Tanks

vcman,
Please go through the forum posting guidelines and the infamous MOAN guide... : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=38822.0
which mobo are you talking about? ... pxe-e61 media? and then windows protection error? I see 2 as different issue. pxe-e61 is LAN boot ROM, disable Boot from LAN in your BIOS. Windows Protection Error? Are you still using Win9x?!

Error Message: PXE-E61 media test failure, check cable

Hi,
Recently when I have loaded up my laptop one of two things has happened:
1) I am taken to Windows error recovery and told that I can either launch windows boot repair or start windows normally. Both lead to a screen which says 'Status: 0xc00000e9, Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred. It also says that 'windows has experienced a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error could be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, or by faulty hardware such as a HDD or CD-ROM drive'.
2) I am greeted by a black screen with a lot of text, but one line in particular says : 'PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable'
Having read some forums online I have checked the BIOS and the Hard Drive is being detected sometimes, but other times is 'not present'. On examining the boot order the HDD is registered as the first thing to boot.
I was hoping that some of you would be able to help me out a bit more here, because I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to repairing computers! Any advice that you can give would be appreciated.
My computer is a Toshiba Sattelite-C660D-102
Thanks !

Your hard drive is more than likely failing and will need replaced. You can also check to make sure your hard drive is properly seated and has a good connection.

Equium A100-147 with error message "PXE-E61 Media Test Failure"

Hi all,
I have Equium A100 out of warranty, due to error message "PXE-61 Media Test Failure" I took it to my local computer menders, they told me my Toshiba 60gb hard drive had failed (MG6034GSX) and replaced it with a another 120gb model.
I tried to reload system from Toshiba recovery disc, reload reaches 75% then messages come up saying it can't find loads of operating system files.
Thinking the Recovery disc was faulty I obtained a replacement from Toshiba, and this reload disc gave the same problem.
I have loaded XP Professional on to 120gb HDD and it runs OK but I would like to load original as it came with XP MCE.
Is my problem the 120gb HDD which should be as original 60gb and has the HDD got to be genuine Toshiba to accept the recovery media ?
Does anybody have any ideas, I would really appreciate your help.
Cheers

Hi R2D2
Thank you for your help. I tried the default bios settings and reformatting the HDD and an OS reinstall with the same outcome.
As you said it could be a HDD problem I returned it to the people who fitted the replacement HDD, they diagnosed a faulty HDD, replaced it under warranty and installed the OS for me. I guess the answer to "does the replacement HDD have to be genuine Toshiba" is no, in my case it doesn't.
Machine is now working fine. Thank you for your help, it's really appreciated and once again I think this is a great forum.

Error message when trying to recover HD: PXE-E61 Media test failure

Hi all, new to forums, lots of good info and support here.
Got the BSOD last week. Have been trying all of the various fixes mentioned on the board, to no avail. I went back multiple pages looking for alternatives to try. After stepping away for a few days, I got farther today than I did when I was frustrated. F12, chose to boot HDD, and got the following LOOPING error message:
PXE-E61 Media test failure check cable
PXR-MDF exiting PXE rom
Which gives me hope that I may not have to replace my hard drive.
I have a satellite L455-5975, and have ordered recovery disc from acclaim ('0' option didn't work for me, which makes me wonder if Toshiba time limits that support, but that's off topic)
So it looks to me like my RealTek Ethernet Controller might be the problem? Any thoughts or suggestions? Anything I can do or should I wait for recovery disk to arrive? I worry that the recovery disk isn't going to do what I need. Do I need to replace the ethernet controller, or is this a sign of a hard drive issue? I consider myself 'fairly' tech savvy, but I've never taken a computer apart/put one together myself. It would definitely cost less for me to replace HD myself than putting it in the shop. So I'm willing to try that option if need be.
I appreciate any help/support! Reading some of the previous posts make me wonder if rather than investing more money in the satellite, if I shouldn't instead be saving up to buy a new(er) model.

Creedym...
I have a very similar problem with my mini-notebook model NB305.
I'm getting the same message and can't get past F2 or F12.
Bottom line; I ordered the recovery data from Toshiba on-line by model number ---not by type. They sent two DVDs. My unit doesn't have an optical drive.
First call to "John"---yes, you can copy the data to a thumb drive and use that.
Almost two hours of transferring --- the NB305 did not respond to the thumb drive.
Second call to "Paul". After some consultation on his part with someone else he told me that they don't make a thumbdrive (USB) recovery disk for my model, that's why I received two DVDs. ! I would have take it to a shop where they etc...
I haven't decided what to do next. Maybe purchase an external drive rather than take it to a repair shop where it will probably cost more than buying an inexpensive external drive.

