Hello everyone,
Big problem, my laptop won't boot up properly.
I am a beginner and here is the only information I have:
The processor is Intel
Broadcom UNDI PXE 2.1 (build 082) V1.0.5a
The message displayed at startup is:
PXE - E61: Media test failure check cable
PXE - MOF: Exiting Broadcom
PXE ROM Operating System not found
Thank you for telling me what this is and especially what I should do?

I have the same problem
Except that I can start it if I insert the CD at boot and tell it to boot from the first disk???
Can someone tell me how to do it more cleanly?
Thank you

Hello,
First of all, I hope your problem is solved Loryde...
But I'm posting this message because I'm facing a similar hassle right now...
I just installed Linux, with Debian 4.0, and when the installation finishes and my PC should reboot to the BIOS, it shows me:
Intel(R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.17
Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation
Intel(R) Boot Agent PXE Base Code (PXE-2.1 build 085)
Copyright (C) 1997-2005, Intel Corporation
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
So since I'm not stupid, I read your advice and applied it... I told the BIOS to boot from the disk, I even set the network boot to "disabled"...
And now it completely says:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
...
Yet at the end of the installation, I requested to install GRUB...
If someone can help me... God bless him ;)

Hello,
The messages you have are probably just the result of another issue.
PXE boot is a way to start a machine from a server over the network. It is therefore a specific type of remote boot that is rarely (if ever) used outside of companies.
I think your machine is unable to boot from your disk and is trying another method: PXE.
Are there any other messages before this regarding your disk?
Best regards.

Hello,
The thing is that you are currently booting from the network port of your machine.
You need to change the boot order in the BIOS and set the HDD as the first option.
Normally, this should resolve the issue.

Hi,
My mother gave me her old computer and while trying to remove the damned McAfee, it rebooted and gave me the PXE E61 error. I wanted to reinstall the Windows I had, but the CD wouldn’t boot. However, when I read to set the HDD as the first boot device, it worked right away.
So just a simple mistake (or foolishness) to correct and it was back to working like magic.
Thanks my dear

Hello, I have a problem with my ThinkPad T42. When I start it up, it shows:

Can you help me? When I restart, I put in my recovery CD and select boot from CD in the BIOS but it still does the same thing.
IBM ThinkPad T42 1.6 GHz 512 RAM 40 GB... please help me
PS: My hard drive is brand new; I changed it because the old one had failed. Please help me.

Hello,
I had the same problem after restoring an image of my primary partition.
I had to mark the boot partition as active.
The procedure is as follows (from memory):
1) launch the repair console (boot from the XP disk and select "R")
2) "diskpart"
3) at the diskpart prompt, you need to type:
list partition
and note the number of the XP partition you want to mark as active (usually the first one)
4) "select partition n" where n is the number of the XP partition
5) "active"
6) "exit"
7) optionally "fixmbr" and "fixboot" to ensure everything is in order (be careful if you have multi-boot with Linux or others)
Good luck,
Nick

Hello everyone
I must say that following the installation of a second hard drive (all this preceded by a power surge in the city where I live. I even had to change my power supply, you can imagine why)
my system only sees the old disk (even with the help of a technician)
later my desktop displays: PXE-E61 MEDIA TEST FAILURE CHECK CABLE and everything else
So I'm begging you to get me out of this mess please
PS: I am in second year of graphic design and multimedia, so anyone who could help me with courses or documents on Adobe (Photoshop CS, After Effects, Audition, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver, Flash, Director, InDesign, etc....) CS2 would really help me
Thank you all.

Good evening
I have exactly the same issue as mentioned at the top of the post, but I have no CD to fix it, this is my work PC and I’m in the countryside with a big presentation tomorrow.
I can’t get past the black screen
What can I do to solve the problem, any advice?
I have a few moments of access to a PC and a connection.
And I’m completely useless with computers
Thank you

My computer (an Intel Dell Inspiron) is giving me a media test failure, PXE,... install boot disk and press any key... when I tried to install Ubuntu in dual boot with Vista. I have no idea what to do, the computer can only start from a CD, at first everything was working, but now it's no longer possible.
