Hello, I'm experiencing a problem again, my screen went to blue then when I turned on the computer the screen stopped on the Toshiba opening page with f2 setup, f12 for boot device selection menu on the bottom left. I hit f12 then a repeating message of pxt-e61 (media test failure, check cable) and pxe-m0f (exiting pxe rom). All I did when this happened was uploading some pictures off my camera. Now the computer will not do anything. I don't have the reboot disc with me as I'm in Iraq, so is there something I can try without the disc besides turning the computer on and off. I don't have access to hook up the computer to the internet also.
Thank You
J.

Jump to PostThe fact that your laptop is trying to boot from PXE (network) shows that your HD isn't detected by BIOS. All you can do is unplug and plug in the cable(s) connecting the HD.
