• 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

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press any key when ready... »

  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

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

  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

• 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.

  Hello

  The HARD drive has been properly recognized in the BIOS?

• 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.

• Portege R100, PXE - boot problem - E61:Media Test failure, check cable

  My portege r100 4004GAH original hard drive has had some problems recently, so I decided to replace it with a bigger 4006GAH. Specifications, it seemed that it would be appropriate.

  So I tried to install standard windows top. Unfortunately as I soon discovered that didn't work and lead to BSOD. I looked online and remembered that I had in fact to use the recovery of three discs. Fortunately for me I still had the freshly sealed and I've also owned a combined remarkable Targus CD drive supported. If in the three discs are gone. All seemed well and after that the last drive ended, I was asked to remove the disc. The laptop has rebooted and then gave me the

  PXE - E61:Media Test failure, check cable
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
  Insert system disk
  Press a key to continue...

  I thought it might be in the order of start, but verified that and it seemed right. HD was first. I also changed the order and the same error came.
  I thought while another component of my laptop may be broken. So I put my old hard drive in. It started fine.
  The next thought that the new hard drive was defective.

  Fortunately, this is not the case. Because when I used the recovery disks not only heard disk hard turns to the top, but the hard drives were detected and recovery installation displays the correct memory size.

  I'm completely stumped on hat w what is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  It is not easy to say what the problem is but you said the Portege started fine with the old HDD. So I think that there is something wrong with the new.

  In your case I test the HARD drive with a special tool like Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  In addition I am interested in what you have the same problem with a Microsoft installation disc if you have one.
  So try if your HARD disk has no errors.

  I have nothing in the disk drive and I don't have a recovery disk.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thanx

  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?

  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.

  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.

  Press f12 for the boot menu, the screen says,

  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)
  PXE - E61 Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
  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

  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

  This occurs even if the disc is removed and seq. boot is changed so it should search the CD/DVD and even though the power and the battery has been disconnected for 15 minutes.

  Please advice how to reset the Fast Ethernet controller, not sure that a HDD defective only can cause the fault of I m.

  Thnx in advance

  Hello

  I think that this is related to failure of HARD drive or lack of OS on the HARD drive.
  Is this message PXE ONLY appears if the portable computer is trying to boot from LAN.

  Means either the LAN was chosen in the BIOS as first boot device or operating system is not found on the HARD drive and so the BIOS automatically goes to the local network.

  So I recommend this audit in the worst case you will need to check if the new HARD drive would solve this
