What error message did you get on the BSOD?

Did you make a set of Recovery DVDs?

and i also got one later it was 0x000000D1

iastor.sys-adress FFFFF880013175B3 base at FFFFF880012EA000, date stamp

then i tryed to reboot the system i read on the hadbooklet that came with the laptop

by pressing the assist button for a few seconds  then i went into Restore complete system

then when it started up it said windows is runing for the first tiem then the error came saying

Hi lalbpun,

iastor.sys is the SATA Hard Drive Controller so I am beginning to think this may be a hard drive fault.

Your model type is not valid - do you have a VPCEC2S0E?  If so it is probably still within warranty and you should contact Vaio Support and tell them you have tried to recover the system and now you do not have an Operating System.  Tell them the Recovery Discs do not work.  They will probably change the hard drive and also check the motherboard while they have it in the workshops.

thank you .but i bought this laptop abou 6 months ago and i stped paying the insurense will they still help me ?

[lalbpun]

or is there any way you know to fix the driver ?

What country are you in?

Sony give a minimum of 12 months Warranty free.  This should cover you if the hard drive or motherboard fails.  You do not need to pay additional insurance.

Go Here: -

and enter your serial number to get contact details for Vaio Support.  They should be able to help you to get your Vaio working again.
