cant boot my sony caio laptop, seems something wrong with bios,
1. turn it on and vaio name appears, then it goes to a black screen with the cursor(not the mouse, like on DOS) on the top left, if i press any key nothing happens until i press the SHIFT key, then the word GRUB appears many times filling on the whole screen.

what ive tried:
1.turn computer off and press assist button, takes me to vaio rescue, where i can backup my data then restore to factory settings, but once that was done i came back to the same thing
2. on that vaio rescue under tools i can check hard drive, it shows me 3 partitions and i checked all 3 and didnt get any errors.
3. tried inserting windows dvd, ubuntu dvd, after powering it on nothing happens and go back to black screen with cursor on top left
Observations:
1 when i power it on i can press f2 takes me to setup, it looks weird but i had never been to the bios on thus machine before, it says Aptio setup utility - american megatrends inc.
is there the original sony bios?

2 when i go to boot sequence , for priority, it doesnt show me dvd/cd option, it says
external device
internal hard disk drive
network

under boot configuration to eneable or disable
external device boot
network boot

i tried changing these settings with no effect...

Suggestions?
