Hello to you, today I received from my father an old hard drive. I thought I would plug it into my computer and take the opportunity to use the SATA cables I bought recently on Amazon since the old one was too short. As soon as I finished, I reconnected everything and turned on my PC, and it displayed this error. I'm on Windows 10, and after searching all over CCM, I can't find an answer to my question. If you have the slightest idea of what is happening to me, I would be interested because I would hate to find out that the PC I have been building for over a year is broken. My first hard drive is a 1TB Hitachi HDD, and the one I received from my father is a 80GB Western Digital (it's ridiculous to break your computer just to find out what such a small HDD can contain!)

    Hello,

    The PXE boot error is a false friend. The PC tries to boot from the network when it hasn't found anything to start up on the PC.

    Either the boot order in the BIOS is set to PXE first. But especially when it can't find anything to boot from the disk, it turns to the network.

    As you mentioned that you have modified the disk connections, you should put everything back to its original state.

      I did what I had to do but nothing works. I wanted to check the BIOS to see if everything was in order, but I can't access it; it directly shows me this error. And putting everything back in the right order doesn't work either.

      Did you put the old cable back exactly in the same place on the motherboard? Because the order of the SATA ports may be important.

      Or maybe by touching the inside of the PC you disconnected or moved something?

      I put the old cable back in the same place on port 1 and made sure not to move any other cables.

      No more ideas, at least we should be able to enter the BIOS to check the boot devices and those that are recognized.

      Remove the disk to try to access the BIOS.

      Here, I managed to access the BIOS. The hard drive is indeed in the first position, then there is the CD drive, followed by the floppy group (not sure what that is), and finally the network boot group.
