Sony Vaio issue - please help
Hi.
I have Sony VAIO VPCEB33FM laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium OA 64 bit here. It belongs to my friend. It got infected with Pc performance & stability analysis report virus. He took it to the store where he bought it and was told that it would be $ 400 to fix it (laptop is not even 1 year old so it seemed like a lot of money). I offered to help since I got rid of several Trojans, malicious soft. etc with success before. Because there are no important documents I wanted to reinstall OS from 3 recovery discs - created by Geeksquad that came with laptop. 1st dvd worked, PC asked for 2nd dvd. I put in the drive, hear it spinning and then it spits it out. Tried several times, even tried dvd 3 of 3 thinking they might have wrote #2 on #3 disc and #3 on #2. Didn't help. I restarted computer. Vaio logo comes on, black screen says OS not found. I restared again and as soon as VAIO logo came on I used F10 to load Vaio Care Rescue. Enter. Starting Windows screen etc... Started Recovery vizard, skipped data rescue, started recovery. Computer shows Formatting to 2% and Error: 320 message operation was not completed comes on. In hardware diagnostics checked check and repair HD. No errors were detected in 2 hours scan, also quick test result: HD and CPU work normally, no errors detected on this VAIO computer. I tried install again and selected Factory condition. Result: same 320 error. Went to option #2 Custom recovery resize C: and create D: - error 320 again. Went to option 3 - Custom recovery - C: drive only. Error: 1. If I go back I see Current: Partition 1, 2, 3, New: Recovery (10.2 GB blue=unaffected), System (0.1 GB red=recovered area) C: drive (287.8 GB red=recovered area).
Any idea what I could do to fix this? Would Windows 7 HomePremium Recovery CD solve anything? I am desperate, please help.
