If I understand you well, before Windows loads, you get a notification
about the ethernet controler which is waiting for a boot data stream to come from a local server. If you don't use a client-server network setup, you'll need to
go to BIOS and change the boot options, so that your hard drive is set
as first boot device, then DVD as second boot device, then USB drive as
fourth boot device, and lastly LAN as fifth boot device.
What happens is that your PC thinks that the LAN is the primary boot
device, and in corporate networks PCs get such a setup so that there's
one large server feeding data to the local cubicle PCs. In some cases the server-dependancy is set to such extent
that these cubicle units are just "dumb terminals". In your situation,
your PC thinks it should also get boot infro from the LAN, but as your PC
is not a part of a corporate network it waits in vain, and after a
while it should move on to the second/third boot device, and eventually find that
it has Windows installed localy and starts loading the OS.
So, to wrap up, you'll need to go to BIOS and set your local hard drive as the primary boot option. This will fix the problem only if your hard drive is OK and you've installed Windows on it.
If your hard drive is failing/gone, then your laptop may not even recognize it and therefore moves on to the next bootable device, which is usually the DVD, and then a USB drive and lastly LAN boot.
Anyway, go to BIOS, and see what is the current setup. If the hard drive is set as first boot option, then this is a good sign that you'll need a new drive.
If this was informative please give it a Thumb Up. Thank you.
SOURCE: my computer says check cable
This error occurs because your hard drive is not detected by your PC. If you can open the tray of your hard disk and try to tighten the cable that is connected to the HD it may fix the problem.
Thanks for using Fixya.
SOURCE: Check cable connection..! PXE-E63: Error while
Hard drive is not detected. Change the Boot sequence in BIOS
1. To access the BIOS you must tap F2 or delete key upon turning the computer on
2. Try to look for the Hard drive if it is detected by BIOS if not got to step 6
3. Look for Boot Sequence or anything that is associated Boot
4. The Order boot of must be 1st: DVD Drive, 2nd: Hard drive, 3rd: Network etc.
5. Save the changes and Restart
6. If you still get the same message I suggest that you take out the hard drive and put it back in until it is detected in BIOS
7. If Step 6 did not work I think you need to replace the Hard drive
Thanks for Choosing

Hello.
-Possible corrupted BIOS or failing hard drive.
- When you get the error, try to insert the Windows installation CD that came with the laptop then press any key. Check if that will fix the problem.
-You can also check memory module. There are times some hardware are causing conflicts to the system. Try to remove memory module and
check for the error again. If removing the memory module resolves the
problem, it's a faulty memory. If not, then it could be a problem with
the hard drive. Be sure to take necessary precautions before removing
parts on your laptop.
For guide in removing and installing devices
on your laptop, you may visit http://support.toshiba.com to download the
manual for your laptop.
- Last option is to reset the BIOS which requires removing the CMOS/Lithium battery for 5 seconds and putting it back. You can do this by opening the bottom panel of the laptop which requires an expert to do it.
~~Hope this helps.~~

First - re-seat the harddisk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot andgo into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If itdoesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.Then the hard drive needsto be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer orlaptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioningcomputer/laptop again.
Step 2: It might also happen if system is unable to find any bootable device.
Try restoring default setting in BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and check. Also please check for the boot priority. For this you have you to contact the system manufacturer.
