Re: [PLUG] Help installing to VAIO SuperSlim...

On top of Bill sugestion check the laptop's bios for the boot sequence.
If it is labeled something c only then you cannot boot from the floppy
or cd until you change it to floppy cdrom c: or floppy c: or whatever.
Usually there is a prompt on boot that tells you haw to get into your
bios setup.
