    One day, out of the blue, I get this error message when I turn on my Satellite Pro M15-S405.

    First, the Toshiba screen comes on with the icons, then, it says:

    IDE #0 ERROR

    *There's A Pause*

    Intel(R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09
    Blah Blah Blah...
    PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, Check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
    Insert system disk in drive.
    Press any key when ready...

    That's all.

    If I hit any key, it does that again. If I hit another key, it loops that same thing until I hold the power button to force a power down.

    If I put a system disk in, then hit a key, same thing happens.

    If I turn it off and put a system disk in, same thing.

    If I turn it off, put a system disk in, and hit C when it powers up, it will come up, then work sometimes. It just won't install windows. Or Linux...

    Can you help fix that?

    Thanks,
    MAT
