    new ssd pxe-e61

    Hi all, having trouble with my acer 5750 laptop. it was a refurbished from pc world group. Only bought laptop 15 month ago.

    Here's the problem. Got the following error

    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM.

    Art first hard drive was not making any noises so I try to switch on the laptop several times, soon after it was making noises so I thought I needed to invest in new hard drive and bought Samsung 840 250gb ssd.

    New ssd shows under bios> information. Sata mode - AHCI Mode. I also changed boot priority so that cdrom comes first followed by ssd. However I still get

    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

    So I tried to install windows 7 from my backup disks. Disc 1 of 3 completes fine, insert disk 2 of 3 and it gets stuck on format hard drive partitions. I left the laptop rubbing for 8 hours. After about 1 hour the disc starts spinning but nothing happens and the progress bar is stuck on 14%.

    Im at a loss as to what I can do to rectify the problem.


    Plead help.
