LOL!<br><br>Sorry for the no update. I ended up using that nLite program that allows you to make a custom ISO. I tried to install the drivers using f6 but the doggone computer would never read the external floopy I borrowed from a friend. Once I found the right driver, I got it installed. Now, just for object lesson purposes I burned a disk of all the drivers he needed and gave it back to him with XP installed but no sound, no ethernet, etc since Windows would not detect any of that and Ubuntu...well...did. ;)
<br><br>I respect choice. If you did not like Linux...fine. But let's remove this nasty everything works with windows rumor. The out of the box installed experience on the SONY is better with Ubuntu than it is with XP or Vista.

The Phoenix bios in the system is pretty basic. About the only things you can change is the password and the boot order.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div>On Dec 10, 2007 8:43 PM, Jim Campbell <

Also, check the sony website if there have special drivers for the SATA
or EIDE controller. I think you can put those on a USB drive and load
them when installing Windows. It will ask you if you want to load any
SCSI or RAID drivers.<br>
<br>
For this I actually have a USB floppy drive which mounts as drive A. It
has saved me countless times. However, a regular USB drive might work
as well but don't quote me on that.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Those are both good ideas. :)<br><br>Remember to check the bios thing, too, though. There might just be something that you can toggle on there, and your problem will be gone.<br>
