Hola, I am TRYING to help my teenager who bought her own laptop recently (toshiba satellite C855D-S5320). It was awfully sluggish, so I had her buy some additional memory (compatible according to Toshiba).
Laptop would not recognize the new memory. Upon a small bit of research, it looked like updating the BIOS usually would help this problem.
I followed the directions to make a bootable disk, burned the .iso, plopped in the cd, and got this error:
PXE-E61 media test failure, check cable PXE-M0F exiting PXE ROM No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key
((fyi--the directions advised me to "(1) Shut down the system while pressing the SHIFT key to completely power off. (2) Power on while pressing F2 to enter the BIOS Setup Menu. (3) Go to the Security tab and set the "Secure Boot" setting to "Disabled". (4) Go to the Advanced tab, enter "System Configuration" and set the Boot Mode to "CSM Boot." (5) Press F10 to save and exit. (6) Boot from the BIOS CD-ROM"
...which, I did!
Completely baffled what to do now, and I don't think my daughter has a recovery disk, etc. DOES ANYONE know how to help me get into the bios again to correct the order/make recovery disk?
REALLY appreciate the insight, cheers
