Yes. U can use that file link given by u. The R0231Q0 version is applicable for multiple VGN-CR models.
So yes. U can use it.

may be we cant do much on ACPI enable or disable inorder to fix acpi errors on linux. never mind.
but yes. my cpu supports vt. i get error on linux boot ( kvm: disabled by bios).
now i m running linux on my laptop. i dont have windows installed.
but u gave me exe file. i can only execute bios.exe file directly to auto run on windows. but now i m running linux.
since i m on linux i just need to make
1-bootable dos usb using HP tool .
2-with bios.bin file
3- and phlash.exe utility on it.
And type command " phlash bios.bin " in dos.
EDIT: i found R0231Q0.ROM file in unzipped folder.
so can i use .rom file instead of .bin file ???
so i will type command : " phlash R0231Q0.ROM " using dos usb right?
Try running flash.bat as admin on windows environment .
SWinFlash.exe seems a update tool on windows.

what i am saying is i am running linux OS not windows on my laptop.
To flash bios can i make bootable usb with DOS 98. ??
and copy phlash.exe and bios.rom file on DOS usb. and flash it using " phlash bios.rom " command ???
is it safe to flash ? or do i really need windows to install on my laptop ??
I flashed using Dos usb .
I m getting this error in phlash16 utility
" Specified module not found in the rom or image."
May be vgn-cr11gh model is not mentioned in ur downloaded R0231Q0 bios file.
But i m using same bios version.
Anyways i tried with SMCMOS using nvram to enable vtx and its enabled now.
Many Thanks for your efforts.
