diskette).

  I think you want to start one Windows OS, Linux, the other from a USB key. Am I wrong?

• Tecra M3 PTM30A will not boot from the cd to reinstall windows

  Hi all

  Totally new here and I have a question. I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died.
  I set the bios to boot from the cd. He reads the Windows XP cd for a minute then jump to trying to boot on the network adapter.

  Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?
  If it can boot from a normal cd is the stuffed ROM or am I missing something?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

  Hello

  > I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died

  Your new hard drive is recognized by the Bios?

  > Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?

  You can use a recovery (if available) disk or Windows disk copy. In the Bios, you must set the Cd/DVD-ROM as 1st boot device and press F10 save and exit. Turn it back on. Thus, your computer you should start the installation of the Cd drive.
