Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
Hi, i have a used laptop it was working ok but this morning it sent me a message that says "PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable" and another one that it says "PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent", what should i do? I bought this pc used and do not have any installation or recover disk and I’m not able to get into safe mode or anything, the worst part is that i have extremely important documents that i need to recover, can some body help me please?

Basically your computer is trying to boot off the network instead of your harddrive. You need to enter your BIOS (usually F2, or F12 when booting)
Look for the menu option called boot order and make sure your CDrom is first then harddrive. You should not see anything like PXE. You might also want to backup any important documents on your computer, as it may indicate a hardware failure.
