Hi my Laptop is an MSI dominator GT70 2QD. I attempted to update my bios last night but it all went wrong. I am currently getting this error:
For qualcomm atheros PCIE ethernet controller v2.1.1.5 v(03/15/13)
Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
Now ive looked this up online as well as posting in the MSI forum, they suggested to check the drive was in AHCI mode in the bios which it is and to reset the EC settings by removing the battery.. which ive tried. Then to check the firmware version (i'm not sure where this is in the bios) but i think my firmware is up to date but the bios wasn't
My hdd is in the correct boot order and I can see files on the C: drive when I access the command prompt. the problem is boot order related to flashing the bios i think. i saw this explanation online
"This is indicating that your laptop doesn't have a boot device.
Your hard drive is not working and therefore you are unable to boot the computer. The computer is attempting to PXE boot through the network. Obviously you don't have an ethernet cable plugged in with a server on your network to boot from.
You need to check the boot order in the BIOS and ensure that the hard drive is in the boot order -- probably after the DVD drive"
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
