Satellite A30 wont boot up and is stuck on "exiting PXE ROM"

A30 wont boot up and is stuck on a loop
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
I dont have recovery discs and bios does not allow to turn off any relevant settings.

The error message PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable appears because the notebook tries to boot from the LAN.
There could be a different reason why the notebook doesnt boot from the HDD or from another source.
Firstly the wrong booting order could prevent the notebook from HDD booting.
Secondly the missing HDD or an HDD malfunction could cause this issue.
You should definitely try to access the BIOS pressing the F2 button immediately after notebook starting. There you should check if the HDD was recognized.
If not, then I recommend replacing the HDD and to reinstall the OS.
Best regards

Error message when booting Satellite P series - "Exiting PXE-ROM"

A while ago, I accidentally deleted the active partition to my hard drive. OOps. That is not very nice, because even though I wanted to clean out the drive and start fresh, the laptop would not recognize a hard drive any more. I live in the british virgin islands where we've got lots of rum and sand but no computer parts! So I bought a new hard drive, and it did not solve the problem. Turns out that drive was no good. Bummer. I was recently in California (lots of computer parts there) and had some tech people confirmed the drive was bad and yet another drive was put in. Unfortunately the people there did not have time to fix the laptop before I left. Now I'm pretty certain that the Hard drive is good.
So now I have a good drive, but whenever I try to boot, I get stuck at the following message:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810 PCI fast ethernet controller v2.13 (020326)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.
NO matter what boot sequence I use (I can get to the setup), I can't get the computer to boot to any CD. I even tried to put a version of Ubuntu on a pen drive to try and boot to that. Nothing Every time I get the same message.
If I remove the hard drive, I get the same message, except it repeats itself every few seconds. With the HD in it only does it once.
What should I do now?

The PXE-ROM message appears because the notebook tries to boot from the LAN.
We can speculate why the notebook want to boot from the LAN.
Either the other devices like HDD and CD/DVD drive dont function correctly, controllers are not recognized by BIOS or there is a simply wrong booting order.
If you want to boot from the HDD or ODD you can press the F12 immediately after notebook starting and the boot menu should appears. Then you could choose the right boot device.
Anyway, if its not able to choose such device you should access the BIOS and should set the BIOS to the default settings and save these settings!
Good luck

MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.

We created a custom MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.
I press F8 and type IPCONFIG we get Windows IP Configuration. We are using vmxnet3 network adapter.
I think I need to inject 32-bit vmxnet3 driver to the custom MDT boot image which is 32-bit.
We are using it to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 operating System.
Can I just use the 32-bit custom MDT boot image or do I need to use 64-bit Custom MDT Boot Image?
Also Is there a blog on how to inject vmxnet3 driver to boot image?

You can try this:
http://mwesterink.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/configmgr-2012-obtaining-vmxnet3-nic-drivers-for-vmware-virtual-machines/
Honestly, your best bet is to use a different adapter (E1000). I personally have had no luck getting the vmxnet3 driver to work properly in WinPE. It's either really, really slow or it simply doesn't load at all.

Satellite A300 wont boot up

Hi guys
Im overseas atm, so I really want to try and resolve this problem by myself.
Ok I was watching a movie yesterday and as it ended the laptop locked up, it wouldnt let me ctr,alt,del nothing....
So I waited a few mins and tried again to ctr,alt,del again still frozen. SO I hit the power button for a few seconds and shut it down that way. When it rebooted I chose safe mode but when I was prompted for my password the keyboard wouldnt work so I couldnt type it in.
I had to use my external mouse and shut it down from the power option.
The next time it rebooted i chose normal mode but it has been sitting on the vista screen just before the password box pops up for hours.
Is there anything i can do guys???
Thanx John

Hi Akuma,
I tried what you said but to no avail.
After it restarted it got stuck on the Vista screen again, after about 20 mins I gave up.
I tried safe boot, restoring to previously saved point.
Nothing works it just wont boot up, one minute is was working fine the next its dead.
Toshiba said to do a system restore or something like that which basically takes it back to when it was brand new, so I loose everything.....

Satellite L300 wont boot up

Hi, I have a Satellite L300 Laptop which since i dropped it , wont boot up i have tried the built in recovery but it stops with "Windows cannot recover Master file table". It is running Vista , does any one know how i can reboot my laptop as at the moment it starts then i get a blank screen and nothing .
Cheers Doug

You more than likely damaged the hard drive when you dropped it. See if it will boot to a CD or DVD. If it does you need to test the hard drive to see if it is usable or not.
To test the hard drive determine what brand of hard drive you have. You can check the Bios/Setup to find out. Go to that manufacturer's support site and download their Self Booting Diagnostic CD ISO image, create the CD using the Burn From Image option (see http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm for more information on doing this), then boot to it and run the most exhaustive tests available. If you have a Toshiba drive you will need to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test as Toshiba doesn't supply their own. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
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.

What OS were you using on the mini before this problem started? If 10.7.8.9, boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions. Then reinstall the OS.

