I have recently purchased a sony vaio laptop with vista home premium for my wife. Every time she starts it up a small window opens saying register at club vaio for the latest greatest blah blah blah. It pops up every time the computer is started...
I had windows xp in one partition of my hdd and I decided to install vista in another partition of the same drive.Vista didn't gave me a 2nd option after installing them and I run EasyBCD to inform Windows Boot Manager that there is an xp operating system in drive d: (vista are in drive c:).
Indeed I was presented with a second boot option but that 2nd option doesnt work.I get the message :
Windows Boot Manager
Windows Failed to start
A recent hardware or software change might be the cause
...blah blah blah
I'll post here the EasyBCD 'View Settings' Display Mode (detailed) :
Hey, I just recieved my 64-bit Vista Home Premium disc, and after 1 1/2 of trying to figure out why I was getting a PXE-E61 message, I hooked up an external DVD drive and it's installing now! But does anyone know why the error (now I know something wrong with my DVD/CD drive) that said "PXE-E61 blah blah blah, try reconnecting cables" would come up, but didn't when I plugged in the external happened? Thanks.
