Question Media test failure

[CabeHolder]

I dropped my pc from my desk and it started saying Media test failure, exiting PXE ROM On my screen. I checked on google it said that my HDD is damaged, i replaced my HDD, but it still kept saying the same thing even after i replaced it. I dont think that my HDD is the problem.

so my question is if my HDD isnt the problem, then what is?

Check your boot preferences. Looks like your system is trying to boot from the network.

This could be an indication of a failed boot device. Replacing a HDD without an OS installed will also result in an error.

i can get into bios screen, i forgot to mention that i bought a HDD that already has an windows 11. My pc is very cheap / weak that i doubt that it has the requirments to run Windows 11.

Yeah, that won't work.

You need to boot from a newly created Win 10 USB, and do a fresh OS install on this drive.