Re: My Satellite P200 wont boot up

Hi All,
Noobie here,
I think I have caused a problem wher my P200, it will not boot up, it was running very slow and I went into task manager and removed some programs that were not running but using memory.
I think there is a good chance I may have deleted something the system needs as it wont load up.
I switch it on and I get a light at the HDD on the front and a light at the dvd drive but nothing else , I have tried pressing F8 and putting the recovery disk in but nothing ??
Anyone have any ideas ??
Appreciate any help.
John

I think the problem is when I was clearing out prorammes that were using memory but not active I accidentally removed some that the system was using, and now when I try to start the computer the missing info is not getting thru to the hard drive as the system is looking in the dvd to boot up and stopping expecting to get the boot info from there. Thats what I think but I dont really know.
How do I make a boot disk if I cant get into the computer ? or can I make one by getting info from the recovery disc.
As I said I am just guessing and even worse I am a novice.
Rgds

Satellite M30-704 boot slow and 0203 failure IDE#2 message after drive replace

Hi,
two problems:
firstly after replacing the cd/dvd drive my computer will not now boot automatically and shows an '0203 failure IDE#2' message. I can then boot it but this all takes time?
second problem: before I can access any programme, a message reading: 'apdproxy.exe - Application Error - the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)' appears twice before I can continue and the computer is then very slow.
Can anyone offer any solutions? (ps - these two problems are not linked as they occurred months apart).
Thanks, Gardiner

1.) I would say the BIOS cannot handle the new drive properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-sel settings but its strange that the drive runs.
I think you should check in the device manager the primary and secondary IDE channels.
The transfer mode should be set to DMA if available and device type Auto detection
2.) It seems the 'apdproxy.exe is a part of the Adobe Photoshop or similar application.
This software could cause an error. So simply try to reinstall this program

L512 Wont Boot , Splash Screen then stuck blank screen and Fan in full throttle

I was using the laptop, then it went to suspend mode due normal timeout.
When it came back, the fan start to spin full throttle but it was functionating beside that, normally.
I restarted but then it never boot again.
This is the process where it gets stucked
Boot to Splash Screen, Beep, then a black screen and the fan start to spin at full speed.
(In the post in diagnostic mode, shows no error, pass the memory check, shows the info of the processor )
I tried this:
Retired Hard Disk,
Press 60 Seconds (Reset BIOS) - without battery and power cord
Press 10 times the power button an then 30 seconds -- without battery and power cord
Visually there is no damage in the usb ports, maybe i will need to disassembly to get a better view to check if there is a short somewhere.
With this symptoms , what should else i try. Could be a memory issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Thanks to the Mod!
It happens that if i wait for about 30 secs, then it will boot up, asking a proper boot media.
I was testing it and was workiing fine, except for the Fan working at full speed, Not suspending or shuting down or Hibernate. Only blinking power button led. So a rude disconnection /Battery Extraction needed to acomplish full shutdown.
But Now in the bios diagnostics splash shows
2201: Machine UUID is invalid
The bios shows only 0s in the uuid section.
i was looking for some imformation about this problem, and i found tah can be solved using some kind of floppy for servicing the laptop.
I ve already downloaded a copy, Havent tried yet, But plan to do some test. as soon i can get some spare time.
It appear tha some comand will let me regenerate the UUID, and with some luck, reflashing the bios will solve my problem.
I'll update as any new steps performed

Satellite A300 wont boot

Hello forum members,
I have had many problems with my Toshiba Satellite A300 for some time. I had found the solution of one of the problems through this forum but right now the problem I am facing; I cant find the solution for the problem.
When I press the power on button, the laptop just blinks (the fan runs , then stops , like it gets power pulse. the satellite sign on the left side of the laptop blinks and laptop shuts down, then laptop itself tries to boot but this goes on and on for long time. It finally boots (not really specific time when it boots , sometimes after 1 hour, 2 hours or all day) and I can use it. I tried to put the laptop in hibernate mood/sleep mode but no use, every time I press the power on button, I face the same problem. Once it starts it doesnt shut down and works fine.
I cant really figure out what is the problem? Your answers are really appreciated. I am having really a tough time with this laptop.

I tried to run it with ac supply (without battery) and it wont run. then with with both AC supply ans battery and it wont run, in the end , i tried it only with battery and it works fine. this is just strange for me. I have been running the laptop on ac supply for more than one year. i run it with battery (the battery is almost kaputt), then i shut it down, remove the battery and run it with only AC supply , works fine now. thanks all for the answers.

Satellite L450D wont boot up

Hi
my satellite L450D-11X suddenly will not boot up,when i power it on the fan runns for about 3 seconds and the green led at the front comes on then goes out after 5 seconds,
with the power plugged in the green light stays on and the amber light stays on but same result the laptop will not power up
I have tried connecting to ext monitor..no luck also i tried holding zero while powering up..no joy.
I get no display or anything when i power up and nothing happens,, any help much appreciated..steve

Hi
If you cannot power up the unit, then its definitely a hardware related issue.
My notebook didnt boot up because of the faulty RAM.
But of course, there could be other issue which is not related to memory
Im not sure if buying a new RAM is a option for you only to test the RAM because nobody can say if its really a RAM problem so maybe you should visit an notebook technician downtown who could check this for you
Then you will be 100 % sure what's wrong here...
