Replaced hard drive: Toshiba Satellite L505 -still getting error message

Replaced the hard drive but still getting this message:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
No boot able device --insert boot disk and press any key
Anybody have any suggestions as to why I'm still getting this. I don't have a boot disk - none came with my laptop.

The model is Satellite L505D-GS600
However I think I figured out the problem (one of those DUH moments).
For the initial error, I had problems with my hard drive. I was told it was mechanical and but the hard drive was not corrupt. I was hoping to recover my files. In any event, I did purchase another hard drive and realized after posting the question that I needed the recovery disk in order for it to work. I don't have this disk so I've got to order one. However, if I'm wrong please let me know. Also, I have not made any changes other than the new hard drive. Thank you for your reply.

    trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

    If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • Replacement Hard Drive for Satellite 4090 XCDT

    I have a Satellite 4090 XCDT which needs a new hard drive, I am trying to find out if the laptop/BIOS can support a 20 GB hard drive (Toshiba Mk-2018GAS), can anyone help me?
    Also upto what size will it support?

    Hi Steve
    I can not give you precise information about 20GB HDD but I know that 8GB HDD will be recognized by BIOS and it will work properly. A friend of mine has 4100XCDT and it works with 20GB HDD without any problem.
    My opinion is that you should pick up some information by service partner or Google a little bit around and I am sure that you can find HDD vendor that can give you right information. I know that it is possible to built in HDD`s with high capacity to older machines but how it exactly works I can not explain you.

  • I can't get Adobe Flash to work on FF 25. Have downloaded and installed AF, but still get error message at Pandora, etc.

    I'm using FF25 on Windows 7. When I go to Pandora and Grooveshark I get error messages telling me I need to install a newer version of Flash (v.10 or later). I've downloaded and installed (I think) Flash repeatedly, but I still get that error message. (Btw, I got the same message with IE, but I installed Flash for that and everything's fine.) I read somewhere that I needed to download the latest version of Real Player in order for Flash to work. I did that but get the same error messages. I am not tech savvy and not sure what to do now.

  • Help! Still get error message after installing new hard drive

    The original problem is below and thought that it would help to include it to see the initial problem.
    I went out and bought a new hard drive (500gb) and installed it in my laptop.  I went to use the restore disks and I got the same exact error mentioned below.  I used a set of disks that I copied from the original recovery disk and it still did the same.  What is the error code and how can I fix this!!
    Please help!!
    I have a Satellite A215-S7444 laptop and everytime I go to restore the drive to it's factory settings using the Toshiba recovery wizard I get the following error:  ERROR: 03-EEEE-000, AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED, PRESS [OK] TO TURN OFF COMPUTER.
    Just a note, I have used my recovery disks to restore the factory settings before with no problems at all, now I get this message.  All the files are accesible on the CD and I have no virus' on my computer.
    Lastly, the image part of the drive (The one that is like 1.5 gb) which is usually visible is not any more and has not been for a bit when you should see it when you open "My computer".  You can however see it when I go to "Administrative Tools-Computer Management."  It states that the drive is Healthy (EISA Configuration), type is basic, and there is no file system associated with the drive and there is no drive letter for it either.

    Thanks for your quick reply!  I was wondering if anyone would reply!
    I made the copies on a suggetion that the original may be scratched or something so I figured what the heck?  I did format the hard drive though.  It is a Seagate 500gb hard drive.  I only formatted the whole drive and figured that the restore disks would make the additional partition.
    Aside from that, it's the same error message that I had on the original drive.  The original drive and OS works (Vista), but I wanted to restore it because I just wanted to wipe everything and start clean.  What can be causing the error message, and what IS the error message?
    Anymore suggestions or help would be great as I am in desperate need of getting my computer back to working.
    Thanks again for replying!

  • Replaced hard drive on hdx 16-1140us get No bootable device

    I had a complete hard drive failure on a hdx 16-1140us and had to replace the hard drive. I made the recovery disc when I bought the PC. When I start the PC with "disk 1" I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated! Thanks.

