my sony laptop ( vgn-fz70b ) shutdown with no reason, all of a sudden when i try to restart i saw a blue screen of death and afterwards it shutdown and restart again.i try to press f8 to open in safe mode and to check what is the problem but unfortunately i cant access to safemode.i try to reinstall again the os but when i am in the part that choosing the drive i didnt see any drive.
<no drives were found >and < click load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation >.i stop downloading cause i cant see any harddisk on their.and i check bios setup..

boot priority order:
1:usb optical drive (*)
2:internal optical drive
3:floppy disk drive(*)
4:usb flash (*)
5:usb hard disk drive (*)
6:internal hard disk drive
7:network

there is no change values for all of these which supposed to be is to set them who is 1st,2nd,3rd.

*-means this drive is available when external device boot is enable.

please help to solve this problem.and i really appreciate your response..thank you very much

Welcome to the site rcec1!

You need to go into your bios and change your boot order, or simple remove all cd's and usb devices from the laptop. If you do go into the bios, make your boot list this:

• internal optical drive
• usb optical drive (*)
• usb flash (*)
• floppy disk drive(*)
• internal hard disk drive
• usb hard disk drive (*)
• network

To get into your bios, the screen when you initially turn on your laptop will tell you what key to press to get into Setup. Press that key and look for boot priority in your bios. Make sure to save your settings when you are done and not to change any other settings while you on in here.

Also, while you are installing Windows, make sure that you only have your mouse, network cable (if you have one) should be the only things connected. Having the usb drives might screw up the windows setup and give you these errors.

Hope this helps!
