Hello,
my sony vaio laptop shows vaio on startup then stops on a black screen with a
blinking underscore.i think this is because before i shutdown last time i
partitioned the drive into two parts and renamed the second part d: the disk
drive was named f. the main partition remained as c: and another one was named
x
for some reason. the trouble i'm having is restoring the partitions and drives
back to default so that i can use it again. i tried using the vista recovery
using the f10 button but each time i start the recovery and it formats the
drive
it restarts to install the factory default software but then stops again on
the
blinking underscore screen. will i need a vista recovery disk? as i did not
make
one when it was working as i had no disks. is there anywhere where i can
contact
sony as i have searched and cannot find a valid phone number for vista startup
problems and recovery cd replacements. i have tried starting in safe mode and
all the other modes but none of them seem to work.
