Notebook wont boot up!

[zero5uk]

Hi

My Notebook crashed itself and froze. I held down the power button to turn it off and got a blue screen with lots of details about system error and software problems.

Now when i try to start up i get 5 options:

start in safe mode
start in safe mode with netowrking
start in safe mode with command prompt

Last known good configuration

start windows as normal

None of them boot up the PC and i get that initial blue screen flashing up before it goes back to trying to reboot from fresh.

Iv also tried the F8 options with no luck.

Has my reliable Sony notebook of 3 years finally bought it? 😞

Thanks for the replys guys

My hard drive is partitioned (C+D) i wonder if installing P2P software on the non windows components D drive would have been sensible. Anyway, the problem is i never had recovery discs with the laptop. How can i go about getting some?

F10 doesnt seem to do anything at the start. F2 is bios and F8 advanced options but thats it.

I feel a bit sick to be honest as there are digital pictures i had not backed up (i do it every 6 months or so) not to mention my 3000 MP3's (though they are on D) i hope id only need to format C.

Another thing about my laptop is that i never got system restore to work at any stage.

I was running sophos anti-virus, so was it a virus that caused this kind of problem?

Hopefully you won't need to format 😧
Try VAIO-Link, you might just need to send your recept
