@KimmyH22 -- Pxe- e61: media test failure, check cable / Pxe- m0f: existing pxe rom. /
Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed
Your motherboard can try to "boot" from several sources:]
- 3.5-inch "floppy-disk
- CD/DVD
- USB memory-stick
- disk-drive or SSD
- via your Ethernet cable, but only when it has made a connection to a "boot-server" on your local network
So, it is PXE ("Pre-Execution-Environment") that item #5 uses to load Windows.
But, your computer has not been able to make a connection to the boot-server, and the "hint" is that your Ethernet cable is not connected to that boot-server.
The fact that your computer is trying to boot from #5, above, means that it has NOT been able from boot from #1 through #4, where #3 is what your computer normally boots from.
So, this strongly implies that the motherboard cannot read anything from your disk-drive.
It could be that either the "data" or the "power" cable is not properly connected to the motherboard, the power-supply, and the disk-drive.
It could mean that the disk-drive is NOT responding at all -- that it has "completely failed", and must be replaced.

unfortunately this does not indicate what to do / try
@KimmyH22 you can try this
"Network Path Not Found" or "PXE Error" Appears Before Computer Starts
Hard disk error displays before the computer starts in Windows 10
Error: The Boot Selection Failed Because a Required Device Is Inaccessible (Windows 8, 7)
If you have to open the computer, it may be complicated
In this case, you should perhaps consult a specialist.

@Prométhée -- unfortunately this does not indicate what to do / try
Please time the time to reread the previous response, which directly states that the disk-drive must be replaced.
