I have Sony Vaio NR Series Notebook VGN-NR480E; Model PCG-7133L; Service TAG: C3LRB5HK; Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct (English); Made in China.
I tried to recover my system from the recovery DVD (not shipped with the laptop but created by me) in all possible ways described below. But failed. I humbly request your help.

I sincerely request your help. (I failed to get any help here)
-
If you have not touched your hard drive - you can access the hidden partition recovery console by hitting F10 during the boot process and it will also restore back to the same condition as your recovery disks.

Still try the F10 - simply erasing cleans the visible portion of the hard drive - the hidden portion (usually about 10GB) will still contain the recovery application to restore your computer to the original condition from the factory.
Your only other option would be purchasing the disks from Sony. -
I tried that.
The "Error:305: 64. Then - Error: 319" remained here also. So - Failed.
