Hi. I have a sony vaio vpcf 11joe and i have wiped and erased all data but i am unable to restore c drive or restore complete system. I have tried to use the recovery discs i had previously made but i only get as far as disc 2 of 3. It stops at 27% complete with message disc may be corrupted. Please help.
If the Recovery Discs you made are corrupt, you have the following options in order of preference: -
1. Carry out a recovery from the Hard Drive Recovery Partition. By tapping F10 during boot-up you should be able to recover your Vaio from the hidden HDD Partition. Look at Page 9 of your Recovery Guide here: -

2. You could try copying the Recovery Discs you have made using another computer. If you have wiped the OS you cannot try making another set.
3. You can purchase a replacement set of discs from Vaio Support - they will charge for this service.
Always use the 'Restore Complete System' option
I have followed your instructions Blencogo but when restoring the computer's c drive it stops at 75% with error code 320. When I press OK I the then get error 330. Can you provide any further assistance please? Thank you.
