Today I encountered a computer that was showing the following errors when it was trying to boot:
PXE-E61 Media Test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F Exiting Intel Boot Agent
I remember last year I got this same error message on my laptop.
These error mean that the computer can not access the local boot disk and it has looked on the network for a boot drive. Both tries failed.
In the case of my laptop, reseating the hard drive worked. In the case of the server I encountered today, no OS was installed yet on the local disks.
