Hi sorry for the very late reply,
i have managed to get all of my data using ubuntu and have transferred it all to an external hard drive.
I then tried to a re-install by pressing f10 as suggested in my Vaio manual that came with my laptop i have tried this several time but i get a screen that says Vaio recovery tools are being launched followed by a screen saying copying of the file failed if i exit this or press okay my computer just shuts down.
I have tried every option in F8 and my computer flashes a blue screen with an error message to quick for me to read and then restarts
P.S my Laptop did not come with any CD/DVD i order to re-install
any help would be much appreciated thank you
