  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.

• 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...

  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

• Portege Z830, PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I have a problem on my Toshiba Portege Z830. After that I turn to the top of the computer, windows attempts even to start, instead, I saw the following message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press any key when ready...

  From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

  I did that in the BIOS boot order is reasonable. It is:
  1 HDD / SSD
  2. USB memory
  3. USB WEIRD
  4. DISKETTE DRIVE
  5 LAN
  I also tried to load the defaults in the BIOS, just in case.

  I also tried to re - install Windows 7 and Ubuntu installation, USB. In both cases, Installer was not able to discover any drive where system could have been installed.

  That seemed to me like a problem of material with SSD. And it's actually the second time I'll have it with this laptop. I got it about 4 months ago and at that time I sent my laptop certified Toshiba service in Zuerich. They sent it back, saying that the material was OK and he must have had a software problem.

  To my surprise, after that they sent back for some portable reason indeed started working, I have not yet lost all data (didn't need to reinstall the system, everything worked).
  I was happy, but since now the same thing happen again, I don't know what I have to do.

  Whether any other SSD that hardware problem? If Yes, what else can I try?

  If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service?

  Thank you
  Alan

  > From what I understand, it seems that laptop is trying to boot from LAN, instead of SSD.

  It's OK; the message appears if no other boot device could be found.

  _Question: _
  SSD or HDD disk appears on the first page of the BIOS (size of the SSD drive and the name should be visible)?
  In case the SSD drive isn't in the list, there must be a problem with this device and I guess you have to replace it.

  > If the only option is broken hardware, how can I make sure that this time he gets permanently fixed by Toshiba service

  You simply ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
  I guess guys will try to recover the laptop and where this is not possible, they would replace the faulty device.

• Re: Qosmio F60 / 05 M - PXE - E61 media test failure and hard disk failure

  Hello

  My problem is the computer freezes often and has problems with windows Explorer. Also, it will freeze when in games. I don't know if the issues are related, but after freezing when it starts to reboot, it will come with a black screen reading;

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  When I press on no matter what happens with the same message. If I turn off the laptop by the power button and give it some time before turning on it gives me the option to start windows in safe mode or normal if I choose Safe mode, it does not start. Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test. It gives me no explanation.

  This problem has happened several times in recent weeks.

  The model is:
  Qosmio F60 / 05 M PQF65A-05M02W

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you
  Mick

  Hi mick,.

  > Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test.
  It would be also my staff believes that something is wrong with the HARD drive itself, I mean if the computer attempts to boot the HARD internal access and Windows boot disk, but if the computer can't find the HARD internal disk, it tries to boot from LAN

  According to me, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys should check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.
  In addition to backup all your data if you didn t it yet. Therefore, you can use an external USB HDD.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• PXE - E61: Media test failure in launching Satellite M35X-S329

  When I turn on my computer, it goes to a black screen and says:

  Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.0 (build 082)
  Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation

  For Realteck RTL8139 (X) /8130/ 810 X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 (020326)

  He repeated it again and again and the calculation used sart. Does anyone know what the problem with him?

  What model laptop do you have?

  When the laptop cannot boot from the HARD drive, it will attempt to boot from LAN.

  So either there is a problem with Windows or the drive is defective or too loose.

  You have your recovery discs? You can use those to reinstall Windows, but if you have important data on the HARD disk, you should back up your data first.

  You can save data by attaching the HARD drive to another PC using a 2.5 "USB adapter and copy your files to this PC.

• 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 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

• 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.

• Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM

  Restart, and then select proper boot service

  or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key

  Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.
