Sony Vaio VGN-NS130E Restore

I restored my sony Vaio from some uncertain problem.. I have called Sony and they suggested me purchasing a hard disc from them for recovery.. They have on board recovery but that didn't work. anywho.. $50 later I am still getting the same window that i got from recovering from the onboard recovery tool.
Ok.. so here I am again.. Now that all of the CD's have ran.. this is the window that I get.
In top left a small window "" Titled.. Windows setup.. Windows is now setting up the following items" Factory Process 1.
Ok then a bigger window that has not gone past 0%
And it says.. Titled'' Preparing to Install Windows
The programs and/or drivers are now being installed.. Time varies depending on the size and number of prgrams and/or drivers. During the process various install windows may appear. If action is required , follow the instructions to complete the install..
The there is a progess bar that will not move off of 0%.
and under the bar is says.. Copying software to the C: drive...
Nothing has restarted.. This window is at a full standstill

Now.. There was absolutley nothing wrong with this laptop when this started. It just said to repair with Windows Vista CD even though the Vaio doesn't come with one.
They told me that the recovery disc comes with the Windows Vista Partition.

Ok.. so when I try and just restart.. I just get a small window with the red and X on it
Windows needs to reinstalll before proceeding.

HELP PLEASE !!!

 

I had this exact same problem with the exact same laptop and the only thing I could get to work was install a new drive and new operating system. Sony tech support told me I had a missing file that was causing the problem. The recovery disc it came with would not work and I couldn't get the disk that came with the laptop to install. When I replaced this drive into another laptop for my daughter and loaded it with Windows 7 everything worled fine.

 

Are u suggesting if I purchased a new Operating system like windows 7.. I may get it work ?
And do u mean a new hard drive /

 

Thats the only way I could get mine to work. I am a Chem E by trade and not a computer expert by any means. I would never suggest that to you. It seems we had a similar problem on the same lappy and sony recovery wouldn't work. Maybe you could try a clean install with your Vista disk instead of recovery mode?

 

I got the recovery disc and was told the windows vista was on that. I do not have a seperate disc so I am not sure what disc it is on.. There is a set of 3.
I asked for a seperate one but was told it was in that set

 

thanks for trying to help

 

It seems like Vista was on my recovery disk as well and this was the reason I could not reinstall Vista on my drive with the disk.

 

yes... I am trying to get a disk from Microsoft.. I know if u have a key u can order a disk
