Re: When power is on i get the PXE-E61 code on the screen...
It is trying to boot from the network, basically from the internet cable that can be plugged in. If you enter the bios you can typically disable the PXE boot option so it won't show up again.

It is not recognizing the hard drive, Open it up reseat it. Then check BIOS by pressing F key noted on startup. It must be noted there in order for it to boot correctly.
HI there,
The "Error" texts saying:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Are completely normal. This simply states that there is no external cables plugged into the specialty inputs on your toshiba laptop.
The "operating system not found" is stating that your existing hard drive is either A) dead or B) been erased.
Try to re-install your operating system, if it finds no hard drive, you'll need a new one!
Usually it means your hard drive has crashed.
The PXE is your computer trying to connect to a network server (virtual hard drive).
Did you have any important files on the computer?
Not always the Hard drive, boot into the bios setup utility and de-select network bootfrom the boot options. If it tries to network boot first you will always get that failure.
