A "media test failure, check cable" means your hard disk failed. The bios can not locate the boot sector of the hard disk to begin loading the operating system. "Operating system not found" means windows can't load because the Bios can not find the operating system (because the hard disk failed).
This is pretty much an unrecoverable error in terms of fast fixes. You can take the hard disk to a data recovery service if you need to retrieve important data or files.
Portable computers can suffer from bad connections easily, so the first thing you should check are that all cables and other connections are tight and seated firmly.
It is trying to bbot up using network boot because it cannot find OS on the hard drive, you can turn off the network in the BIOS setup page, but more likely you have problem with the hard drive or the OS is corrupted.
Open BIOS and configure your boot devices priority. First boot device should be the hdd. Also check if the laptops see the hard disk, i think your hard disk have a problem and thats why laptop wants to boot from network.
check connections of hard drive. 2nd check boot order in Bios, remove Lan or network boot from top order. 3rd choice if not solved reset bios by removing cmos battery and putting back in to clear it.
Your hardirve is damaged or your partition is corupted to fix this problem reinstall windows and make a new paetition or check inside your computer to see if a cable from the hardrive is desconnected.
