Restoring system from boot up (VGN-SZ4MN)

[theboykidney]

Hi,
I got a killer virus that left me with no option but to format. couldn't use the restore system tool in windows as the virus instantly brought my machine to a standstill straight after boot up.
Im wondering how I can initiate a system restore from boot up?
cheers.

Hi theboykidney,

have you tried bootong into safe mode and then running a system restore to the point before you got infected.?

To boot into safe mode, Start your Vaio and when the Vaio logo appears press the F8 key repeatedly..

If that doesn't solve the problem then as long as it has hidden HD recovery partition has not been deleted you should be able to recover your Vaio back to the original installed OS and programs just as it was when you first used your Vaio.

To do this Start your Vaio and when you see the Vaio logo screen press F10 repeatedly this normally would start the recovery process..

Note: Running a Vaio recovery will delete all the files and folders on your vaio's HD drive..
