My Win98 installation CD (an original that came with a bought PC no longer
in existance) doesn't autoboot in the Sony ... it does in my main PC
though.
I get a similar thing happens with bootable CD's that CD Creator creates
...
they'll boot in the Armada or the Main PC but not in the Sony.

If I had more of an idea on how PC's work then maybe I could do that...

Again, can't boot from Win98 CD...

No PCMCIA network card support and without a floppy then no way of getting

Just trying this ... use Win2k CD to boot from (Win2k CD does autoboot in
the VAIO) - use that to create 11Gb FAT32 partition. Kill install once
partition is formatted and then reboot with recovery CD.
Seems that this is looking like it might work...
