This supposedly is a workaround for the BIOS/floppy/slipstream fixes. I can't confirm that either work, but they may be worth a shot. Sony really decided to screw everyone over by putting AMI Aptio BIOS' into their boards.
Your BIOS does have a Virtualization option so you could create a virtual XP machine within 7, but that's no good for games.
Hmm... I tried the slipstream floppy utlity but didn't seem towkr... and I was looking at the second link and I don't really get what they mean by run it with a -a switch: iata76_enu.exe -a.
At this point I can only say that I'm probably doing all of these wrong or there's just no solution to the new Sony Vaio. Maybe I should buy a windows xp disc and do it instead of using Windows Xp SP3 even though it's supposed to work...
