    let me say first hi to all of you since this is my first post it's great to be hear and now my BIG problem
    i have an acer 5920g and when i decide to install win 8 form win 7 i decide to format my hdd with
    paragon partition manager all went well and i begin to install win 8 or i thought i would
    PXE-E61 : Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
    operating system not found

    this was the first message i check the dvdrom maybe it has some problem so i decide to make a usb stick
    with the os change the boot priority same thing it stuck to this screen
    [​IMG]
    then i replace the ram same result as a finall solution i asked a friend of mine that we had buy the same laptops
    to bring his acer and i use a different hdd as a precaution maybe my old one had a problem and removed my friends
    hdd and install win 8 to his acer 5920g by the way whn i power up my friends acer 5920g the same message appeared
    PXE-E61 : Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
    operating system not found

    but almost immediately when i press any key the iintallation of win 8 began and finished
    then i take the hdd with the fresh installed windows 8 and put it back to my acer and same thing same screen stuck there
    [​IMG]
    so any suggestion any solution in how to raise my acer 5920g back from the dead will be much appreciate it
    please excuse me for my bad english.

    If you want to have an OS thats got all apps like win8 try Android x86. runs smokin fast and can do almost anything a tablet can minus the gps ans accelorometer.
