Hard Drive Help

[Leigen_Zero]

Hi, I recently installed a new 120Gb Hard drive in my sony VAIO PCG-K315b. When i went to install windows etc off the system recovery discs. I got the following problem:

The machine goes fine until a DOS prompt which is called:

ntsd\Sony\Recovery.exe -r

appears which gives the following messages:

If anyone can help me, even if the answer is n00bish like 'simply re-do your system recovery discs' it would be much appreciated.

Hi,

If you can make a new recovery set then I'd give it a go.

Better to re-use an old post than re-post.

My windows installation has just become corrupted so i cannot make a new system recovery disk, and the problem (which mysteriously went away last time) with my current disks has re-emerged. Is there anyway i can get hold of a system recovery disk.

Hi Leigen_Zero,

You can buy RDVD's @ Sony VAIO support hotline (only). It might your RDVD's are NOK.
