I recently purchased a Toshiba NB305 netbook with the intention of installing the OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD I had been using as a boot drive on my desktop. (For life reasons I won't be needing the desktop so much starting in the fall.)
After completing the hardware portion of the instillation, the computer fails to boot. I receive the error "PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable" which at first led me to believe that the drive was just not recognized at all. But when I enter BIOS setup, the SSD is listed first in the boot order.
I know the drive works -- I can plug it into my desktop. And the netbook works fine with its old HDD. I'm willing to spend money on a new SSD if there's a known compatibility issue here, but not if a new drive is no more likely to work than what I have.
Any ideas?
*EDIT*
Ok, I now know that the SSD was never a boot drive -- even though I've been launching/running my OS off of it, it wasn't my boot drive at all. I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do to make it my boot drive. I've marked it as "active" through Computer Management but that just produced the error "BOOTMGR missing." Still, by reading online I feel that I'm getting on the right track. Thanks for any help!
