Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba Portege R830-S8332 off eBay to replace my Satellite R945-P440 with a cracked screen. When I opened it I realized it had a proprietary SSD cable, so I took it apart and stole the regular SATA cable from the Satellite and plugged it into the motherboard where the original cable was. I plugged in a hard drive with a windows 10 installation on it and turned the thing on, but I got presented with Intel boot agent instead, which gave me this:
“PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, Check Cable.”
Booting into the bios, the hard drive is being recognized, but I just can’t get it to boot from it, I keep getting the Intel boot agent instead.
Yes, I have tried another OS drive (a Samsung SSD with windows 11, the drive from the Satellite) same issue.
Am I doing something wrong? Did I not attach the cable properly? I could really use some help as I have absolutely no clue what is going on.
This is a link to the original cable that came with the laptop:
