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.

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