ok i got a sony vaio pcg-r505, its the style that came w/ a docking station and i misplaced it...my father made the mistake of installing xp on top of 2000 pro so we had to start all over w/ it. now, i gotta upgrade my bios to support the upgraded drivers and i dont have a floppy to finish up the operation. any ideas on how i can override this step? the driver that i need is for the graphics control cause rite now my xp runs in a small box and the rest of my screen is blank. any help would be great as i think ive thought of all my possibilities.

Usually the BIOS Files provided by a major Laptop manufacturer like Sony should be available to be used without a Floppy. This means that it should give you the option of downloading the BIOS File directly onto your Hard Disk Drive and running it from within Windows.
Once this is done and once you execute the BIOS File,Windows will reboot and the new BIOS version will be programmed in to the BIOS ROM Chip. You computer should now have the latest BIOS and you should be able to use the upgraded Driver and Files that you require.
Good Luck.
