I did get warning messages that there was bad segments on hard drive but pc rescued itself.<BR /><BR />I then had the same thing again - windows won't load nothing works - so i tried to run the recovery tool again. The recovery tool also failed - it gets stuck at the please wait screen and never recovers. Now whenever i try to boot up the pc it automatically tries to run the recovery tool and gets stuck.<BR /><BR />I can get into BIOS but that is it. Can't get to F5.<BR /><BR />I think it is a hard drive problem but don't know how to get it put right.<BR /><BR />Can anyone help please - i am lost without my pc!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 08:47:04 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/recovery-hard-drive-problem/m-p/31949#M22044 hubbs 2007-02-19T08:47:04Z https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/recovery-hard-drive-problem/m-p/31950#M22045 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Hubbs,<BR /><BR /><BR />Welcome to Club Vaio, <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <BR /><BR />I sounds like you need to open a case with <A href="http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/contacts/contacts.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&amp;tp=vaio" target="_blank">Vaio-link</A> as it would appear your hard drive is damaged.. <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 09:10:37 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/recovery-hard-drive-problem/m-p/31950#M22045 Thalamus. 2007-02-19T09:10:37Z
