    Hi

    I bought a VPCZ13 full spec custom yesterday, I did some update for win7, installed some apps, and today it wont boot, it freeze when Win7 logo appears.
    I cant boot in recovery mode or using vaio recovery center, it freeze the same way before reach anything useful...

    I have no DVD reader, got a 2.5 HD instead, I'm trying to creater a usb pen with windows7 to recover that installation

    I called sony and tomorrow they will take the notebook to repair it... but I want to try something by myself this evening...
    any1 had the same problem here, or any1 knows what can I do? can it be a virus who prevents me to reach recovery partition?

    sry for bad english :)
