HI RICHARD ,
don`t think that i gave up cause i didn`t
after searching in alot of bios forums i have found that :-
- flashing a sony vaio is like the russian roulette ..............no key combination works to enable the crisis recover .
- it`s a well known issue that in alot of vaio notebooks the external boot is disabled by default and no one was able to boot from usb and the sony support center didn`t provide any solution for this issue .
- in this pic taken from your original backup , the external boot is disabled by default and my modified bios depends on this backup image .
- i have attached this flash utility ( made specially for vaio notebooks ) to flash from windows
[attachment=2393]
don`t rename any file ,,,,,,i have renamed the bios files to flash properly ,,,,,,,,,,,you will just need to click run as administrator on the WBFLASH.exe then follow the instructions to flash the bios ( these bios files are the original one attached with the flash utility )
- if the previous one failed ,,,,,try this one [attachment=2394]
also just click on the WBFLASH.EXE and follow instructions.
here is an image from the original backup :-
i think flashing from windows is the last choice ,,,,,,,we just need the right flash utility and if the previous tools failed , i will give you another tools but try this first .
- ALSO NOTE THAT USING CRISIS DISK RECOVERY METHOD DIDN`T HAVE ANY RELATION WITH THE EXTERNAL BOOT OPTION OR ANY BOOT ORDER ........... THE CRISIS METHOD FORCE NOTEBOOK TO FLASH FROM USB WHATEVER THE SETTING ARE SELECTED AS IT`S DESIGNED TO FLASH BRICKED BIOSES ...................THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT NO KEY COMBINATION KNOWN FOR VAIO NOTEBOOKS TO MAKE THE CRISIS RECOVERY WORKS ,,,,,,,,JUST TRY THIS METHOD DROM WINDOWS AND I`M WAITING YOUR REPLY .
also i will be in a vacation from tomorrow and i thaught to fix your problem before traveling so post your reply and i will reply when i have some time or when i`m back again after 4 or 5 days .

ALSO I HAVE CONTACTED KIZWAN AN HE SAID THAT SAMOZEN HAS RECOVERED FROM BADFLASH USING NO COMBINATION KEYS ,,,,,,,,JUST REMOVE HDD , BATTERY ..etc THEN ONLY INSERT THE USB WITH THE CRISIS DISK THEN POWER ON AND IT WOULD FLASH AUTOMATICALLY ...............TRY THIS IF FLASHING FROM WINDOWS FAILED .
