Sony VGN-FZ140e win 7 Install problem
Hello All and thanks for all the great advice!
Well, my dilemma is that I can't install Windows 7 from ISO that has worked countless times on PC's and other lappies, the install states that i have a hardware problem but doesn't tell me what it is. This installation is for a neighbor of mine and he doesn't know jack about computers besides xp is better than vista and he hates vista with a passion. So he agreed to put windows 7 on this Sony Vaio VGN-FZ140E of his, only problem is that damn hardware problem during installation that makes the process go into an eternal intallation process loop. Phoenix bios version R0050J7 is crap since you can't change anything other than date, time, security, and boot sequence......crap. Anyhow, any advice would be great, I've search the net and this board.....little or no info on this particular problem let alone the installation of windows 7 on this lappy that came originally with vista home premium
Thanks for your attention
Ken
the underside of this lappy says that its a Sony PCG-384L also so I don't know which model applies
