Hi All,
My laptop was working fine untill yesterday. I put it for charging entire night yesterday and morning today and while I am starting it, I am getting following error message
For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.12 (010817)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
I didn't do anything with the cable / hardware. I am not sure what happened.. I went to Bios and the hard drive is showing None.
Please help me. I don't have a bootable CD either and that is causing a complete stoppage of my work. please help.

You don't have any restore CD's for that laptop ? ?
The error messages you are seeing aren't good news by any chance...
More info on your machine OS etc. etc. etc. and someone will be along shortly.

The hard drive is not being recognized AND the machine is trying to boot from a network adapter which is not present.
Free diagnostics for the hard drive are available at the manufacturer's site, BUT if it is not being seen in the BIOS that will have to be rectified first. Make sure the drive is firmly seated. You didn't bother to post any details about the machine so we cannot proceed further.
Your turn. See below.

Hello,
My machine is Toshiba satellite 2435-S255. It's an Intel pentium 4 processor 2.4 GHZ , 512 MB ROM, 40 GB HDD machine.
Can I get the bootable CDs from Toshiba website? Please let me know.
Thanks.

It would be best to know what kind of hard drive, but the Seatools at the Seagate site should work. Toshiba will likely NOT have what you need.
I believe that model has a LOT of heat related issues. Would you agree?
