Title: PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable; PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Post by: samiks14 on December 10, 2008, 11:56:48 PM

I have windows XP on my HP pavilion dv6000 notebook

The following error started popping up recently during boot up.
I started getting the following error whenever I switched on the computer:

PXE-E61 - Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

This error continues to popup...it goes on in a loop...

BIOS is setup corrected & New HDD disk installed now.

any suggestions on how to overcome this are really welcomed...

Please help me ASAP...

If that is a new hard drive you will have to put an operating system on it in order to boot to it.