Satellite Pro L10: PXE-E61 - Media test failure check cable error message

I recently bought an L10 laptop without the hard drive and everytime i try to boot it with a newly installed hard drive i get this message .
PXE-E61 :MEDIA TEST FAILURE CHECK CABLE
PXE-MOF: EXITING PXE ROM
OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND.
CAN SOMEONE MAKE SENSE OUT OF THIS AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME AND ALSO HOW CAN I GET RECOVERY SOFTWARE AS I DO NOT HAVE THE TOSHIBA RECOVERY CD BUT I DO HAVE THE CoA STICKER ON LAPTOP.
IM DESPERATE PLESE HELP

Hi Nash,
Your problem is quite straightforward and can be summarised as follows.
1. You bought a notebook without a hard drive and presumably installed a new hard drive.
2. You then tried to boot the system from the new hard drive.
The problem here is that there is not yet an operating system installed on the hard drive and as a result the BIOS will try to find an operating system in other places, such as your CD drive, your floppy drive (if you have one), and finally a network connection to a local LAN. If none of these are successful you will receive the error message that you reported.
The obvious solution here would be to install an operating system on your hard drive and you can choose either an original Toshiba recovery disc (obtainable from your local Authorised Service Partner) or you can opt to buy an original Microsoft XP disc in which case you will need to download and install the Toshiba utilities and drivers from the Toshiba web site. My preference would be to get a recovery CD from Toshiba since this will install a guaranteed system with all the necessary utilities and drivers.
Your BIOS will normally be set to search for an operating system on your FDD/CD-ROM, then your HDD and finally on a network lan connection. Once you obtain a recovery CD just load it into your CD-ROM and power on your notebook. The system should find it and then start the installation process. Just follow the on-screen instructions and you should have a valid operating system on your hard drive in about 20-30 minutes.
best of luck,

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable Error Message

My wife’s Satellite L505 (PULU0U-03C003) with Windows 7 Home Premium has started faulting out to this message on a regular basis, at least once a day or more:
Realtek PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller Series v1.15 (090224)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key
I can power down the laptop and then turn it back on again. After going through the “did not start (I think its called that) window, then computer boots successfully and everything works fine for a time. I have attached a photo of the error message.
I checked as many of the messages as I could but didn’t find anything that seemed quite the same. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks - Chet

A PXE error typically means that the Boot Priority in the Bios is set incorrectly and the computer is trying to boot from the LAN port. Make sure that the hard drive (HDD) is the first boot device and the LAN port is the last boot device.

Cannot boot from Recovery CD - Error: PXE-E61: Media test failure

Recovery CD ( winXP home edtion ) can't boot the Toshiba satellite A40 Model# PSA40E-0EWDE-AR (SA40-261) Whenever I try to Boot From recovery cd I get this Error :
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
but when I boot from any other cd (windows ME, WIN 2K, WIN XP Pro...) everything is ok.
Any Clue? Help me please
Thanks
Mesha

Hi
It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

PXE-E61: Media Test failure, Check cable in my Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch.

I have bought my U430 Touch last June, 2014. Recently i am getting the "PXE-E61: Media Test failure, Check cable" error while switching on my laptop. And it does not precede any farther for booting. I have tried disabling the “Network Boot” as well but no luck. It always stuck on the same black screen error. Can you please help me on this issue.

does your device have a nova button (next to power button very small button use this to turn on the device) if you do use this and there is a factory restore there

Message "PXE-E61: Media test, failure, check cable, PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM"

Please help! I have a Satellite L300 laptop, bought in October 2008, and never had any problems until this January. In January I took it to Future Shop under warranty and they had to replace hard drive. Everything was fine until the beginning of April when it started to freeze unexpectedly anywhere from 5 mins after start up to 45 mins later.
It would first go to a blue screen saying it had detected serious problems and would shut down to protect itself, (the page was too fast to read entirely or copy), then on start up would either scan through indexed files, or go straight to a black page with this message:
"Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v.105 (071227)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
It did this numerous times, and said in the control panel that it had problems but no solutions, and my virus scans came back fine, so I took it back to Future Shop assuming it was the hardware again. They scanned it and said it isn't the hardware, but software could be the problem so they did a system restore.
The day I brought it home it started happening again, so I took it back to see them 2 days later. They said they found nothing doing extensive scans and no messages came up when they used it.
I've tried searching other forums and everything that mentions this message "PXE-E61" says its a hard drive issue. There is nothing on the microsoft, future shop or toshiba forums on this that I can find...curious...The Future shop guy thought maybe it was my router for internet, but it shuts down/freezes in two different locations with completely different internet service.
Any suggestions? I'm desperate and Future shop is useless.

