Bios Problems

wimwyers — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:26:18 GMT

Ok so, ive had this VGN-FW11E for a few years, I have never formatted it since i was scared to not get it running again, since sony doesnt provide _any_ driver-cd's with the laptop. (Ive made a recovery disk dont worry). Now after all these years, the thing has gotten as slow as .....

As I would need to run some CAD/PLC programms on it, winVista is not the option. My goal was today to install a dualboot of winXP and win7. My first problem occured yesterday whilst trying to install winXP.

1. I insert a bootable winXP DVD, everything goes right untill i get a bsod saying: STOP 0x00000007B, now after some googling i found out i should do the following:

1. On start up, press F2 to enter BIOS

2. Expand the "Drives" section

3. Go to "SATA Operation"

4. Change this from "RAID Auto/AHCI" to "RAID Auto/ATA"

This i found om some other site,but the problem is that when i actually get into BIOS, i only have like 2 options that i can actually adjust, TIME and DATE, other options are greyed out. There is NO "Drives" section, I dont see SATA ANYWHERE.

Im getting aggitated with this, any other PC ive had i could almost change anything in BIOS, CPU, clock speed etc... but with this sony i cant change anything:////

Why do I only have 2 options in bios that are adjustable, and why is there no Drives/SATA operation?????

Much help appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please sent me an e-mail if you someone answered to my problem, since I dont know if this forum will sent auto e-mail if so. thx

(Niet zeker of dit in het nederlands _moest_)

Nu heb ik zelf ook dit probleem. Het er een SSD in gezet, snelheid is aanzienlijk toegenomen. Alleen wordt niet de snelheid behaald die de SSD voorschrijft. Nu denk ik dat dit aan de instelling AHCI ligt. Deze moet je via de BIOS in kunnen stellen. Helaas kun je deze optie niet kiezen.

Ik weet ook niet of dit wel nodig is. Maar het lijkt mij in ieder geval wel handig om te kunnen zien welke instellingen default gehanteerd worden.

Heeft iemand ervaring met het zelfde probleem ?

Hi,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

You should be able to change the boot sequence via the recovery utililty.

To access the Recovery utility start your vaio & press F10 wen you see the Sony logo.
