Pxe E 61 Media Test Failure. Help on why you may get media test failure, check cable when booting your computer. The problem is that I am still able to load my Windows and access everything but the message where it says media test failure returns if I'm either inactive on the laptop or I shutdown for a few hours.
The laptop then proceeds to boot and work as normal. Either reconnect it or use another network cable. If the PC needs to boot on a network device, you should check if the network cable is disconnected or faulty.
This problem occurs on models which have "LAN" listed as a boot option, when "LAN" is in the boot order prior to another bootable device (and if a network connection to a boot server cannot be found).
The system recognizes my A-Floppy, C-EIDE, D-EIDE, E-???, and now even F-CD drive.
The laptop then proceeds to boot and work as normal. What is this error all about. If the PC needs to boot on a network device, you should check if the network cable is disconnected or faulty.
