Subject: Re: L50 BIOS
I haven't resolved the problem, but it's not for lack of trying. I
think I successfully reinstalled the BIOS, but it didn't do any good. When
booting I now get a "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when
ready." message. Inserting a system disk and then pressing a key has no
effect. It just returns to the same message. The BIOS itself shows no hard
disk present and will not let me highlight or change the hard disk setting.
I still welcome suggestions, but I fear that my next post will be
one offering a L50 for sale for parts. (I just got a Sony Picture Book)
