(In reply to "[...] I'm the guy who screwed his Sony VAIO with the bad Phoenix mod [...] 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 would like to, but they won't let me. Is there any way to know if this missing mark nex to "Boot Fail Recovery" actually means that my particular notebook won't support the recovery boot thing? I mean, do you know if it means that? Thanks
