1272544 2012-04-28 13:05:00 Nope its only a 2.9 MB ( about) file, a full Windows 7 ISO is approx ( for a 64 Bit) 3.2GB wainuitech (129)
1272545 2012-04-28 23:27:00 I have killed the problem. Friend of mine had a copy of Windows 7 with a edited ei.cfg file, loaded it and rebooted and did a clean install. I had already downloaded the 64bit drivers off the Sony site and all is now ok.

Thanks for those that replied.

1272546 2012-04-29 01:01:00 Oh and by the way as far as I know Partition Magic and Windows 7 are incompatible unless W7 is installed on a standard NTFS partition. If you have the W7 bootloader then Partition Magic is going to screw things up.

1272547 2012-04-29 01:58:00 The version of PM that I was using wasn't the latest version though I have successfully used it many times on Toshiba laptops all running 64bit Windows 7 Pro.

Before I saw your message though, I had downloaded the most recent version and used it on the Sony with out any further issue's, yes, I know, I am a glutton for punishment........but it worked this time so maybe the older version of PM and Sony/Windows 7 Home Prem didn't agree with each other.

Main thing is that it appears that the world is not going to end today.

1272549 2012-04-29 23:43:00 Could you replace the hd then install win7 or Ubuntu then add the hd then wipe it?
and what is the point of any of that.:(
