    Hi my Sony laptop vpceb1zoe 2 1/2 years old, I have had to have two new hard drives fitted at£150 a time it is getting to expensive.
    My problem now is boot up erro r cannot find operating system.
    Have tried my emergency discs 3 at the first disc it hangs at 18 percent
    It did seem to be running a bit hot.
    I think this all may have something to do with tring to do return to factory condition. That's when it all went wrong
    Please can someone help me
    I am retired and really can't afford another £150
    Thanks in anticipation

    download system rescue cd and re-build the boot partition. Had happened to me too. Problem is the bios - you need to repair the system, then boot into windows and update the bios to the latest one from sony's website.
