One day i was sitting at home playing on my toshiba laptop, windows 7, and the screen went blue said something but didnt get a glimse and then it said Check cable connection.. ! PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM Boot Error
on a black screen, what happened? D=
I am bumping because this solution worked perfectly in December 2014 for a Dell laptop w/ a nicely burned in Scorpio HDD.:grin: I pasted the boot error message into my Net search box and this was the top return. Thx, makinu1der, for taking the time to rescue a puzzled old timer!
I did the first two and now its saying the exact same thing, but on top of the original message it says
Nobootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
does this mean my harddrive is corrupted and ill need the windows 7 disc to reformat?
at first it would randomly work and i could access my desktop and everything and then eventually it went bak to the black screen, but now after i pulled the harddrive and put it bak in, it starts up then just is black screen period, sits like that for awhile then eventually brings up the same error cable connection problem.. =[
i got a windows 7 disc downloaded, put it in and it said i had some errors with the start up system or some retard thing and now its being a peice of trash just like before. how do i fix up the windows start up thing?
My bud got
It from pirate bay or somethin, and i dont know exactly what that is, i tried everything i could off that disc tho including a system repair but it just did not want to work =\
Throw the pirated copy of Win 7 in the trash and use the original disc, pirated copies from site like The Pirate Bay come with keyloggers/malware preinstalled.
D/L burn to a CD and run the drive fitness test, use the fitness test CD to boot from if it won't boot from that it's not a windows issue.
Did this come with Win 7 pre-installed?
If it did there is a recovery partition on the hard drive, there is also a program on the start menu called "recovery disk creator" which you should have used to create your own set of recovery DVD's.
First you need to test the hard drive, if it is still good then use the recovery system to reinstall Win7, if the hard drive has in fact failed then you can borrow a legitimate win 7 disk(same version you have) from a friend and use the key on the bottom, or contact Toshiba support for replacement recovery media usually about $25.
Thanks alot, so will i have to take out the harddrive n connect it to a diff comp? Cuy i cant get to the desktop at all, the win7 doesnt start up, and it was preinstalled with win7
Did you follow the instructions for the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, there nothing there about having to start windows, if you can't start the recovery wizard from boot the hard drive has failed, you'll need a new hard drive and a windows 7 installation disk.
