kyle seddon,
If the hard dive is the first device in the boot order (like in your case) but you still getting the same error message on startup MEDIA TEST FAILURE,CHECK CABLE.EXITING PXE ROM.OPERATING SYSTEN NOT FOUND it could be related to:
1. Corrupted operating system. In this case try reinstalling OS.
2. Failed hard dive. First, test the hard dive with Hitachi’s drive fitness test to make sure it’s bad and then replace the hard drive.
3. The worst case scenario. There is nothing wrong with the hard drive and there is a problem with the controller on the motherboard. In this case you’ll have to replace the whole motherboard.

kyle seddon,
Looks like your laptop is trying to boot from LAN because for some reason it doesn’t detect the hard drive. Most likely the hard drive is bad and has to be replaced.
1. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Find out if the hard drive is detected by the BIOS. Make sure the hard drive is the first device in the boot order.
2. You can test the hard drive with Hitachi’s drive fitness test utility (link in Resources).
3. Try reconnecting the hard drive. Just unplug it from the motherboard and plug it back in. It’s possible that the hard drive got disconnected from the motherboard.
From my experience, if the laptop worked fine and then suddenly you see this message:
MEDIA TEST FAILURE,CHECK CABLE.EXITING PXE ROM.OPERATING SYSTEN NOT FOUND
either the OS has been corrupted or you have the hard drive failure.

I have just bought a Acer TravelMate 220. The package I bought does not have a manual for the machine. Do you have one availble and if so can you advise me a price. Thank you.
