Sony Vaio VPCEA1S1E Windows installation error

Comments

  • HI!D
    I seem to follow this Venus (Lisa) around..;/
    I have posted this thingy in pchelpforum.com
    SAME THING with my father's VAIO!
    But i know for sure getting to this point was an accident, not an attempt to install win..
    Because i left it in perfect health after the monthly preventive check-up, off, unplugged, closed..and no one else has touched it but one of my fathers guests..and i don't know how, but he managed to get to the point " we are ready with your system preparation and now SETTING UP WINDOWS FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Dzn! Dzn! Dzn! "..and have just then, obviously, noticed smth went wrong along the way and he should probably have read what he had been answering "Yes" to..after which he have just snuck out without saying a word..and i don't think he was packing an installation disc/so not the type/.. left me with nothing but assumptions 'cuz when i've tried to recover the last steps made he just lied to me. plain & simple..
    and the win won't start and "..cannot proceed..restart.." msg over and over after every poor attempt and every disc i'v Plugged in there - Live CD, any other Recovery but the vaio's one, and logging into almost any mode..
    i don't wanna disassemble the thing to get the hard out..
    and i've found a bunch (pretty smal one tho') of usb or cd booting "options"
    and it feels like i have read every f* thread & article to the very f* last one of the tiny-lettered-!!!!!!!s...
    but i think my biggest chance of any data recovery is
    the vaio genuine win 7 home premium restore cd
    and after that - EaseUS data recovery wizard + 1T ext. drive..
    but
    Actually
    I really don't know and I'm really still searching for The One (chance of salvation)..

    Can any one tell me is there OR which is the best recovery app that doesn't need an OS and can do its magic from a flash drive or a cd or through network /WiFi/ or with Cat5 crossover cable..???
    Please!
    I'm seriously aging here!..
    And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
    can someone
    PLEASE
    show me The Way to a VAIO Win 7 Home Premium (&/or restore) Disc?
    PLEASE!... _ "[_ _]" _

    Ooh - P.S.-
    1- @ some point there were some actual troubleshooty testing activity with a strange outcome -
    it's all good - it says - but u have recently plugged some sort of a media device /cam or...../ and that was the Breaking Point.
    remove it?!? - it says - and reboot! ... !! ... !!!!!!
    2- because my complete unawareness of VAIO i'm totally in the dark here.. but i think it might have smth like an internal, Built-in recovery disc..and i see a red lettered ASSIST button here /along a line of unknown stuff/..
    which i hope could come in handy - if i somehow learn its Fn's,,
    but also may be the root of all evil here..if unnecessary played with..

    &3-
    I am very sorry
    but I'm too tired to be "simple clear & minimalistic" writer here
    pls - look beyond the obnoxiousness
    and share your wisdom with me.

    Thank you!

    and Hengis from the PCHF staff sent me here..

    So - Thank you for the X17-58997.iso link! That was great!!!

    but ¿@ ¿¿¿can any one tell me is there OR which is the best recovery app that doesn't need an OS and can do its magic from a flash drive or a CD or through network /WiFi/ or with CAT5 crossover cable..??? part?
    it's just..I'm not sure how every single attempt of mine (with a bootable disc) affects the chances of recovering the data?
    because that's the main goal here!..not having to reinstall everything all over..will just be a perk **,
    on the other hand -i've already crossed the line "if there was another option - someone would have already told me @ it by now"..
    So - u are not my last hope - u are my hope on borrow.

    Not sure what you are trying to do. If recovering data, I would use the Try Ubuntu option using the Ubuntu Live CD. No chance of overwriting your data using this option, you can then save the data to DVD or an external USB drive.

    Have the lost the Recovery Partition?
  • I think the Recovery Partition is still there..but i have to check 2 be sure..
    i may have seen it on some of the other machines @ me..
    Thank you very much!
    i'll find that Ubuntu Live CD..
    and i'll get back to u..tomorrow **,

    UNFORTUNATELY EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard WinPE!!!
    doesn't give you an
    "INCLUDE JUST 1 (e.g. the last modified) COUNTERPART OF ANY IDENTICAL-FILE-GROUP IN THE SELECTION"
    option..nor any Easing your work in that direction files order..since it can find me any file ever even smelled a Formatted drive..and offers to recover 4 27X XXX TB data from a HALF of T drive..not even mine.
    &i reduce them to 467.35 GB in 511077 files
    manually
    but
    i never...
    never ever never ever never ever...
    NEVER
    EVER
