Hi All,

Hope somebody can help me with this, my IBM laptop was working fine
and then all of a sudden gave up booting! I get the following message:

PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F Exiting Intel PXE ROM
Operating system non found

Those messages just mean it tried to boot from the network and
couldn't.

I have two hard disks, and the BIOS settings only show one - the
easily removable one, sadly! I guess i need to get in to check the
other one - can somebody tell me how, or even if this is advisable?

Any help appreciated, thanks,

Lynne.


It sounds like the main hard drive has failed. Since it's not even
detecting it, there's probably not much you can do to revive it.
