• Equium A210 starts with error - PXE - E61 Media test failure

  Trying to help a friend that we think that the laptop has been damaged by the virus Exploit.Drop.G... All I could think and decided as a last resort to execute tried suggested wipe drive. This succeeded and I thought I'd be able to reinstall Vista from the disc, but I get the above error message. The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A210-1VO (model PSAF5E-001005KS number).

  I noticed once before when using this laptop CD/DVD could not play DVD I tried all tips disassembling upper and lower filters etc, but could not solve this problem (which was pre virus). When I boot on utilities system that she admit HDD like Hitachi-(S1), optical disc drive: TSSTcorpCD/DVGW TS-L632D, and says total memory 2048 MB system BIOS version 1.60.

  Totally stuck now, any advice/help would be much appreciated.

  I think for some reason any HDD is not recognized as a boot device.
  Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot options.
  He put original recovery disk or the ODD Microsoft installation disk when startup options are displayed on the screen.
  Choose the CD/DVD as a boot device and press ENTER.

  What happens when you do this?

  A few days ago, I had a similar question about friends A300. HARD drive was defective. After Exchange of HARD drive, I was able to install Win.

  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.

• Satellite Pro L10: PXE - E61 - Media test failure check cable error message

  I recently bought a laptop L10 without the hard drive, and whenever I try to start it with a hard disk newly installed, I get this message.
  PXE - E61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE CHECK CABLE

  OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND.

  Someone can MAKE SENSE of IT AND ME the EXPLAIN, AND ALSO HOW can I GET the RECOVERY SOFTWARE I don't HAVE THE TOSHIBA RECOVERY CD BUT I don't HAVE THE CoA STICKER ON the laptop.

  IM DESPERATE PLESE HELP

  Hi Nash

  The PXE error occurs because the laptop tries to start first from the local network.
  You must enter the BIOS and change the order on HARD disk or a CD. I recommend that you set the LAN option at the end of the boot order.

  The recovery CD you can buy form the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  The number on the sticker is only an OEM key. You can not use it with a Windows operating system several.

  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

  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!

• Satellite C660D - media failure PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  hope I can help with this problem.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D, which I bought in 2011 and he has recently started to act, whenever I try to pass on it tells me

  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller series V2.38 (24/12/10)
  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable.
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found

  This problem started when I tried to install the new operating system (Win 7 32 bit) on my hard drive of the windows partition, this instillation was a success, and I even managed to create a user profile after installation.

  However, as soon as I logged on to the computer says me he wants to get back out to check my windows and it did it automatically and since then he never restart and tells me that this media test failure error.

  I checked my hard drive if that work by connecting it as external on another computer and its still fine with everything that always there, I deleted and reintroduced it a couple of times, but always the media test failure still occur, I even tried to change the sequence of start several times, including the default settings , but the problem still persists.

  I have two laptops of the same type and both of them give me the same problems, I am running out of ideas on how to fix this problem any help will be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello
  This message means that the system was not found on the HARD drive and the next boot device was LAN. But unit was not able to boot from LAN and so this PXE error appeared.

  You said that the HARD drive is OK. Well, what is the status of the HARD drive in the BIOS?
  HDD is recognized correctly in the BIOS on the first page of the BIOS?

  Where it is, you should try to reinstall the system once more.
  In the case of the disk HARD isn't visible in the BIOS, you must replace it.

  Hi DaCarlo,

  The error messages indicate that laptop you trying to make a network rather than boot from the CD or the HARD drive boot. There is usually a setting in your BIOS where you can indicate that you have a NIC (not PXE) boot. You can check that it is set correctly for NIC (no PXE).

  A NIC Boot starts from the selected list bootable devices that you specified in the BIOS. I'll make sure that you have your specified HARD drive is first in the list, or after after your CD if you prefer to have the CD option automatically available.

  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. If the power were during 20 hours them lights upward by DVD for a short so that at the next startup, but not if the power was turned off for a few minutes.

  Before he died, he showed the blue screen several times with diskerrors in the event log, and I was able to run/CHKDSK without errors a few times.

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

  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

  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?

• Re: Satellite M70-190 begins with PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Toshiba Satellite M70-190

  put a new drive hard WD 500 GB, sata3. When to start Notepad appears.

  Tried to change the mode to boot from LAN SD - nothing.
  How to fix?

  (HHD 2.5 "500 GB WD Scorpio Blue SATA3 5400 RPM 8 MB)

  Satellite M70 is very old model of laptop, so I presume that this HARD drive is not recognized correctly (compatibility issues) and that is the reason why cell phone starts with the start LAN to the search option.

  Long ago I had M70 and right now I've updated with 260 GB if I m remembering well.

  > 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.
