• Portege R200 - PXE - E61: media test failure - insert system disk

  My Portege R200 PPR21E-00K00QEN computer means the usual stuff of toshiba: IE

  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - MOF outgoing PXE ROM

  Insert system disk in drive

  Now my model isn't a hard drive and I bought second hand, so I have no recovery disks.
  I checked the HARD drive and its seems connected properly.

  Would I need to buy an external drive and try a system disk or is there anything else I could try.

  Any suggestions or advice?

  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Why?
  Because it could not start the HARD drive, or another source like CD/DVD drive.
  Usually this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

  So how to fix?

  I think first of all you will need to replace the HARD drive.

  Since the Portégé R200 doesn't support CD/DVD drive, you must install the system using bootable flash USB stick memory or you would need to buy an external CD-ROM USB drive that would be compatible with protégé R200

  Hi mick,.

  > Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test.
  It would be also my staff believes that something is wrong with the HARD drive itself, I mean if the computer attempts to boot the HARD internal access and Windows boot disk, but if the computer can't find the HARD internal disk, it tries to boot from LAN

  According to me, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys should check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.
  In addition to backup all your data if you didn t it yet. Therefore, you can use an external USB HDD.

• Re: Satellite L350: media test failure - no bootable device insert boot disk

  I just started a new Sat L350 upward and I can not go beyond the second page that says; Media test failure and no boot device, insert the boot disk and press any key.

  I have no disc and I'm stuck,

  Help!

  Hello

  This error message appears because the BIOS didn't not find a bootable device containing an operating system.

  What of the HARD drive? Is it recognized by the BIOS?
  Check in the BIOS settings; Press ESC and F1 to access the BIOS.
  There, you should check if the HARD drive (all details of the HARD drive should appear) is recognized.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your HARD drive is dead and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a malfunction of the HARD drive and so the BIOS can not find a bootable device and goes to the last possible bootable option which is LAN.

  The exclamation mark in front of the HARD drive indicates that there is a problem with the HARD drive so I think you need to replace the HARD drive and you need to reinstall the system.

  PS: What laptop do you have exactly?

• Satellite L300 - PXE - E61 media test failure

  Today, while browsing the Internet, my laptop decided to randomly cut to a screen with this error message:

  What should I do?
  Best regards

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have tested the HARD drive in a box of another and external HARD drive laptop without success the case is clear: the HARD drive needs to be replaced because it s defective!

  I can understand that you want to recover your data, but what do you do if you are not able to access? In this case you need assistance, a special data recovery lab, but it is not cheap and costs hundreds of dollars.

  I m wondering that you don't have a backup. Have you never tried to do it or thought it would be useful?

  Last but not least a new HARD drive can be ordered at a service provider authorized in your country or each computer store. Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.

• Portege Z30 - A - PXE Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello everyone,
  Here's my problem: two days ago my Toshiba Portege Z30 - A turns off suddenly, and when it has reactivated the instead of displaying the usual Windows Home page at he showed a black screen with these lines written:

  'Intel(r) Boot Agent GE v1.5.43

  Insert system disk in drive.

  And every time I turn it on it displays this screen again.
  Why is it like that? What should I do?

  Thank you very much
  Stefano

  It seems that the system does not recognize your ssd more. Usually, the hard/SSD is the first bootdevice and whether it is empty or does not exist, it will jump to usb or networkboot. PXE = networkboot

  Try to start with a live-stick and the check if you can access your SSD. Also see, if the bios/efi does not recognize the drive.

  Worse: all your data is lost... (I hope you have a backup)
  the positive: this question must be covered by the guarantee! If you are still in the first year and registered for the guarantee of reliability, you get your laptop repaired and all your money. xD

• Qosmio F750 - Media test failure

  Hello

  I have the laptop Qosmio F750 I bought about 2 years ago. I have a problem when the page Realtek PCIe GBE family controller series xv2.37 (20/10/10)
  PXE - E61: media test failure, please check the cable.

  At first I just turn off my phone and turn it back on again, and the page would leave. But now after 10 times, the page is still there. I tried pressing 0, while the laptop is running to reinstall windows. But the page just kept appearing every time than restarting the laptop. Now I've really frustrated m.

  Do you know any suggestions? And by chance, where is the nearest service centre maroubra Toshiba?
  Thank you, appreciate it

  I think somehow HDD is troublemaker of disorders and not recognized as a boot device.
  Did you create the recovery disk? If Yes use this disc to check if the HARD drive is accessible or not.

  I can't say for sure but I m afraid you need new HARD drive.

  PXE - e61 media test failure - check the cable.
  PXE - m0f too; output

  > pxe - e61 media test failure - check the cable.
  > pxe - m0f; output
  > pxe rom, system of operation not found.
  > can someone please explain what this means

  Hello

  The PXE error in most cases because the laptop can not boot from a CD-DVD or HARD disk drive and going to the LAN.

  There's maybe one losing a contact between the HARD drive and controller HARD drive.

  Select this check box. Open the HARD drive Bay and check if the HARD drive is properly connected.

