Hi James,

Did you try tapping F10 at boot, when you see the Vaio logo, as suggested in response to you PM request for help?

If this fails to work and also booting from the recovery disks it would suggest a faulty hard drive. Is the hard drive recognised by the BIOS (tap F2 at boot to enter the BIOS settings).

Do you not have an option to backup to an external drive, DVD or D drive (assuming that you have one. As you have already proceeded once with the restore procedure the chances are that all data has been erased.

If you no longer require the data then proceed by skipping all options until the recovery starts.

If you are unable to backup by any of the above methods then remove the hard drive, place it in a caddy, and see whether there is any data left by connecting this to another PC.
