    Question for Fzeven

    Hi Fzeven :)

    I'm the guy who screwed his Sony VAIO with the bad Phoenix mod. I've been reading up on things, and there is some talk about the Phoenix recovery feature (that makes it possible to boot into a crisis floppy disk when the BIOS is fried like mine) being something that can be disabled or enabled in the BIOS file.

    I took a look at the BIOS image for my Vaio, and under "Multiboot III", there is no asterisk next to "Boot Fail Recovery". Do you know if this means that the recovery option is disabled, and that I will therefore not be able to boot into a crisis floppy no matter what I do? I can't test it since there's no floppy drive in the laptop, and I don't want to buy a USB floppy drive if it can't be used anyway. I've made a bootable cd from the crisis floppy image, but I have so far not been successful in booting into it. But then again, I think it has to be a floppy anyway.

    Thanks :)

    You must use latest afudos 2.2.9 and use the following syntax command

    AFUDOS /iBIOS.ROM /pbnc /n (where BIOS.ROM is an example of a bios file name).

    Removed this post as further testing eliminates bios problems.