  If the HARD drive would not be recognized even if the connection is OK, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective and must be replaced.

• PXE - E61 MEDIA TEST FAILURE

  Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong category, but my notebook beloved seems to be his death.

  He had a minor fall while it was closed and when I turned back on it I could hear an in clicking on its pretty near the hardrive. He kept clicking.

  When the screen finally came on I had a black screen with the message in the sense of «series» Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller V2.38 (24/12/10)

  Restart, and then select the appropriate boot device
  or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key.
  Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.1 (build083)

  Im not an expert, but I assume that something broke when I dropped it.
  That is why the rattling and the "check cable" bit.

  I rely on my work laptop please suggestions, or if anyone knows what I have to do to make it work again, I would be very grateful.

  This message appears if the laptop cannot find the boot device and finally tilt the option to boot from LAN.

  It seems that HARD drive failures and so the laptop will not start HARD drive system.
  In this case the HARD disk needs to be replaced and the system must be installed again.

  By the way: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• Satellite A210-1AS-PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I had some problems with my A210 overheating a stop (even tried extra cooling), but since the last stop, I am now unable to boot, I get the following...

  for fast ethernet Realtek RTL8100E/8101E network adapter v1.02 (060529)

  I assumed that the HARD drive is dead, although I don't want to get another, only to find it's something else like a bad cable... I removed the HARD drive and given the link suddenly.

  If someone could advise me before I go and buy another HARD drive, I would be grateful.

  ... also, if I don't change the HARD drive, my Vista recovery disc would work with the new drive or do I need a new copy of Vista?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, it's a typical message when the laptop cannot boot from the HARD drive and switches to the local network.
  I think that your HARD drive is not present may be dead
  You can check the BIOS if the HARD disk is which are listed there.

  If the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS, then I would recommend this replacement.
  As far as I know it takes 2.5 HDD SATA

• Portege Z830, PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I have a problem on my Toshiba Portege Z830. After that I turn to the top of the computer, windows attempts even to start, instead, I saw the following message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press any key when ready...

  From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

  I did that in the BIOS boot order is reasonable. It is:
  1 HDD / SSD
  2. USB memory
  3. USB WEIRD
  4. DISKETTE DRIVE
  5 LAN
  I also tried to load the defaults in the BIOS, just in case.

  I also tried to re - install Windows 7 and Ubuntu installation, USB. In both cases, Installer was not able to discover any drive where system could have been installed.

  That seemed to me like a problem of material with SSD. And it's actually the second time I'll have it with this laptop. I got it about 4 months ago and at that time I sent my laptop certified Toshiba service in Zuerich. They sent it back, saying that the material was OK and he must have had a software problem.

  To my surprise, after that they sent back for some portable reason indeed started working, I have not yet lost all data (didn't need to reinstall the system, everything worked).
  I was happy, but since now the same thing happen again, I don't know what I have to do.

  Whether any other SSD that hardware problem? If Yes, what else can I try?

  If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service?

  Thank you
  Alan

  > From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

  It's OK; the message appears if no other boot device could be found.

  _Question: _
  SSD or HDD disk appears on the first page of the BIOS (size of the SSD drive and the name should be visible)?
  In case the SSD drive isn't in the list, there must be a problem with this device and I guess you have to replace it.

  > If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service

  You simply ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
  I guess guys will try to recover the laptop and where this is not possible, they would replace the faulty device.

• Satellite A205-replaced drive HARD and recovery CD does not. Media test failure

  Help, please

  My wife's computer crashed, everything has begun with damaged or missing file windows\system32\en. He takes to the geek squad and diagnostic test says corrupted hard disk.
  (Trying to recover the data is another problem to solve later)

  To save money, I ordered a new HDD (WD320GB) installed the new HARD drive, inserted the recovery disc and get the following message:

  Pre-seed execution Environment (PXE) v2.1
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found

  I see the new HARD drive in the BIOS, I changed the boot order to boot with CD/DVD player but still the message above.

  What now?
  Thanks for any help I can get.

  Hello

  Can start you on another disk, mate?

  Normally, this message appears if you can boot from the HARD drive or a disk bootable t. In your case, you need to install the OS on CD/DVD first so I think the recovery disc's maybe scratchy or the reader doesn t work properly.

  Then, try another disc and see what happens. :)

• Satellite A30 - PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I got a Satellite A30-064 as gift. The guy who gave it to me, said its broken. I checked the forum startup error message:

  + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE - M0F: exit PXE ROM +

  I can boot in the BIOS, change the HARD drive. The two old or new are properly recognized in the BIOS. Boot order is correct (not LAN).

  I have to give it to the recycling station? I don't not want to was wrong, it seems to me the error which is left is on the motherboard. Would this be a machine "Oops, I spilled my coffee on the keyboard?

  Has anyone managed to get rid of a similar problem?

  Usually this error message appears because the laptop tries to start from LAN because she doesn t recognize other bootable devices like ODD or HARD disk.

  Usually if the HARD drive would be recognized then this message PXE - E61 appears.

  What happens if you insert a bootable CD and press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?
  The C button should allow booting from ODD.

  Please check this!
