  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 C855 - 19 X - BIOS update problem

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite phone C855 - 19 X and the alert tempo TOSHIBA utility prompts me to update my BIOS. However when I am doing so I get the following message

  "Error".
  Flash process will end!
  Current platform have secure start capability, it must provide the location of storage NV by interface IHISI.
  Please contact BIOS OEM Engineer to add the feature.
  Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
  If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
  You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.
  [EngineeringErrorDisable]
  SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck = 1"

  Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? Should I add this parameter, or is otherwise around it? Because the BIOS will be affected I hesitate to do so.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  First of all, you should know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and using wrongly you can damage the motherboard. So be sure to always update the BIOS.

  Second, the update of the BIOS is not quite necessary in case your laptop runs correctly.
  You have problems using the laptop? Isn't it? Well, in this case I wouldn't touch the BIOS.

  However, the error message is telling as secure boot
  Secure boot is an available option in the BIOS settings. You should probably disable secure boot before running the BIOS update file.

  Hello

  PXE - E61:Media test failed is displayed because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
  This can happen because the LAN option has been fixed in the first start position in the BIOS or because the phone didn t find any other sources bootable.

  In many cases, this can happen because the HARD drive was not recognized.
  Check if the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS must include details of the HARD drive in the BIOS
  If this isn't the case, then the HARD drive is unavailable due to hardware problem.

  It would also be possible that your CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc, and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.

  All these questions can be releated to hardware failure... ODD or HDD, or both...

• Satellite L450D-11V - PXE - E61 error

  Beginner of the computer here.

  I have a Satellite L450D-11V.

  Last week I dropped and since I get a PXE - E61 error. Below, it says something on Realtek Ethernet and then the error message appears below the media cannot be detected.

  What does that mean? and what do I do to fix the error?

  Cell phones have several bootable devices such as hard disk drive, optical disk drive and network card.
  In the BIOS settings it is possible to define which device can be used as first, second or last boot device.

  If the first boot device is not detected laptop tries to use the bootable device second and third at least. In your case to some hard disks drive and optical drive reason undetectable bootable devices ant he tries to use the network card. For this reason, you can see this PXE - E61 error.

  I can't say for sure but I'm afraid there is a serious technical problem with your HARD drive and it can no longer be used as ring starting m.
  What you can do is to enter the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed and recognized correctly.

  Also try start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. If the HARD drive is listed there he choose and press ENTER. What happens when you do this?

  Please post comments.

• 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

• 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 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!

• 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

• 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.

• 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.
