  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.

  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 Pro A210 - strange start up error - PXE - E61 Media Test failure check

  Here's a weird scenario.

  HARD drive has failed. Fortunately, do regular backups, then restored on a new HARD drive.

  New HARD drive is securely fixed to the A210. Power on, HDD recognised by the BIOS and proceeds to start, get the following error:
  For the Fast Ethernet Realtek RTL8100E-8101E network adapter Version 1.02
  PXE - E61 Media Test failure check cable
  PXE - MOF from the PXE ROM

  A210 will BE boot from USB or DVD.

  Tried various things, internet research, found a lot of mistakes same or similar, air conditioned and have a no good result.

  I have a Paragon boot, booted disk in it. One of the options is to find some operating systems on hard disks. Try to find BONES. If you want to start in it, accept and Win 7 loads!

  So, why the A210 will not load the OS? It recognizes the HARD drive, and another medium may start in the operating system.

  Looking forward to your answers!

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the OS on this HARD drive rather than install the backup?
  There may be something wrong with the backup you just

  Generally, this error because the BIOS cannot boot from the HARD drive and passes to the LAN.

  If the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS then it must be something wrong with the operating system on the HARD drive.

  Recommend the fresh OS install and check it once more..,.

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

  Hello.

  I have a huge problem:
  I was formatting my brothers laptop computer. Everything seems to work properly, he had begun to formate, but then I got a message to set disc 2.
  I put in and got a massage of error on the disc.
  So now all I get when I start the computer it's a massage says:

  For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8130/ 810 X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 (020326)
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Invaild partition table

  And noting seem to work at all.

  All I can do to fix this?

  Hello

  Seems the laptop does not recognize the attached HARD disk and it tires for a start of LAN.
  But the LAN initialization failed and so this error message is displayed.

  The partition table invalid error message means that something is wrong with your HARD drive partitions n.
  I think you should try to boot from the CD of Win XP and need to format the disk HARD whole again.
  Delete all partitions, everything! Format it again and try to reinstall the operating system.

  Press f12 for the boot menu, the screen says,

  PXE - e61 media test failure - check the cable.

  > 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.

• Satellite C660 - 10 d Operating System not found PXE - E61: Media test failure

  I have a Satellite C660 - 10 d, which is part of the 1 year warranty which has suddenly decided it won't start and makes a strange noise that sounds mechanical.

  I tried the options F2 & F11 at startup, but I always return to the same messages some options I try:

  Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller v1.23 (28/07/10)
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found.

  I can't go beyond that and get the laptop doesn't work, which leads to my second problem.

  It is under warranty so I thought I would sign in for repair. The serial number is recognized in the section Product Support My. But when I try to enter in the repair section, it is said

  ERROR: serial not valid number.
  Please check and try again.
  Then gives a number to call which only works weekdays.

  So, I have what appears to be a broken laptop that I can currently connect to repair.
  If you are able to help with one of these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm quite sure that the problem is related to the defective HARD drive.
  This would also explain the mechanical noise when starting.

  PXE - E61: Media test failure appears as the laptop attempts to boot from LAN.
  Why? Because the disk HARD could not be found and the CD/DVD drive does not contain a startup disk.

  So the BIOS switched to LAN

  This is why replacement of HARD drive should help you with this problem.
  If the warranty is valid, get in touch with a local ASP in your country. Maybe you could get a HARD disk which could be replaced easily

  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.

  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:

• Satellite C660D-124 - PXE - E61 media test failure

  Hi all

  This is my first post on your forum.
  I know a little bit to move the laptop.
  I have a Satellite C660D-124
  I was playing music when he decided to stop and I got this error message.
  PXE - E61 media test failure.

  what I've done so far;

  (1) battery removed, removed HDD.
  replace drive HARD and battery. no change in error.

  (2) joined in setting up F2, noticed the HDD\SDD says NOT PRESENT.
  Scrolls to the start menu that looks like this...
  HARD DRIVE
  CD/DVD
  FLOPPY DRIVE
  LAN
  down the HARD drive and back up and saved on exit without change by mistake

  (3) when I go peripheral to the F12 boot boot, the boot menu reads as follows;
  CD/DVD - HL - DT - ST DVDRAM GT 30N
  REALTEK LAN PXE B03 DOO

  There is no DISC in the start menu, is there?

  I would have appreciated your advice and your expertise on this matter and I hope that my h/dd is not dead
  see you soon

  Hello

  Your HARD drive is defective and must be replaced.
  I m sure about it because the HARD disk does not appear in the BIOS. But it should.

  Replace the HARD drive, reinstall the system and the laptop would go again :)

• HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the new motherboard more PXE - E61: Media test failure, check

  I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

  However, I have several problems:

  1. The BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the motherboard during the boot process and sends a message to the effect. I hit the ENTER button start continues.

  I tried to access the BIOS to enter the serial number or other possible solutions, I found online. Help forum a HP had a BIOS software tool for editing of Compaq in 2000 but said it would only be on the desktop and HP staff will provide a BIOS for my laptop.

  2. I get two error messages that

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

  • PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

  I didn't know all the patches for this issue, but it only delays the process of starting shortly before it continues.

  Finally, the computer starts Windows, but other problems.

  mhscholder,

  There isn't any publicly available method to update information in the BIOS.  HP only authorized service providers can update the MB after installation.  You will get this message during boot every time.  You also won't be able to run a recovery since the recovery media is looking for this information.

  The PXE errors generally occur during the initialization of the network is listed in the boot order before the hard drive.

  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.

• 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)

  Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.1 (build 082)

  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
