Just installed a solid state hard drive there appears to be no bios installed on it and the screen just says the following: PXE-M61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE

PXE-M0F: EXISTING INTEL BOOT AGENT.

INSERT SYSTEM SYSTEM DISK IN DRIVE. BUT MY LAPTOP HAS NO DISk DRIVE.

Hi,

It looks like your PC is trying to boot from the network. To fix this, change the boot order in your BIOS settings by setting your SSD first.

Unfortunately l am unable to gain access to the bios. I have tried numerous times with all of the function keys. But am unable to access it. I DON'T THINK there is a bios present on the SSD. So what else can l do its extremely frustrating.  Await your reply. Thanks.

The BIOS is part of the motherboard, not your SSD.

What is your laptop's make and model?

Thank you.

Here are the steps to enter the BIOS on your Toshiba laptop:

  • Turn on your computer,
  • As soon as you see the Toshiba logo, press F2 (multiple times),
  • In the BIOS, go to the boot settings to change the boot priority,
  • Save the changes and restart.

If you can't enter the BIOS, try turning on your laptop then turn it off immediately. Wait 2-3 seconds and try accessing the BIOS again by following the above steps.

Otherwise, clear the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS - you can refer to this article (hardware reset) for help. Here's also a video if you need additional explanation. Wait several minutes before reconnecting it, then repeat the steps to load the BIOS.

Good luck
