Hi BigDaveOwl,
welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:
Have you tried restoring your vaio using the hidden HDD recovery partition.?
To do this restart your vaio and when you see the Vaio logo press the F10 key repeatedly..
This should start the recovery process using the hidden HDD recovery partition.
Then follow the recovery instructions to complete the process
If this does not work you can purchase a set of recovery discs from Vaio support which should allow you to restore the original Vaio supplied OS and applications..
You can find the contact details for vaio support by either clicking Support at the top of this page or by using the following link:Vaio support
Under Log-in option 1: Enter your vaio models serial number, which you should find on the bottom of your Vaio.
Then click Log-In
Once logged select Get In Touch
I'm not sure if you can still boot your Vaio?
If you can, then you can recover your Vaio from the hard disc recovery partition or make recovery discs yourself.
Have a look at Pages 6 - 10 of your Recovery & Troubleshooting Guide here: -
ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Manuals/RecoTS/2009Q3_TRG_EN.pdf
If you cannot boot your Vaio, look at Page 9 on how to recover your Vaio using F10 at boot time.
However, if your Hard Disc is corrupted and you have not made a set of Recovery Discs, you will have to buy a set of Recovery Discs from Sony Vaio Support. Go here and enter you Vaio's Serial Number for contact details.
