Thanks for taking time to help Rich. I'll keep trying. Might just have to delete everything and then reinstall each individual item.

ah probably should have mentioned that my CD drive is broken so I am running the recovery CD through an external CD drive via the USB. I did what you said and changed it to the USB CD drive in the list (not really sure if that was what I should have done) then ran the disc and clicked on recover operating system, it restarted but all was still the same. arrrgggggggggg. Oh the disc was sealed and had never been opened so could it still be corrupt? its loading fine and gives me the option to recover op system but just does not do it.

Cheers Claire

How can I restore my Vaio PCV-V1 back to its factory settings

Hi,

I have recently bought a new pc and want to give my old PC to my son. We are trying to restore it back to its factory settings and have used Vaio recovery and documentation disc but this just reinstalls applications and on the option to recover the operating system this just shuts down and restarts but nothing has happened. I have tried Alt PF10 at start up but no joy and I have just tried PF10 and again no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions?

CD/DVD Driver suddenly not working

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 14:05:38 GMT

My CD/DVD driver will suddenly not read software CD's or music CD's. I have checked the device's properties and it says that the device status is 'working properly' but clearly it is not. Has anyone got any ideas on what it could be before I take it in for possible repair?

Cheers

Hi Rich
Hard disk drive. I am currently transferring photos and videos into my D drive as I have loads of free space there, but it is a slow task and because my C drive is full I can not add or download any more files.

Hi sorry yes I think its the V1. Thanks for the document, it says not to do the upgrade yourself do you know if this means I need to get Sony qualified technicians to do this?
