My son has dropped off this PCG-7185L Viao laptop, which does not appear in any of the Sony product listings. The disk was bad, and I have put in a new one. All I have is 64 bit Win 7, and the computer will not accept or work with it.
I am able to get it to accept an XP SP3 disk, so I think that this computer is 32 bit? Can anyone confirm that please. I get the BSD trying to install the XP disk.
Microsoft will not let me download an ISO image of win 7 32 bit, saying that my serial number is OEM and that I must call SONY. Sony is not going to help.
If anyone has any idea on how to proceed I will be delighted to hear it. Thank you very much in advance.
Ian