The answer is right above your question.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

PXE-E61: media test failure on Portgege 3500 but can't enter the BIOS

I canot enter my BIOS menu.
I tried all the keys ( ESC, F1, F2, Delete..etc) but then i get message :" PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F:exiting PXE ROM". I tried everything but i still cannot enter the BIOS menu.

Turn the laptop On and hold ESC, then press F1 when prompted. Pressing F12 on power-up should give you a boot menu. (This is in the Users Manual)
The PXE error means its trying to boot off the Network, because it cannot find an OS on the HDD.
Test the HDD using a HDD test. The Advanced test in Hitachi DFT is good. (google is your friend)

Satellite P cannot boot from CD & PXE-E61 Media Test failure

No bootable CD in ATAPI - CD ROM message on power up.
Also displays PXE-E61 Media Test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: exiting PXE ROM.
Bad feeling about this.
Can you confirm my worst suspicions please.

Hi
In most cases the HDD is dead and you will need to replace this.
The PXE Media Test failure message appears because the unit ties to boot from LAN.
I think you tried to boot from the disk but the disk was not readable and the unit switched to HDD.
But the HDD is not bootable and therefore the notebook tries to boot from LAN.

Epson r1800 - 'Media not loaded correctly'

Hello All,
I'm having a lot of trouble with my Epson r1800 - I've searched around the internet a bit for solutions but so far haven't come up with anything. To start, I have updated the epson drivers and also tried Gutenprint drivers.
Basically, no matter what I try (including the standard nozzle checks etc...) I always get the message 'Media not loaded correctly'. Occasionally pages will feed through the printer, but they are blank and regardless I get the media not loaded correctly message. Does anybody have a workaround or solutions for this?
Thanks!
Gavin

Try using the following directions from a message from Epson. This corrected my problems with an Epson R1800 and Leopard.
Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
respond to your inquiry.
If your output is faint or if the driver settings and/or features are
missing, your system may have automatically added the printer using the
Gutenprint driver. Many Epson drivers are provided with Leopard but the
driver for your printer needs to be downloaded from the Epson website.
Determine Which Driver is Currently Being Used
1. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
System Preferences.
2. In the System Preferences window, click on Print & Fax.
3. In the list of printers on the left side of the Print & Fax window,
click once on your Epson printer to select it.
4. Check the name of the driver being used; it is displayed in the center
of the Print & Fax window next to “Kind”.
5. If the driver name displayed next to “Kind” is Gutenprint, the incorrect
driver is being used. Follow the steps in the next section to select the
correct driver.
Selecting the Correct Driver
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Delete the print queue and remove the printer from Print & Fax by
clicking on the minus button under the list of printers. Click OK to
confirm the removal.
3. Go to the Epson support website (www.epson.com/support).
4. Select your product model and download the driver for OS X 10.5 Leopard
operating system.
5. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions
to install the printer driver.
6. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
System Preferences.

Re: Qosmio F60/05M - PXE-E61 media test failure and harddisk failure

Hi
My problem is the computer freezes often and has issues 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 up with a black screen reading;
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
When I press anything it just comes up with the same message. If I turn the notebook off by the power button and give it some time before turning it on it gives me the option to start windows in safemode or normal if I choose safemode it doesn't start. Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool the harddisk fails the test. It doesn't give me any explanation.
This problem has occurred a number of times over the last couple of weeks.
The model is:
Qosmio F60/05M PQF65A-05M02W
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mick

Hi mick,
> Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool the harddisk fails the test.
This would be also my personal opinion that something is wrong with HDD itself I mean if the computer try to boot it access the internal HDD and start Windows but if the computer cant find the internal HDD it tries to boot from LAN
I think you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys should check your HDD and replace it if it necessary.
Furthermore backup all your data if you didnt do this as yet. Therefore you can use an external USB HDD.

Hi Scott,
from "system.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Company.Solution.Update," error
it seems some custom feature assemble missing in DEV. Do you have any custom feature installed in PROD and not in DEV ? Also make sure both environment are running on same SP / SQL versions.
Let us know your results, thanks.
