• 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

  > 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.

• Re: Qosmio F60 / 05 M - PXE - E61 media test failure and hard disk failure

  Hello

  My problem is the computer freezes often and has problems with windows Explorer. Also, it will freeze when in games. I don't know if the issues are related, but after freezing when it starts to reboot, it will come with a black screen reading;

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

If I turn off the laptop by the power button and give it some time before turning on it gives me the option to start windows in safe mode or normal if I choose Safe mode, it does not start. Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test. It gives me no explanation.

  This problem has happened several times in recent weeks.

  The model is:
  Qosmio F60 / 05 M PQF65A-05M02W

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  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.

• Portege M205-S809-PXE-E61 Media Test failure PXE - M0F error

  I replaced (what I thought was) a HD on my Portege M205-S809 failure (I was getting the error "PXE - E61 Media Test failure PXE - M0F").
  I put in the HD and turned on the laptop to get the same error.

  My intention was to reistall the BONES of the recovery Toshiba and DVD Applications/drivers, but I can't. I just keep the error each time that I reboot.

  I checked the BIOS and made sure he does not try to boot from the network (and reset the defaults, just in case). I tried a configured to boot from the CD first, but that didn't work. I rechecked the HD and it seems to be plugged in fine.

  Help! Thank you.

• 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:

  I have absolutely no idea what it means, and I use never no ethernet cable because I have a Wi - Fi connection, but he is relentless. I went through F2 and F12 and all settings are perfectly fine. Order of the BIOS is fine with the HARD disc on top.

  What should I do?

  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.

• 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 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!

• Re: Satellite L850-150 - PXE - E61 media test failure error

  Hey all,.

  Yesterday, while using my laptop normally, my laptop crashed and showed me the blue screen. When I tried to restart, he gave me what PXE - E61 media test failure, followed by the well known text.

  I looked in the BIOS and boot order was right (HDD is first as it should), but to my surprise, the hard drive was no longer recognized on the first page of the BIOS (it says HDD/SSD: None). I already tried to reinsert the HARD drive (loose screw them, removed and inserted back), but it does not solve the problem. In my opinion, it probably means that my HARD drive is defective?

  What would be the best course of action? Is it still possible to fix it? Thanks in advance.

  Somehow the disk HARD is not properly detected.
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.

  Please do so and send feedback.

  Hello

  I agree with danydemaeseneire
  You should first check if the right Boot order (ODD, HDD, etc.) has been in the BIOS. If the LAN is set to the first position, then you must change this!
  To access the BIOS please use the ESC and then F1 keys.

  Another possibility is that the OS does not exist on the HARD disk. In this case, you need to install the operating system.
  Press the C or F12 key immediately after turn computer laptop to boot from the CD.

  Good luck

• Satellite L300-229-PXE-E61: Media test failure

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE MOF: outgoing PXE ROM no boot device, please insert the boot disk and press any key

  I have not received a boot with the portable drive... Can someone give me some advice on what I should do next?

  Kind regards

  Alan

  Hello

  The message appears because the laptop trying to boot from LAN.
  Why?
  The laptop cannot find the boot device
  I think that your HARD drive is dead or the master boot record may be damage.

  To resolve this issue, you must install the system again probably you need to replace the HARD drive first and then you will need to install new windows.

  If you have no recovery disk, see this page:

  Messages PXE always makes me check the boot order in the Bios to you make sure it is correct.  For Windows to load needs to access the hard drive on your machine, this is not the case.  The hard drive must be set before any PXE (Network Boot).  The message of the startup disk not valid because you inserted diskette that does not have a boot disk, then remove the disk from the drive.  Focus on the Boot order in the Bios.

  To enter the Bios (see your computer screen to the power, your manual or the manufacturer's web site) you probably rely on something like the delete key, or one of the F keys at startup time, but the actual key varies from a model.  Many computers call it "Enter Setup", the installation program is just another term for Bios.

  Set your Bios on the default security settings can also solve that for you.

• Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM

  Restart, and then select proper boot service

  or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key

  Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.

• PXE - E61: Media Test failure on Presario V2306US

  Hi all

  I get an error message when I turn on my laptop (PXE - E61: Media Test Failure) on a Presario V2306US. I checked the BIOS and I saw that the hard drive was not being seen, and assumed I had a bad HD.  I bought a new HD and still get the same error loop. However, when I insert the XP CD in the CD player, I can begin to install the operating system and the installer sees the new disk, formats and installs all the configuration files. But when it restarts the installation, I get this error even that the BIOS can't see the drive. I'm puzzled.
  Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  Tom

  All OK:

  I solved the problem for my laptop. I opened the case and took out the CMOS battery and waited a few minutes and put battery back in. (it was my last ditch effort) put the case back together and put the card WIFI and the ram back in and the new hard drive. Boot into the BIOS and set the correct date and checked the boot order and restarted and VOILA!  He sees the hard drive and I installed XP and all is well.

  See you soon... Tom

  > 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.
