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
