You may want to open up the slot that the hard drive resides in and make sure that it is connected into its socket correctly. If you've done this...you should try:

1. Power the notebook on, and immediately begin tapping F2 to get into the notebook BIOS.
2. In the BIOS use the arrow keys to select the Boot Menu.
3. In the Boot Menu will be "Boot Priority Order" and below that will be a list of devices. The first in the list should be "IDE 0".
4. If "IDE 0" is not the first, use the arrow keys to highlight "IDE 0"
5. Use the designated keys to move "IDE 0" to the top.
6. Press the F10 key and press the enter key to save and reboot the computer.

Asus got boot problem, it says check cable connection and PXE - MOF: exiting intel PXE ROM and smthn about atheros boot system please help
A PXE error typically means that the Boot Priority in the BIOS is set incorrectly and the computer is trying to boot from the LAN port.
Make sure that the hard drive (HDD) is the first boot device and the LAN port is the last boot device.
Atheros is the name of the Ethernet port driver.
See the discussion about Windows 7 and a solution for Windows 8 as well.

Error Message PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM. what does this mean?
That means your hard disk is not being detected. PXE is a network boot, which is typically used in business environments. Check your BIOS settings and ensure your hard disk is being detected. If it is, make sure your boot order is set correctly. Network boot (PXE) should be set to the last item in the sequence. If the hard disk is properly being detected and an OS is present, you should never see PXE.

If your hard disk is not showing up, power your PC down (unplug the power) and check the cables to make sure they are seated.

My gateway says "Check cable connection!PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM. No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key". What should I do?
Sounds like the hard drive isn't getting power,the data cable to the drive isn't connected,or the drive controller on the motherboard is toast(I'm a novice tinkerer,not an expert).
