Hi natural26 and welcome.

What model Vaio do you have?

Are you reinstalling the original system using a set of Recovery DVDs or are you using the Hard Drive Recovery?

If you give us a bit more information, perhaps someone may be able to help.

i am using the hard drive recovery which was under the sony help program and it said that it would reset the local disk drive c to its factory settings but stopped after the blue bar completed then asked me to reinstall but now cant access anything on the laptop so don't know how to restart the installation

When you turn the Vaio on, do you see the Vaio Logo screen?

If yes, try tapping F10 to restart the Recovery and choose "Recover Complete System".

Recovery procedures are different for each model - what Vaio Model do you have?

[natural26]

Hi natural26,

Here is the Troubleshooting and Recovery Guide for your model: -

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/manuals/RecoTS/2010Q1_TRG_EN.pdf

Go to Page 9 and follow the section for 'Recovering your Computer when you cannot start Windows' and the bit about 'To Recovery your System from the Recovery Partition'

At the Vaio Logo tap F10 repeatedly.

Select 'Recover Complete System' -> 'Skip' -> 'Next'.
