Hi

The details are

Initialy, it stopped booting, showing 'pxe-e61: media test failure' error, so, I ran an HDD test and got 'No IDE dedvice' msg, I then disabled the Network adapter option in the boot order, and made the HDD 1st in the boot order.

At this point the pxe-e61 error stopped flashing and it seemed like it was going to boot but it never progressed. I tried reloading the OS but it could not detect the HDD and so could not be completed.

I have changed the HDD to new ones twice but the problem still exists.

Any Help to restore the detection of my HDD would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

PXE means Pre-Boot Execution Environment.
You see this message when the laptop trying to boot from a
remote server using the network card.
it means that the network card was set after the hard drive in the boot order.
Try changing in boot device properties
if you have replaced the hard drive, reinstall the operating system.
