    Sony SVF was wiped clean with first level DOD cleaning.(one time over wright) Will not accept restore disks. Have no other 64bit software; Could the problem be in the BIOS? Need to flash? Sony not cooperate in giving flash software or instruction Would appreciate your ideas and direction.

    Did you delete the partitions? I think the UEFI BIOS types want the partitions numbered in a certain way. Try to Google it.

    The drive was totally cleaned and wiped out the partitions. Can you suggest a Partition Program for Win 8?
