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.

    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:

    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).

    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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L300 - PXE - E61 media test failure

    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.

    Hello Shoah

    You did what I would recommend.
    I remember what one of my friends has had a similar problem on an A200. But after the BIOS reset by default, he was able to install the OS from the recovery CD.

    The whole is very mysterious. It looks like a HARD disk failure, but the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS. But have you checked the HARD disk in other laptop or computer?
    You can try to connect the HARD disk via the external USB HDD controller and could check if it s ok and could format.

    I recommend also to remove the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive, then set the BIOS to default settings immediately (don't forget to save changes). Then try to power upward without the HARD disc and the drive.
    To my knowledge, you should get an error message.
    Then stop the laptop and put both the device in Notepad. Then go to BIOS and check if both devices are properly recognized.

    Finally, I must say that I don't know if my proposal will help m.
    If she won't help, you will need to contact an ASP in your country, because it really looks like a serious problem.

    Good luck

  • 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..,.

    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.

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E cannot start properly - PXE - E61: Media Test Failure

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    I decided to use the recovery cd to format my laptop and do a clean install, because it became very slow.
    It takes an age to start etc.

    I followed the instructions on the leaflet that was packaged with the CD and everything seems to work very well.
    The files seem to be loading but after abuot 7-8 minutes (about 15% in the process) is an error page came with the following.

    "For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8138/ 810 X PCI.
    PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
    "PXE - MOF: PXE Rom of output.

    I noticed that the power supply has been very hot and the bottom of the computer was also very hot so perhaps thought that the power supply is maybe defective. I had an another same PSU so tried again with this.

    Same problem again!
    Do you think that the hard drive is faulty? I haven't noticed any problems before, except for the slow response generally.

    I would be grateful for any useful comment.

    Hello

    This message usually if the laptop cannot find a bootable device and finally tires to boot from LAN.
    But if the boot to LAN is not possible then the message PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable would appear on the screen.

    Generally, this will happen if the HARD drive is not accessible (dead or defective) or the laptop cannot boot from the disc.

    I think that you should first check if it would be possible to solve this problem by using a new HARD drive.

    Goodbye & good luck

    My Toshiba Satellite L30-149 with the PSL35E-002002NS model number is equipped with a MK4032GSX drive HARD 40 GB, Bios V 1.90 and HP Windows XP Home edition.

    IT stops during startup with the text.

    For Realtek RTL8139 (x) /8130/ 810 x PCI Fast Ethernet Controller V2.13 (020326), PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE - M0F: exit ROM PXE, operating system not found.

    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.

    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

  • 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.

    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?

    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 :)
