The gun's in my mouth; I'm about to pull the trigger; my life is in your hands......
Catchy title eh?
Anyway my problem. Proceding my initial boot, and every time I've tryed to boot my machine there after, I'm met with the following message: PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER What media test? What cables? I'VE ALREADY INSERTED THE SYSTEM DISK! What seems to be my problem? I've configured the BIOS so the CD ROM drive is the first to boot and I've tryed multiple system disks that I know work on other computers. Thanks for your help _________________ Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2(rev. 2.1) Processor: Intel core 2 duo E4400 Video card: BFG 7300 GT |

Look in the BIOS and see if anything refering to "boot from network" (or similar) is enabled. If it is, disable that option.

Your network card may just still be listed in the boot order ahead of something. That's in the BIOS option for boot drive order. If you don't have the disable option, just take the network card out of the boot order list.

The network boot option was the problem. Thanks for your help. You saved my life.
