HELP - SYSTEM RESTORE ISSE

[Golfmag2]

The operating system on my Vaio stopped working. In trying to restore, I messed with the partitions I think.

I bought new System Recovery disks from Sony, but half way through the restore process, I get a message which says "failed to read the image file". The process then aborts.

I found a thread on this elsewhere but in ended without a solution.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try the advanced recovery

Thanks - how do I do this? I have already tried the three options for receovery given in the System Recovery disks.

What model Vaio do you have..?

Hi Golfmag2

What model Vaio do you have..?

The one that's broken is an FE28H. I saw that you were trying to solve the same problem on another thread. I must have tried the system recovery twenty times, but it always ends up with the same message.

Many thanks in hope!

Hi Golfmag2,

Have you tried re-setting the BIOS Defaults first?

Hi Golfmag2,

Have you tried re-setting the BIOS Defaults first?

 

I have thanks, the system recovery still won't work afterwards, most common message is "failed to read the image file"

It's a bad disk then, I would contact VAIO Link and explain the problem with the disk

God, believe it or not, the System Recovery disks eventually worked. System now rebuilt and functioning.

Thanks all for your help.
