    Hi,

    I recently bought a Vaio FW11S.

    I tried to install OSX and it worked correctly a part from the display drivers so i removed it.

    I went to restore from the original boot partition but i can't.
    When i hit F10 at the Vaio screen it just boots up Vista.
    If I don't it goes into an Acronis OS selector loop.
    I also can't remove Acronis OS selector because it will not detect my Vista as an OS at all.

    I have access to the recovery partition and have made a backup copy to be safe but I did not make the recovery disks.

    Can anyone give me a hand in fixing this?
    Copy me the original Bootsector files and configuration from another FW11S or something?

    Thanks in advance!
