    Hey everyone,

    New owner of an SZ-120 here and I followed sony.com's instructions for doing a "fresh" install of XP and was wondering how to get into the BIOS to turn on what's needed for turning on the Secuirity Platform Chip

    I've tried "Delete" and "F1" and "F8" to no avail

    Thanks in advance

    PS: is there a fix for the XP USB Dualcore problem other than making a support incident on Microsoft? ( http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896256)
