    Hi, i recently got a Sony Vaio TZ31MN/B. I downgraded to XP for work reasons after a lot of hassle... but finally, thanks to "Visioneer" here on these forums, he helped me set XP up on my new machine.

    Anyway, my laptop is now fully setup... so as usual (as i have done on my last 8 laptops) i make a clone of the hard drive using a bootable usb drive and Ghost. Now, when i try to boot from my key on the TZ it boots into Windows 98 for 1 quick second and then it restarts my machine... Has anyone ever seen this before... so annoying... I really need to be able to boot from this key... anyone got any suggestions, thanks in advance
