    About a week ago my vaio froze and windows could not reboot. So I used the recovery tool to restore my C Drive. The problem now is it only restores 32% and then it gives a error message. After that I cant do anything but have to switch of and start again.

    Any idea what can cause this?

    ok sorry I was at work and could not remember the error message. but now i have it, error 320 and error 330
    i dont understand it worked fine but vista could not install properly so I ran the recovery a few times and then the error message started.

    i hope its not hard drive related....
