Anybody have Sony boot floppy disk?

Archived from groups: comp.laptops,comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I got this Sony Vaio PCG-N505X, and I want to boot
it from CD.

It doesn't seem to check for CD device at all. It is positioned
as first boot device in BIOS, but it still boots from HD.

Since it doesn't work, I want to boot from a floppy and
then run win98se setup from CD.

Standar Win98 boot floppy does not load Sony's CD ROM
drivers (CDROM model PCGA-CD51), so I BADLY need
Sony boot floppy disk (which will make CD show up).


I googled a lot but i did not find this boot floppy...

I found this site
http://ciscdb.sel.sony.com/perl/sw [...] =PCGN505VX,
but nothing there... Btw, I need Win98SE drivers for my CDROM...


Any kind of help is welcome,
thanks,
mvucic

p.s. (FDD model is PCGA-UFD5.)

There is no Sony boot floppy for the PCGA-CD51 - that drive is
detected automatically by the BIOS as an internal drive and any
Windows boot floppy with CD capability will read it.