    Hi:
    If you can't get the recovery disk set you made to work, you may have to order a set of HP factory recovery disks.
    Info on how to do that can be found at the link below.

    If you are adventurous and can follow instructions, you can make your own Vista 32 or 64 bit plain installation disk by downloading the 3 applicable files at the link below and following the step by step instructions to compile the 3 files into an ISO file which you then burn to a DVD.
    Then using the 25 character Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, you activate the installation.
    Apparently the product key you enter will activate (unlock) the version of windows vista that came with your notebook (as you see there is only one Vista file for all versions).
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-vi...
    Once installed, you can get whatever drivers you need and whatever software is available for download from your notebook's support and driver page.

  • G5 Tower, replaced hard drive and now can not get it to work- HELP

    My G5 (tower) crashed hard & after a trip to the Genius Bar at my local Mac Store I found out the hard drive was dieing.
    The Mac person fixed some problem files & told that I could replace the hard drive. I bought a 350 GB SATA 3.5in hard drive and placed it in the second slot in the tower. I then used time machine & backed up the hard drive to the second slot (after I backed up on an external hard drive- just to be safe).
    I removed the hard drives & placed the new one in the A slot. When I turned on the computer I had the ? folder. I turned off & restarted holding the option key and got two folders, one with a turn back arrow & a rt facing arrow. Clicked either did nothing. Does any1 know what I am doing wrong?? If so please let me know. Much appreciated.

    Did you reset your PRAM?
    command-option- p-r
    Hold down all four keys as the mac starts up and wait for the chimes to ring twice. Then let the machine start up as usual.
    If it works be sure to check your date and time settings (the system will tell you)
    You can also start up from your system disk holding down the c key as it starts-- go past the language screen and open disk utilities from the menu bar run disk repair and then repair permissions. Set your startup disk to your new drive.
    Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

  • I want to transfer most of my photos from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I have been getting the message that my start up disk is almost full. I want to transfer and then remove them from my computer and have them only stored externally.

    My start up disk needs more space and I have tons of photos on my computer that I want to transfer to my external hard drive and remove from my computer to free up space. How can I do this and make sure all my photos are still properly saved and transferred. I dont need to transfer my whole iPhoto library just some really old albums.

    Here is some help.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933
    After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space.

  • Hard Drive does not have enough space/error message

    Hello: I am new to Mac but have been having trouble with my iMac for a while. I can no longer download my software updates. I have an error message that states "Your hard drive does not have enough space" - 5.7 GB is required.
    I only have a 1 GB machine. What am I doing wrong?
    When I go to my Macintosh HD icon on the desktop, it says at the bottom of that window that I have 495.9 MB available.
    The error message tells me to go to the Startup file to delete items. I go there, but there's only two files. I do have music/photos/but I do not understand what's going on with my computer.
    In addition, it turns itself off often, for no apparent reason. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    J.Renee

    The error refers to space on your hard drive, not memory. Unless you've mis-typed, if you have only 495.9 MBs free on your hard drive then you are definitely out of space. If you continue operating with so little free space you are risking a catastrophic loss of data.
    To free up space you will either need to delete unneeded personal files or copy some of your bigger files off to an external hard drive then delete them from your internal drive. Alternatively you can replace the internal drive with a larger drive.
    You should maintain no less than 15 GBs or 15% of the hard drive's capacity as free space whichever is greater.
    If you meant to type 495.9 GBs then you may have a corrupted disk directory. Try the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • I have my i Pad connected to my computer and I still get error message there was a problem connecting to the server

    I was having problems connecting to my app store and safari, any games or anything that required going out to a server.  I rebooted my wireless several times it is working and it shows a signal on my iPad so it was suggested I go into settings and do a reset.  I have done this and it still is not working.  the error message when I try to sign in with an Apple ID is "there was a problem connecting to the server".  I even get this when I am connected directly to my computer through Itunes
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
    https://appleid.apple.com
    if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.
