Pxe-e61: Media Testfailure, Check Cable

[Tranc3]

I keep getting this error and it's driving me crazy. I get downstairs after making the disk and all. It keeps giving me this error so i do some checking. I find out my bios thinks tha the hard drive is busted. Luckily I have two HD's so I'm good. mI try to install windows on the other drive that works but it won't let me and keeps giving me the previously mentioned code. I try resetting the bios, cutting off all powe to the bios and the comp, switching IDE cables, Everything works fine but i keep getting the error and it won't let me boot from CD or fix this problem. Help once again :( Today sucks

##### google it, and learn what PXE boot is - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Pxe-e61

Always google before you come here

Did you google it? NO

[Tranc3]

I did google this hence all the things i tried to fix i came here in the end hoping maybe yall knew something. All the things i listed to try and fix it were things others tried and worked. None ever listed just what it means

let someone answer before you assume

[Krell]

What it MEANS? Are you kidding me? PXE boot means booting from the network cable. It means, that your BIOS has a boot order, and PXE shouldnt even be one of your choices.

Enter the BIOS, set boot order to HD then CD-Rom then Floppy, but not PXE.

After you save the changes, watch the boot process, and see if ot is detecting your HD and CD.

What I ASSUMED was that if you even type PXE in google, such as the link I provided it would tell you what PXE boot is, and how to address it, like the first 2 dozen posts in the google search.

This could be very educational, as I didnt know what PXE boot meant. I never ran across it before.

Ur one of those people who can't fight or defend themselves so u pride urself in online scrutiny. I love people like you because they always go down in flames in real life whether it be a fight cuz u didn't know when to shut-up, or getting punked cuz u can't do anything unless they are behind a keyborard and screen

[The Hunter]

Point blank, he plain knows his shit. Most of us here have been helped by him many times.

[The Hunter]

PS its a sign of mental weakness to have to resort to a fight when you are wrong.

Theres a difference in beiing an ass and realizing the person did google but the pages he checked didnt provided info on the code only solutions and i can link all the pages i checked.

[The Hunter]

He is not an ass. A bit of a grump, which I am one of also, but he wants people to learn what to ask for when Googling. He has answered the same question over, and over here, so often it would make you sick. If, after you do a dilligent search, cant find the answers, he is glad to help.

Also, when using google, it is not always the question, but how it is asked that provides the correct answer.

I have found myself on countless occasions getting ready to post something on here only to think as I am about to submit "What would Krell say to this thread" and countless times I have found myself scrapping the thread and firing some stuff at google to see if I can find the answer which I usually can.

[tackdaddy]

krell might not put things in the nicest ways but the man is a computer guru and has helped people with lots of problems. if you don't like the answers.......go someplace else.

[The Hunter]

black_magiic, do you remember when i helped you with the settings on your drive? Krell taught me that, as I spent a lot of time reading his posts. The same thing when Chris was working on a friends pc, and had major problems. I was sure I had it figured, but i checked with Krell first, before posting. I had it right, and would not post the link for the info, as a lot of folks would not have had their pcs locked down tight enough, and they would have had major problems. Again, learned from Krell.

[Krell]

I didnt intend to start a pissing contest, although it is a bit funny to watch these people blow up :D Its like rubbing balloons on their head.

People sign up here, want instant quick brainless answers to questions they didnt bother to research, or dont even know how to, then get pissed off while telling me theyre closet rocket scientists . . .

Well people, where the fuck do you think I get MY answers from!

Not to mention, in my thousands and thousands of post, alive and dead ones, where have I ever asked a question like this, ever?

Good luck with that.

Im going to be using that alot.

Google is my best friend. PXE I believe stands for Pre-Execution Environment. I have been using RIS and RIPREP to push out images to workstations that have PXE enabled NICS. My boss can't seem to figure out how I can redo workstations so quickly.
