  Hi there im wondering if anyone can help with this question, coming from the old computer school where it was a pain in the back to fix things, but you knew kind where you were, I don't know where I am!
  I mean, why the hell / modern machine manufacturers make it harder to sort out the problems! ???

  I DOWNLOADED them a FEW PICTURES ON MY WEB site (to use the space!) the address is my own and there is no questionable content or threats out there so feel free to take a look to see if you can help!

  my old toshiba satellite c660-2ef decided at the United Nations 10 months to recognize the HARD drive itself and after checking bindings cables and a good visual check, I went as far as buying a new SSD to replace the old drive as his is dead, it does not work either.

  First of all its user forum at
  Second: read operating instructions you will find information on the recovery disc this disc must be created in the first day of buying using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  Not all SSD drives are compatible it might be a BIOS<->SSD drive compatibility issue but its certainly NOT BIOS corruption as you suggested.
  Sometimes, manufacturers of SSDS offer an update of the firmware of SSD
  If these updates does not resolve the SSD drive, try another disc SSD
  But in general the disk SATA SSD or HDD must be supported.

  > How the hell can I reinstall windows on my pc without a disc of recovery and now theres absolutely nothing on my HARD drive?

  You need a recovery disk you didn t he created in the past please order it here:

• Satellite Pro C660-v10 does not start: pxe - e61 media test failure

  Hello

  laptop was dropped accidentally, worked very well at the beginning but now does not.
  Press f12 for the boot menu, the screen says,

  PXE - e61 media test failure - check the cable.
  PXE - m0f too; output
  PXE rom operating system not found. Please can someone explain what this means?

  > 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 L30-149-PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello!

  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 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.

• 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)
  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: exit ROM PXE
  operating system not found
  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

• 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 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
  PXE - MOF: EXIT PXE ROM
  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.

  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?

  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 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.

• 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 :)

• 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?
  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.

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

  My Portege R200 PPR21E-00K00QEN computer means the usual stuff of toshiba: IE

  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

• 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!
