    If it has a Phoenix BIOS then NO.

    If it has an AMI or Award Bios then yes if he uses the proper flash utility
    (AMI: Afudos or Afuwin, AWARD: Awdflash or Award WinFlash)to make the back-up.

    Try changing the Operating System in the e-support page. Sometimes there is no bios update for Vista but there is one for Windows 7. They might not have a selection for Windows 7 either for older lappys too.

    This was true for my Vaio-Z, they made bios updates for issues with Windows 7 like the virtualisation unlock and Bit-locker isssues with Windows 7 but not Vista.

    It might also have an Insyde bios too, and no I don't know the parameters of messing with them.

    If you can find a bios update for ANY VGN-NR series, I will be able to build a bios for you...

    I need:
    1. Your backup BIOS (use Backup Bios Tool)
    2. RW Everything ACPI Report
    3. Source Link to ANY NR-Series BIOS update
