Hi pollyh and welcome to Club Vaio.

Can we have some more information please?

What model Vaio do you own?
When upgrading, what operating system are you going from (XP or Vista HP) and what version of Vista are you trying to install ( Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, etc)?
What disc have you used to upgrade? Have you bought a retail Vista upgrade disc? Or have you used the Vista Anytime Upgrade disc?
Have you paid for the upgrade?
Where did you get the COA License Product Key from?

What Upgrade have you installed and where did it come from?

Sorry but it is difficult to help if you don't tell us much!
