Hello,
I have a very old Sony VAIO E Series 11 SVE11125CXB 11.6" Laptop that used to have Windows 8 from what I remember. I'm wanting to put Linux Mint on it, but every time I power on the laptop, I cannot access the BIOS menu no matter what key combination I press, including pressing and holding the Vaio and Assist buttons while powering it on. The only thing I'm greeted with is a very quick flash of the Vaio logo and an immediate DOS prompt stating "Operating System Not Found". I cannot access any other commands.
Furthermore, I'm wanting to order a battery for it, but I have the option for a 10.8 V or 11.1 V battery, and I'm not sure which one to get. Also, I don't know a reputable place to buy batteries from.
I greatly appreciate any assistance given. Thank you!
