Hi shadow971959 and welcome.

The usual procedure is to insert the first Recovery Disc -> Turn on the Vaio -> Press the ASSIST button -> Choose 'Start from Media'

At the Vaio Care Rescue screen you can then select the 'Troubleshoot' and 'Recovery' options.

hi thanks for the advice/help, but that doesnt work either just getting black screen and mouse pointer

my disks may be damaged but i am not getting a message saying so, hdd checks out fine, might have to buy another set of original set up disks and try that.
