I just purchased a Sony Vaio PCG-71912L laptop from Craigslist. Before completing the transaction, I made sure it could boot into the pre-installed Windows, check the RAM, and HD size. Everything seem normal. However, I wanted a clean install of Windows. Windows installs fine, no issues. After going through the steps of making a user-name, setting up the time zone, and configuring updates, it prepares the desktop and does the final reboot. This is where the problem comes in. It goes through the BIOS check, after the splash screen it tries to load Windows (white blinking cursor), then the laptop recycles to the BIOS again. It will continue this process until I turn it off. I can reinstall, but the process will happen all over again. One thing that struck me as bizarre; there's no 100MB system partition. What can I do??
